Now I understand the life of an indie game developer. :)

I love the Rock music so much

"Indie Dev Story" is a badly made kind of tycoon/life RPG where you take on the role of an amateur developer and try to make money by shoving garbage onto Steam Direct at $100 a pop. The premise is inaccurate because it implies the developer had a software development job and quit it to make garbage games for profit, but from my experience the majority of Steam Direct amateur developers would never qualify for a real game development job. Anyway this is a badly made take on what could have been an almost tolerable game, it's unpolished and the UI is downright janky, it's tedious to play and unengaging. It's also another one of those cases where no research was done prior. Steam has dozens of better software development tycoon games, some of them professionally developed. Gameplay consists of maintaining a couple of stats along the tycoon loop, socializing, sleeping etc, these are all tedious sub-games that detract rather than enhance the already poor main game loop. The "game" here is of a pretty low technical standard. The implementation is basic minimum effort stuff, more like a weekend project rather than a serious, professionally made product... and it's bad even compared…
