  coding is not easy, it takes time and patience. Start a small project and add stuff to it.

  When I made my first game in Gideros, Gideros was not free, I just downloaded the free version of Gideros, made a short game in 1 day and posted it on Google. That game brought me 8000$ and then I bought a paid version of gideros

  is gideros really easy than the others?
  
  thanks.

  I guess it depends on what type of games do you want to make, what genre?
  
  Imo there're no easy solutions in gamedev, they're all equally tough.

  @Oleg $8000 for one day of work, this is well rewarding! But I guess it was years ago? Nowadays, the market looks cluttered and I wonder if it is still possible to make such money with all the competition?
  
  To be back on topic, I am on my first project (about 4000 lines of code, far from being done), and I progress steadily which is very satisfying. The only thing that may stop me now is a possible lack of time due to job, life, family.
  I like Gideros because it is reliable out of the box. And it is really free.
  
  Starting to work with Defold before, I ran into issues I didn't experienced at all with Gideros. It does not mean they were impossible to solve, but with Gideros I bypassed them entirely. Also Defold's messaging system feels like a useless layer of complexity. In Gideros, you simply use the API.
  
  Unity is probably also a good choice, but Gideros allows me to owe nothing to anybody whatever happens. It makes me feel ownership, and I love this feeling.
  
  The Gideros player is also great and really shows what the app will look like on the target device. It is very reliable. Did I say reliable again?

  The market was always saturated, I was just lucky and I got into a niche that was free.
  I saw a poor quality game in the store that had millions of downloads, and I thought I could do better. I did not think to make money on it just so it happened by accident.
  
  It's just a lottery - a game I made in 1 day brought me income, and a game I made for several months did not bring anything ..
