I know. Most large-scale indie projects, like TUNIC for example, take around 7 years to complete, and I suspect mine likely will too.
I've always looked forward to the possibility of rebirth though, so I can start development on my dream game around 2013-2014 and have it be released around 2020-2021. Not to mention I would've been able to release several flash games throughout the 2000s.
I'm fully aware about how you should start off by creating smaller games before moving onto your more ambitious ones. In fact, I'm currently working on my first game in PuzzleScript.
What I was really inferring to by the topic of this thread was that if anyone wish they were born earlier, so that way their dream games would've come out at the same time as a bunch of other iconic indies like Celeste or Pizza Tower, as opposed to 20 years later. The reason why I worded it differently is because it's asked a lot on the internet and I felt like everyone would've gotten sick of hearing it. Perhaps I should've written the second sentence a bit better to reflect that.
'There's an easy reason as to why I didn't, I was born in 2007.'
I feel like my dream game should've already been released in, say, 2020 or 2021. There's an easy reason as to why; I was born in 2007. But looking at how many great games had been released by then, and how mine likely won't be a thing until the 2030's or 40's kinda bums me out.
Anyone else feel like this?
