In like 2017, I started doing like these cover videos, like singing songs and covering them. And I was like running ads on Facebook for the songs and one of them kind of went viral. And it got like a million views on Facebook in like the span of like two days. Oh, wow. And you think, wow, that's so cool. That must have been so great having all that attention.
Well, then people started like changing their Facebook profile pictures to like my personal photos on my Facebook.
And then they start messaging me. And it's like, no. And that's not even fame. That's barely anything. Yeah. So you don't want to be famous. You don't want everyone. Like if you looked up, if you Googled your name right now, could you find your address? Yeah. I hope not. Like, just right now. I really hope not. You probably could. It's in the phone books. You know? So, that's the thing.
It's like, I don't want, like, I'm actually, like, that's something I have to kind of think about. It's like, if this game takes off, I need to change my name.
My name, it's not like I'm even a studio name. It says, you start the game, it says, created by Devin Santee. This is probably a bad idea. I'm actually not smart. I'm technically smart, but I'm actually stupid.
You'll be like Banksy. There you go.
I can say whatever I want on the internet with no accountability because I'm Mr. Sleepy Man. I'm asleep. Ha ha. I'm unaware. This is gold, Jerry.
It just takes time.
You know, if someone's doing something with a goal in mind, like I'm playing guitar to get girls like that reads and like if you don't get girls or like it doesn't work out, then you're not playing guitar anymore. I guess you didn't really like playing guitar. I like playing guitar because I like to play guitar.
So like I don't have any other motive other than the intrinsic value of doing the thing. So then just naturally you become better.
We all want to be rich.
Every human being wants to be rich. It's all about the money. Actually, it is all about the money. If I don't make money, I'm going to die. It's all about the money. You're not wrong.
You're not wrong.
Indie games are the best.
Yeah, it's like you just have to care. Exactly. All these AAA games, does anyone care? I'm sure there's some people that care, but the driving force is to make a product. Indie games are not a product. And I think games in general, that is almost like a conflict. Is this a product or is this an expression?
Because in a way, it is a product, but these things are almost like they combat each other.
like i get people in my um in my discord that they tell me about all these accessibility settings that i need in the game and i'm just like you know what the number one accessibility setting is that you can actually download it and play it and it's done like yeah yeah you're not wrong baseline accessible to human beings it works that's the number one yeah the most accessible thing is that i made a game
So it's maddening. I mean, you have to be a little, I think I'm kind of delusional as well.
So living in the dream world, at least, you know, at least I'm honest about it.
I'm calling myself Mr. Sleepy man. I'm in the, I'm in the, my head is in the clouds. Yeah.
