Hello,
We are a team planning to make a 2D RPG game. But still not sure about the platform to target.
As the main programmer, I have experience in C and Java.
We still hesitate to use C to make a PC (Windows) game, or Java to make an Android game.
Of course, as we want it to become our fulltime job, we want to earn money with it.
Taking this in consideration and the programming languages knowledges we have, do you advise us to go to PC or Android?
Thank you for your precious opinion!
Use whatever you want. Programming languages are tools, and if you're alright using C on PC and Java for Android then go for it. Your end user doesn't care what language you used… Just as long as it works, and your game is enjoyable. In this day in age you can find an engine and work in one language then deploy to more than one platform.
PC vs Android will depend on your target market as games developed for PC are different than those made for mobile in terms of Game Design and monetization. You'll also need to have a fairly large budget for marketing either way.
