Fun in Making a Game > Money.

• First Priority: set yourself minimal steps, game development is extra hard business
• Second Priority: Have fun
• Third Priority: Don't build a system or a framework, build a game. Most games don't have to be maintained 20 years.
  
• Fourth Priority: Money!

I'm currently engrossed in a few other games so it'll be exciting when I get an email announcing 2.1 has been released.

[*]Fourth Priority: Money![/u]

press x to doubt

Actually most company where their goal become "make money" fall pretty fast (years). Money is a tool, not a goal, the goal of wube is to make great games, not money, money is just the tool society use to share richness. If you decrease quality, forget your true purpose and just want to make money you will loose everything, there is countless example of company who forget their have a purpose and go full money short term and they go bankrupt. Also, most company that fall are also just company that unfortunately lost their purpose because they become obsolete (technology swift, cultural change).

When you start a company, you don't start with "how to make money ?", you start with an idea to fill a need, you can also study the market and try to search for something missing or in short supply. No matter how much the peoples fail to understand this, its will always be true. Goal "make money", make no sense for society and is useless overall. Human doesn't need money, we need service, we need food, we need to fill our needs. Money is just oil to make the machinery works.

So put money as fourth priority make total sense, it's a priority, true, we can't totally forget it in the current world, but it should always be the last priority. Just don't go bankrupt, try to grow steady, don't grow too much, don't forget the true purpose of your enterprise (EXPLORE THE UNIVERSE OFC).
