WELL GEE ZOMG You could have used only a couple of letter g's and maybe the LALA indicated uncare or swindle. Also I think you first should explain in a paragraph how you are doing yourself.

I need an idea for something to make. Preferably a subscription service which solves a problem in a lucrative niche that can make me $$$ or perhaps even $$$$. This is how I am doing. LALALA. ... I just wanna retire already I do not enjoy working ;_; [Edited on April 4, 2014 by DTM] ____________ :o |

Quoting Zomg: 2D games seem to be a lucrative niche lately. are you joking? I think games are about the most crowded niche anyway. To make a good one becomes actual tedious hard work. ____________ :o |

I am not joking, no. It is a widely known fact. Many people like easy, no-brainer 2D games. There are many advantages for the developers: shorter development, less effort, more money. So yes, 2D games (especially on mobile devices) are a crowded niche. A practically dead niche would be original board games like Heroquest. ____________ |

YOU MAKE ME SAD  if you could invent a averagely complex game that was 2d such as a real CLASSIC it doesn't have to be heroquest so why mention that is dead? actually a game similar to heroquest with cool minigames would be AWESOME for mobile phones. ____________ |

Maybe that would be fun for you, but most people (your average Joe) already have enough brain tasks as it is. They want a game to relax, not to be using their brain on it extensively. So, that is why no-brainer games are popular. Just like Yahtzee Zero Punctuation says: "I'd rather be retarded McSpacky pants and having fun with my ball than being bored out of my huge genius mind". ____________ |

Nah, you have port it because it uses a game pad not a touch screen. Needless to say this often means a complete redesign of the input and lots of other things. Imagine you have a ton of menus and buttons that respond to touch input, then you have to port it to a gamepad. Lol. I'm sure that's worth it. ____________ laffo |

Quoting Fiona: why would you make an ouya game It's a seriously good market for indie games. I did think of trying to get on a Steam Greenlight and release something on that. Though I wanted a console platform, something with a controller always present. But using Unity3d - ports to OUYA with a little knowhow (well I admit it was quite more lengthy than that) and once your game is about ready it slots into the store quite easily. You get a good cut of profit. Kind of like X360 Marketplace but more exposure and more viable/successful as a platform. I think those are good reasons.
