Verified indie game benchmark database
A subscription web app that catalogs small indie game case studies with normalized effort, team size, prior experience, reuse of assets or tooling, launch path, and revenue bands. It solves the biggest trust problem in this discussion: creators want examples they can actually compare against without being misled by vague timeline claims.
为什么这很重要
You are trying to answer a simple planning question: can one person build a small game quickly enough for the economics to make sense? Instead of clarity, you find examples with fuzzy timelines, unclear team involvement, and missing context about prior tools or experience. That makes every comparison feel unreliable. You do not just need inspiration; you need a benchmark you can trust when deciding whether to spend nights and weekends on a project. Without that, it is easy to overestimate what is possible, underestimate the hidden leverage behind fast success stories, and choose a scope that has little chance of paying off.
- · 专为 Solo game developers and two-person indie teams evaluating whether a compact premium or early-access game can plausibly earn side income or salary-level returns. 打造。
- · 最可能的变现方式：SaaS subscription。

MVP 方案 · 1-2 周
- Define a strict case-study schema for hours, FTE, team size, prior experience, asset reuse, price, and revenue band
- Build a landing page with sample benchmark cards and an email capture form
- Create a manual intake workflow for 25 seed case studies from public postmortems and developer submissions
- Implement database tables and search filters for genre, scope, and revenue range
- Draft a credibility scoring rubric that flags disputed or incomplete claims
- Launch a private beta with the first searchable benchmark set
- Add compare-view so users can line up projects by effort, price, and outcome
- Introduce contributor forms for anonymous revenue and timeline submission
- Set up Stripe billing and a paid tier for full filter access
- Interview 10 target users about which benchmark fields most affect greenlight decisions

为什么这件事可能失败
自我反驳——最重要的信任度信号
- 1Developers may like the idea but refuse to pay because they can approximate examples from free sources.
- 2The product may struggle to gather enough trustworthy data to feel materially better than forum anecdotes.
- 3If verification is weak, the core promise of credibility collapses and churn rises quickly.
证据综述
AI 如何合成此洞察——无原话引用
This was the most repeated pain across both batches, with roughly a dozen mentions centered on disputed timelines, unclear solo status, and hidden prior work. Users repeatedly asked for a vetted list with normalized effort and revenue context. The conversation also showed practical revenue interest, from modest launch income to salary-like outcomes, which supports paid demand for a benchmark tool that reduces planning uncertainty.
