Somehow I've been doing this as an indie since 2011 and am still going. It's the longest-lasting job I've had in the industry by far. Contract work to pay the bills is harder to find now than it was back then, but we've since shipped a few titles that continue to bring in a bit of extra income.

Isn't that basically what theater/orchestra/band/etc rehearsals are? Or did someone else start shouting at an empty chair in public? I hate that I actually have to ask, but, you know, the current timeline has *reasons*.
