it is by no means a good game, but a quick game i made called, "death road"... a endless running sorta of game, where you control a semi-truck and trailer on a very slippery road avoiding obstacles... I'm mainly proud of it because it's my only game my friends played endlessly trying to beat XD

i definitely don't like micro-transactions... if i made a large scale mobile game i will most likely just sell it for, say $.99 or what ever and leave out IAP and microtransactions...

i like games that are games, you have to play it, level up, earn your gear and money, IN GAME... i fee like designing a game around playing being able to spend real money on stuff in the game would be boring, even if it is profitable

i enjoy answering the questions and being "the center of attention" ,but i will say... google ads are expensive

start watching tutorials, messing around with engines... i think great beginner engines are unity and godot, although i'm particularly fond of unity...

a lot of developers suggest cloning a game when you first start out.. something like snake, pong, pacman, even flappybird... are all great to try and recreate for your first project...

once you have a bit of experience and want to create your own game, scope is the most important thing to keep in mind.. understand what you know, what you can plausibly learn. also don't have a plan that's set in stone, maybe a type of game you want to make, but start with that and experiment with game play. a game idea you have in your head may play out completely different when to start developing it, so just kinda make it up as you go along, at least until you have a prototype you like

i know there are a lot of half-assed shovleware games made with unity that flooded steam green light and are still more or less flooding steam... but honestly some of my favorite games are made with unity(kerbal space program and city skylines) so even if i didn't use it, i could never hate it...
