a few years?! i dont know if thats a good idea, do you follow any modern indie devs on youtube? look up 'elysian shadows' game and their earlier vlogs, kind of dissapointing
and you should be aware of the 'curse', everyone on here has fallen victim, projects become overly ambitious and 'poof', gone. anyone remember Telstar? he was the most active person on the forums, then one day he claimed he was gonna make an OS, 'poof', never heard from again, his topic is probly still here berried somewhere in the forums
