As much as people like to say, I don't think ideas are cheap. The best e.g., indie games didn't succeed just because of great execution but also great ideas and a good vision. I still think that holds true today. Happy building!

Exactly. The idea that ideas are cheap and all that matters is execution is absurd.

Imagine saying this about a great record album in music. Or any masterwork of art.

From growing up with my young brain being programmed by surrealist MTV videos, in a society driven by tiktok brains, creativity will be at an absolute premium.

Just the idea that this is a bad time for the solo developer is so uncreative that it boggles my mind but it is hardly surprising.
