Thanks Bilal for creating a video and bringing it to more individuals that need motivation and success stories in local community. For clearing and bringing more motivation we want to clear one thing that is i review isn't equal to 25 sales/users. Well after experience and knowing real numbers let me put it that way. 1 Review is equal to 80+ users/sales I genuinely pray and hope every new game that out after LIMINALCORE earns a lot more and same goes for next one after that. That's how the industry will grow!
I'm an Indian, and I found the video incredibly inspiring-not only for developers in Pakistan but for anyone passionate about game development. Many people believe that only games of GTA caliber are worth selling, but that’s not true. Players just want an enjoyable experience, and they're willing to pay for it. The key is to create a game, release it, gather feedback, improve it, and only then think about marketing and selling it. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Void Project was made in Pakistan. The work is brilliant, and I’ve seen its posts multiple times on Reddit too. Hats off to the team for their incredible effort!
Thank you! Yeah, gamers in subcontinent think that games like GTA and PUBG are the only sellable ones which has created such a negative space for our gaming industry in general. My point is that we should focus on crafting very polished short experiences and mechanics (so, called indie games) rather than focusing on open world adventures with multi-purpose designs and mega scope (which are mostly considered as AAA or AAAA games). In fact, it is a ladder: Indie/A -> AA -> AAA and that, we can't really dive into AAA without having any understanding of the appeal that Indie/A delivers to the audience. Because just as you mentioned, players want an enjoyable experience, and they are willing to pay for it! The Void Project is developed by my friends, Rayyan and Adil. Both are brilliant young individuals, and they are really passionate about quality games. The Void Project is their first real effort and definitely, we will see many more from them.
Just came here from your LinkedIn post Bilal and I'm so glad you're highlighting our local Indie Developers. Really hoping your platform grows even more and thank you for the Bridges Interactive shoutout, means a lot to us!
Heyy, you are very welcome. This video surprised many new people who have no idea that gamedev is even a thing in Pakistan and let us grow together iA! :D
it's making me sad why we pakistani don't promote such a unique channels like urs. Who is doing something great for the community rather than going to same path as everyone does these days. Respect to u man!🧡
As a CS student from Pakistan, I hope to see our country create globally popular games like GTA, but with a focus on positive themes that respect our cultural and Islamic values. Like, Imagine a game with an immersive story, like The Last of Us, but centered around messages that inspire and uplift players. It would be amazing to see games from Pakistan that showcase our culture and promote values in a meaningful way. I’m excited to see how our gaming industry could grow in this direction.
InshaAllah brother, I am also a CS student in my final year and I am interested in game development. I have also learnt how to use unreal engine 5 and made a first person horror game
I would like you to keep creating such quality content about this topic to help grow the community and inshaAllah we will be topping steam boards one day. We are supporting you broh......
I am so happy to see such an amazing response. I will continue inspiring indies and inshaAllah, we will do great on Steam. Thanks for supporting me! :D
Thank you! Raji is a global success and Liminalcore doesn't compare to it. It is an indie success but not of the same caliber as Raji. With that said, it is definitely hitting hard and being covered by big UA-camrs and Twitch folks. We are so glad to see indie gamedev scene growing in Pakistan and India. Let's keep it up and going! 😁⭐
Great video i'm from karachi or mein bohot time say koshish thi k koi game studio may job mil jai takay kuch experience hosakay lakin later realise howa hai pakistan may zero interest hai koi bhi game studio pe invest nahi karyga or mein actually may pc game ki baat kar ra hon mobile game toh bohot hai but thanks now i found some pak gamedev community
And the quality is very top notch. We south asian countries need to up our ante and thanks to social media everything is happening slowly. I was angry but glad to see feastables and prime launch in india. And we all know how codm, valo and pubg have some of the best teams playing at world league from both the countries
Also this is such a great channel damn. You should also cover Indian games and devs hopefully if the toxic Indian audience won't get attracted. Well probably they will be busy playing mobile games anyways. Subbed!
I'm literally in shock right now. I watched its full gameplay video by Hollow and didn't even know it was made by Pakistani game Devs. Great job! really 💯
Yeah, I felt the same way. Did you watch it till the end? Hollow literally gave developers a virtual PAT! This game is getting hits even in Japan and Korea.
I had no idea that games are developed at this level in Pakistan too. In 2024 first Glassworker movie and now liminalcore like these games that's really interesting and good news 😊 I'm Shujat Ur Rehman
Thanks Bilal for showcasing Alien Market Simulator! We are truly putting our heart and soul into the game and delivering a fun experience to the gamers!
Liminalcore is also by the same developers. Shadow Owl Studios We have so much planned for the future. Sure wait For Dawn is one of those projects. We have plans to get back to the project one day and create an amazing survival game experience!
Yeh saal mera steam account hack hogya that also means mera dev account bhi chala gya ...Then also My playstore account ...along with games ... Now just wish me to feel stable and start over again ... After these huge losses ... Sab hota hai to aik baar hi hojata keh banda hazam bhi nahi kar paata aisi situations ko
me ajsy 4 sal pehly aik game developer bnan chata tha or meny moding se shoro kia or meny 2d mobiles games bhi bnai lekin me koi supurt ni milli or mery financial halat bhi ni sai thay or Pakistan me iss chiz ko koi bhi ni smjta tha. me aik GTA like game banan chahta tha or mehnt bhi ki 15 hours kam kerta tha sekhta tha. lakin kisis waja se ye sab chorna per gia. mera dream tha ke Pakistan me bhi games bany AAA level ki.
I'm from Pakistan and I'm learning Game Development but I am having troubles learning it. The only source I have for learning is the Internet. I use Unreal Engine for games. Any suggestion and tips would be much appreciated.
Internet is the BEST learning source! Make small and complete games, publish them on free platforms (itch.io), get feedback from players, gain confidence while doing so and then, gear up for your first commercial launch on Steam inshaAllah!
Bhai hackathon k liye ignite cyber hackathon search kren google pe abi isi month hackathon horhe hen lekin ap next year part lesakenge, workshop hote hen july me aur actual competition is month me. Cyber security CTF events hote hen btw not programming@@ProgrammerCheema
I quit my job as a game developer 8 months into the job. My contract said we'd work on proper real games designed for consoles and PC. Lies. I got put on android, hypercasual games immediately. I quit and changed fields to become an AI engineer which is my job rn. Indie game development is a good idea but it can only be done by those who have the time and money available. I have a project in place for a multilayer game. I can develop it but I don't have the money required to even run an alpha playtest. Singleplayer games can work as indie in Pakistan, sure. But I don't care one bit about single player games. I like multilayer games and I like the development of multilayer games. If you think realistically, the moment indie game development gets big enough, it'll quickly get killed. Pakistan is dead set on killing the IT industry by imposing every sort of political barriers. It's the reason why people in this industry are moving out of the country because the country is actively sabotaging their source of livelihood. It's a good dream. But one I think I'll only be able to achieve when I'm outta this place.
I feel sorry for you. With that said, here's something I wanna say: the indies, I am talking in the video, created their own time and space for developing indie games. I know all of them and many are 'barely-making' middle class people. I, for one, do 'part time' gamedev jobs (YES, in a market where full-time is only available, it is possible and you must negotiate for it AND I have never worked on 'crappy' mobile games while so) and gamedev freelancing (the best path for indies IMHO) which allows me to set up my game studio and, develop my own games and/or content (videos). I know that indie gamedev is definitely very hard and is only for super passionate folks. The devs of Liminalcore failed multiple times before, to reach this success. It is mostly a matter of your will and undying thirst to keep going forward! :D
A little criticism from me... If we start thinking of government like this, good luck doing ANYTHING. Like seriously! That's like finding an excuse to do nothing. Allah per bhi tawakal karo bhai, raste nikal aate hain :)
@@ProgrammerCheema right right. I'll see what I can do. Definitely me trying to find an excuse to not do anything while I am trying my best to still find time to put in my game. Don't need to hear that, it'll only piss me off lol. What I'll instead say is, good luck with your projects. I'll find my own way I guess. What I have learned from the game dev industry is that it's literally one dev for themselves in this market.
That's a good question. Lost Twins 2 is being developed by Playdew which is itself, an indie studio of less than 10 individuals AFAIK but it does have a massive support of We.R.Play which is why they don't have any strict deadlines imposed on to LT2 release. In fact, Playdew is just the indie game division of We.R.Play IMHO. With that said, Lost Twins 2 is clearly going to be self-published without any publisher involved (or let's just say... without any 'external/3rd party' publisher involved since We.R.Play can itself be considered as a publisher but AFAIK, its only providing the financial backing i.e no marketing or PR) Other than that, this above information is a blend of true and speculated info and Urooj can answer this much better.
So happy to see this. I was losing hope but now after seeing this, my motivation has no bounds. I need a suggestion. I am currently learning Godot, Do you think that I should switch to Unity?
Glad to help and inspire you! If you already have experience in Unity, you should switch back to it. If not then, Godot is excellent and there's no need to switch.
Well, there are no biases here, I promise. In fact, I end up calculating much lesser than what the devs actually made. Check the pinned comment: it's from the developers themselves. Thanks!
Actually it depends on the resources put into the project. For one game earning 100k usd would be considered success because it have invested alot, and for another game earning 15k $ would be considered success because it have only invested 3 or 4k $. So it differs from case to case.
@@waqasshafiq2531 Basically you consider success where one get thier money back upto some extent. But my dear you ppl portraying this Success global recognition, dont you think you pull the bar down by giving overhyped. I am from India and we celebrate Success for the india game like "Raji".
@@saiyedbeckham buddy by no means it's a global success. Bilal is really excited for it because here in Pakistan we have a really small indie community. Almost like non existent compared to other countries. Some indies have been trying to create a successful game and this is the first one which have gotten success and some huge youtubers like IGP and Hollow played it. This is a huge thing for us as we didn't expected so much amazing feedback on the game. This was a very small scale project for us. We were successful from the first day based on returns. Yeah India's gaming industry is far ahead and creating some of the most amazing indie titles. Raji was a great game and deserved all the praise it got ❤ For us LIMINALCORE is a first success for the community and a big deal. It will encourage other indies to start working on there projects. We are looking towards better future and hoping to create better games and experiences. Nothing but love from us ❤
@@waqasshafiq2531 By no means to disrespect any of you or your team efforts for so long, Its just curiosity. Wishes for your Gaming industry to grow with lightning speed so we can clash on global level just like CRICKET 😁
Why not make games for mobile? for a solo dev, I think even thinking of making a PC game is stupid if you are doing it for money. making a mobile game is easier and also has a big chance of gaining a lot of audience if your game has a fun and rewarding game loop. even 10k active players playing only 10 minutes a day can make you $3k monthly. I have seen very average games with nothing special that have 1 million downloads. My personal goal is to revolutionize mobile gaming as I feel most of the mobile gaming market is pretty bad.
You just answered your question right at the end. Most of the mobile gaming market is just bad! Why is it so? This is because most of the individuals are in it for the money only. Quality is unfortunately not the first criteria to consider in the mobile market. Even Google is working real hard to fix this! I love well-crafted experiences in which devs has poured their hearts into. This is why, when we talk about iconic IPs, most of them are formed on the PC and console market which are then, ported to mobile. I am all for iconic IPs. But here, we see Car Parking 2024, Rickshaw Sims, Mega Shooter Pro and what not. I mostly see low effort games from local studios and that's fine as long as its all business. I like to see more passion in our local gamedev industry!
@@ProgrammerCheema but for me, it is the biggest reason for choosing the mobile market, I will give the players quality content and entertainment instead of just a simple 20-year-old buggy gameplay loop. for ig I'm planning on making a racing game. but I won't just make it a simple start-to-finish line game, what I have thought of doing is incorporating some time travel mechanics which I can combine with procedural-level generation. maybe add some bosses as well according to the level currently being played. Add some different multiplayer modes which you can play with friends. Instead of simple lvls, making them unique with carefully done lvl designing which makes the gameplay loop addictive no matter how many times you play it, you always discover something different. That is my goal and seeing the current mobile game market, I'm pretty confident that il provide an amazing and fun experience.
I see. And damn, that's quite a goal to achieve for a mobile game. It all boils down to quality at the end and I am glad that you are upto the task! Do share your game once its done and I will post it on my socials iA! :D
Most of our local industry (more than 95 percent) is already focusing on mobile game industry. PC indie gamedevs are a very small number of individuals who are working so hard and trying to achieve success. We should support them!

Thanks Bilal for creating a video and bringing it to more individuals that need motivation and success stories in local community.
For clearing and bringing more motivation we want to clear one thing that is i review isn't equal to 25 sales/users. Well after experience and knowing real numbers let me put it that way.
1 Review is equal to 80+ users/sales
I genuinely pray and hope every new game that out after LIMINALCORE earns a lot more and same goes for next one after that. That's how the industry will grow!
You are welcome and thanks for clarifying. I have pinned this comment for others to notice. 😉
Looking forward to more of your games. 💖

also do lookover games from other country where market is not that expanded like nepal,srilanka ,india ,afganistan etc.

Love from India

I don't see games or indie games Instead, I see unique interactive experiences that just fills your heart. Things completely out of the box.
thats nice , hope to see they will get the reach too. India too is growing in indie game scene for example Raji , this game made it big
Thank you! Raji is a global success and Liminalcore doesn't compare to it. It is an indie success but not of the same caliber as Raji. With that said, it is definitely hitting hard and being covered by big UA-camrs and Twitch folks. We are so glad to see indie gamedev scene growing in Pakistan and India. Let's keep it up and going! 😁⭐
Extremely happy about LiminalCore. It can be a launchpad for other indie developers out there like me.
Definitely and I am already working on it. There will be a announcement about on Shadow Owl Studios socials it in December 2024.

Totally relatable! Humari gamedev community main most welcome.
And the quality is very top notch. We south asian countries need to up our ante and thanks to social media everything is happening slowly. I was angry but glad to see feastables and prime launch in india. And we all know how codm, valo and pubg have some of the best teams playing at world league from both the countries
Also this is such a great channel damn. You should also cover Indian games and devs hopefully if the toxic Indian audience won't get attracted. Well probably they will be busy playing mobile games anyways. Subbed!

Sure. Good luck! :D
@@ProgrammerCheema Thanks Brother..
So happy to see this. I was losing hope but now after seeing this, my motivation has no bounds. I need a suggestion. I am currently learning Godot, Do you think that I should switch to Unity?
Glad to help and inspire you! If you already have experience in Unity, you should switch back to it. If not then, Godot is excellent and there's no need to switch.
mujhe bi shout out de do :C
Zaroor!
Your cash calculation is bias. Game need much more positive reviews and sales to put in the pocket of success.
Well, there are no biases here, I promise. In fact, I end up calculating much lesser than what the devs actually made.
Check the pinned comment: it's from the developers themselves. Thanks!
Actually it depends on the resources put into the project. For one game earning 100k usd would be considered success because it have invested alot, and for another game earning 15k $ would be considered success because it have only invested 3 or 4k $.
So it differs from case to case.
@@waqasshafiq2531 Basically you consider success where one get thier money back upto some extent. But my dear you ppl portraying this Success global recognition, dont you think you pull the bar down by giving overhyped. I am from India and we celebrate Success for the india game like "Raji".
@@saiyedbeckham buddy by no means it's a global success. Bilal is really excited for it because here in Pakistan we have a really small indie community. Almost like non existent compared to other countries. Some indies have been trying to create a successful game and this is the first one which have gotten success and some huge youtubers like IGP and Hollow played it.
This is a huge thing for us as we didn't expected so much amazing feedback on the game. This was a very small scale project for us. We were successful from the first day based on returns.
Yeah India's gaming industry is far ahead and creating some of the most amazing indie titles. Raji was a great game and deserved all the praise it got ❤
For us LIMINALCORE is a first success for the community and a big deal. It will encourage other indies to start working on there projects.
We are looking towards better future and hoping to create better games and experiences. Nothing but love from us ❤
@@waqasshafiq2531 By no means to disrespect any of you or your team efforts for so long, Its just curiosity. Wishes for your Gaming industry to grow with lightning speed so we can clash on global level just like CRICKET 😁
copying others games and cloning destory paksitani indiee industry
abe chal
stop being rude.
Why not make games for mobile? for a solo dev, I think even thinking of making a PC game is stupid if you are doing it for money. making a mobile game is easier and also has a big chance of gaining a lot of audience if your game has a fun and rewarding game loop. even 10k active players playing only 10 minutes a day can make you $3k monthly. I have seen very average games with nothing special that have 1 million downloads. My personal goal is to revolutionize mobile gaming as I feel most of the mobile gaming market is pretty bad.
You just answered your question right at the end. Most of the mobile gaming market is just bad!
Why is it so? This is because most of the individuals are in it for the money only. Quality is unfortunately not the first criteria to consider in the mobile market. Even Google is working real hard to fix this!
I love well-crafted experiences in which devs has poured their hearts into. This is why, when we talk about iconic IPs, most of them are formed on the PC and console market which are then, ported to mobile. I am all for iconic IPs.
But here, we see Car Parking 2024, Rickshaw Sims, Mega Shooter Pro and what not. I mostly see low effort games from local studios and that's fine as long as its all business. I like to see more passion in our local gamedev industry!
@@ProgrammerCheema but for me, it is the biggest reason for choosing the mobile market, I will give the players quality content and entertainment instead of just a simple 20-year-old buggy gameplay loop. for ig I'm planning on making a racing game. but I won't just make it a simple start-to-finish line game, what I have thought of doing is incorporating some time travel mechanics which I can combine with procedural-level generation. maybe add some bosses as well according to the level currently being played. Add some different multiplayer modes which you can play with friends. Instead of simple lvls, making them unique with carefully done lvl designing which makes the gameplay loop addictive no matter how many times you play it, you always discover something different. That is my goal and seeing the current mobile game market, I'm pretty confident that il provide an amazing and fun experience.
I see. And damn, that's quite a goal to achieve for a mobile game. It all boils down to quality at the end and I am glad that you are upto the task!
Do share your game once its done and I will post it on my socials iA! :D
@@ProgrammerCheema You got it boss
love from india mashallah
Thanks! Indian game industry is wayy ahead of us. We are trying our best. And yeah, I really like the aesthetics of the game, Raji. 😁

Yess, on my todo list. Suggest kerne ka shukeriya! 😁
They should also focus on mobile game industry. Not only in Pakistan but in every country u will find more mobile audiences then the PC. 😢
Most of our local industry (more than 95 percent) is already focusing on mobile game industry. PC indie gamedevs are a very small number of individuals who are working so hard and trying to achieve success. We should support them!
