Ask HN: I'm quitting my job, will create a game – any advice?

Summarizing, after a nice adventure at a startup, I'm quite tired of it. My main issue is I have a lot of decision power in this company (without being in a management role), and I know that I cannot just move to another company and do what they say. I want to have something truly mine.

I am going to create a mobile game. I already have friend who is a graphic designer (and a gamer). We are pretty excited about some ideas and mechanics we've been exploring. I don't want to create "yet another RPG" that no one will play, but a "simple", entertaining game with a well defined business model and a well defined market target that hopefully will have enough traction to generate income. HN readers. I ask for advice! Some info you may find useful

- Country: Spain - Runaway $: (Just for me, for living) 12 - 18 months - Skills: Software engineer, programming mainly for Android and iOS, with a little of JS (Vue and friends) and a little of Spring + Big Data DBs.

Please share similar experiences, any advice regarding the project (still have not decided if Unity or Unreal Engine for instance) or just some encouraging words because I will need them.

Thanks!
