Hey bud, don't give up on your dreams man. Game Dev is rough, I would know. I'm making an extremely complex (Code Wise) corruption game with a Female Protagonist. I know how hard game dev can be, how much it costs, how much time it takes, and how people will treat you... But you gotta keep at it man. It'll pay off if you keep going, treat your Patreons right, and put out content that you'd like to see yourself. And of course, GIVE IT YOUR ALL. I think you're on to something here, so don't give up!
