In this video, I break down the real revenue from my indie game Endurance, a pixel-art sci-fi shooter released in 2020. The game has flawed gameplay, terrible retention (15% Day 1 😅), and still — somehow — made me decent money across Android, iOS, Xbox, Switch, Steam, and HTML5.

I'll walk you through:
-What I did right
-What I did very, very wrong
-Why porting to many platforms kept the game alive
-And why even an imperfect game made with heart can keep earning for years

This is an honest indie dev postmortem — no fluff, no fake hype.
Just numbers, stories, and some lessons along the way.
