Hello,
I'm a video game developer who was recently laid off and has started filing for unemployment. The games industry is currently in fairly dire straits, so I expect that it will take quite some time for me to actually find a job. As such, I'm currently working on a game project in my free time (which I have a lot of) to keep myself sharp and learn about some new technologies in the field.
Although this is currently just a learning project, if I spend enough time on it, it could become a commercially viable product that I could sell. If it gets to that point, I'd drop my job search and switch to working on it full-time. And, since being an independent developer is a long-standing dream
