After seeing so many other posts similar to this I thought I should make my own thread about it. Yesterday I quit my job to go full time indie. Currently, my 1st game is being finished in C/C++, but I plan to complete many more projects using Game Maker in the near future. [I wrote a blog post here](http://www.superlongname.com/posts/i-quit-my-job-to-go-full-time-indie).
Please read it and let me know what you think.
I look for your wisdom and support in this huge life endeavor.
1st big project already exports to Linux.
If you can't afford Unity I hear Construct 2 is a mighty good tool and advertises Linux Desktop exporting right on the front-page.
What do you think your next project after Fields of Fresh might be?
If I were to make a RTS I would use Game-Maker, but the next project most likely will be a 2d hack-n-shoot type game.
Seriously though, did this person go on to write the Game Pencil Engine?

Sadly, I had to re-enter the work force, but happily I'm now a father and married.
I'm still working on Game Pencil Engine and it has evolved into a native cross-platform and cross-backend game engine.
