No idea if the thread is still active but here's my story:
I want to create mindfulness and relaxation games but without them being boring. Most apps are pretty bare bones and simple that have minimalist approaches to helping with anxiety. I wanted to change that and add stories and characters that are memorable and stick with people.
The market is also oversaturated with hypnosis content that is almost all exclusively NSFW oriented and wanted to change that to have content that's recreational and is strictly SFW for larger audiences since that niche is non-existent.
I had no coding skills at first and collaborated with my friend who used Renpy but over time I taught myself Gamemaker. Now I'm developing a new game more complex than my last, inspired by games such as Yume Nikki and Undertale.
