Hey guys !
Me (AAA Environment Artist with 4 years exp) and a friend (AAA Character Artist with 4 years exp) we want to do our own indie game in part time.
We are reading and watching a lot of discussions and videos about genre and theme and we would like to have your ideas on what type of genre we should focus (based on our strengths)
We are using UE5 and we have no issue creating realistic or stylized Environment and characters from concept to in the engine with optimizations. The issue is we have no skills in animations, blueprints, music, UI, UX, VFX and 2D drawing.
We want to learn blueprint using Udemy (Stephen Ulibarri blueprint course) before diving into the real project.
We are interested by Simulator/Job Simulator like Cash Cleaner, Tavern Simulator, Lawn Mowing Simulator, etc
Or a "small management game" like Tiny Book Shop or Minami Lane
We don't want to do a 3 years game so we are aiming for a smaller scope game if that even make sense 😅
Any thoughts of advices for us ?
Thank everyone !
