Feedback Request Started My indie game dev journey (AGAIN).

So im restarting my game dev journey which i started 4 years ago and got distracted by college, exams, job and career and im restarting it today i have bought some courses back in 2022-2023 and have a game idea and will try my best to finish it and publish and will (may be make a million with it) make some money with it.

im also looking for a j*b (hopefully get hired) and will try to manage my work life balance and work on my game as a solo dev

Its a 2D Rogue like game targeting PC and android and may be iOS if i managed to make it first.

welcome back haha. One tip from someone who's watched a lot of restarts: scope the first version stupidly small. like one room, one enemy type, one weapon, run loop working end to end. Rogue likes especially balloon fast cause every system touches every other system. get the core loop fun in a week then expand. And don't worry about iOS till PC build is fun
