Remember, you don't have to do it as a job. The vast majority of ROM developers (and I'm lucky enough to actually associate with a few) do it because they enjoy it, and not for money.

It takes a lot of work though. Especially to keep a game updated like this one. I don't think Ill have the time. I envy develupers like cory that can spend time develuping games even with a full-time job.

Cory does it because he loves it (and by extension, us, in a manner of speaking), not because he's getting loads of money for it. If he could make enough from games to quit his job, he probably would, but he's in the majority, a person who works a real job because fun doesn't pay the bills. Only kids and the occasional financially blessed get to do this stuff without real life stripping away a huge part of their available time.
My forum and IRC network would be better if I had the time do everything I wanted to.

I wish it was a full time job but I squeeze in game development into nights and weekends when I can! |

Prince Harkem Guy DeValtos was one of the hundred children of the DeValtos Emperor. His trading vessels roamed from the far edges of the odd Steel Song clans to the insignificant back waters in parsecs beyond the might of Thulun. He was rich, he was powerful, and a billion plus beings lived and died by his endeavors.
And he was besides himself as a man with a chainsaw cut down his Elite Cyber Guards and walked over to him. The hockey mask was not a welcome sight.
"What the hell are YOU doing here? Assassin!"
Rabid Rabbit paused in confusion, "We know each other?" He tapped his chainsaw, bits of flesh, bone and cyber implants fell.
"You tried to take my head while I was with my concubine."
Rabid grinned, "Shit that was you? That was a total misunderstanding ... you see I met this guy named Rupert and ...oh well I guess it doesn't matter anyways. I'm here with good news!"
The prince kept his voice level, "And those are?"
"Congratulations, you're rich and powerful! As a memento to commemorate your greatness I've come to pillage, steal, maim, and party with your ship and crew! Consider this a measure of your success. Rabid gave the blinking prince a hearty slap on the back.
"Holy fuck. You're insane!"
"Bah, I thought you'd be happier. No worries though." The Mad Rabbit's voice softened as the chainsaw ramped up. "I'll have you smiling in no time."
