Whatever brings some joy, it's the signal.

Very fun. Huge potential if turned into a product.

Can you elaborate? I don’t see it..

The point is the productand therefore the revenue is scalable. Much more than a salary in a 9-5 job.

I think the optimal solution is to be able to alternate between the last 3 ones.

Agree, how do you plan to go about it as a developer (I presume)?

minecraft is written in Java I believe.

My goal is to make a full kotlin android/iOS/backend game with shared business logic. How fare are wew from that?

Quizlet has been doing shared business logic with Kotlin - Ankush Gupta has written and talked about it https://medium.com/tech-quizlet/shared-code-at-quizlet-kotli....

We've been experimenting with this model too, as "write once, run anywhere" is very tempting for business logic, but those platforms have traditionally fallen down when it comes to UI and other native functions (e.g. alarms, sensors, etc). So far, it's proving very do-able. Non-trivial in some areas such as multi-threading, but a lot more practical than replicating the same logic across Android, iOS, and web.

There was a talk about it at KotlinConf. https://kotlinconf.com/talks/6-dec/124273/

The individual talks' videos aren't up yet but you can probably find it here: https://youtu.be/nfb6lDnvtKQ?t=13852

Why not unity? (It's an obligatory question at this point)

Because it's not FLOSS. At least that's my reason.

Because I absolutely love Kotlin and I feel I'm much more productive with it. I have a hard time working with script languages and feel confident on my code nowadays.

Also, Kotlin let you use tons of java libraries.

C# is hardly a script language, also Kotlin Native is hardly a tool for gaming with its lack of real multithreading support

I both wrote games with Unity and Kotlin. Kotlin makes me much more productive and libgdx is well more suited for 2D games. Backend in unity?

Money

I can attest to this. Karma is indeed a thing it seems!
