Do you love a certain game? You might be able to mod it. If you can’t, you can still pick from a vast list of free game engines and try to remake the game. If you feel even more adventurous, you can even try to create a completely new fan game as an homage to those games you love. In this video, we're taking a look at some amazing stories of games that started as mods, remakes, and fan-made games.
UPDATE: Thank you to all the commenters who pointed out the typo in the original upload!

For our first episode, we have learnings from the team behind Dark Deity - a brand new Fire Emblem-inspired tactical RPG title released in 2021. The game made quite a buzz during its launch, debuting as one of the top selling titles on Steam, and in this video the devs will share how they’ve achieved that success.

In this video we’ll go over how to come up with a strong game concept and turn that concept into a sustainable game. We’ll look at mobile game industry insights, best practices, and we’ll even have a special guest from Unity, Andrew Kasbari, Director of Product Management, weigh in on the topic during the video.
Please note, while we appreciate Unity sharing their knowledge with the Ask Gamedev community, this is not a sponsored video.

If you're on a new indie game dev journey, one of the first things you'll learn is that most indie game developers don't succeed financially with their first game. This doesn't mean their games are inherently bad! It’s just that financial success isn’t always easy.
This video is the second part of our series about indie game revenues and how you might think about the prospects for YOUR game. We will explore six games and feature both games that were financial successes and games that weren’t. We feel this may help you guide your game to a better outcome at the time of its launch.
