That's what businesses do. They borrow money to produce a product, and then when they start selling the product they expect to be able to pay off the money they borrowed and also make a profit.

How is fairly standard business practice somehow news in the gaming world?

Bring it on over to Xbox, that will surely help.

Although its great to see a developer not rushing their game out the door, but after 6 years (and that's when we first learned about it, it was probably in development for longer) its getting to the point where your vision may be too ambitious for your own good. 

Final Fantasy XV (formerly Final Fantasy Versus XIII) has been in production for over 8 years if I recall correctly.

What does that have to do with anything?

I'm still trying to teach myself not to end up spending more time and resources than I have on developing a game

I'm still wondering if this game is an hommage to Myst or just a clone.

I had forgotten about it. I hope the increase in scale benefits the game.

I felt like it was self-explanatory, but I've highlighted the important parts for you. It doesn't matter how long it takes to make a game. What matters is how well made it is. Sometimes things take longer, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should just give up.

That's not how the real world works, you have to take your budget and the size of your team into consideration when you design your game.  People don't have an endless supply of resources.  Also no where did I say he should give up.

People borrow/lend money to fund new projects businesses. It's actually unusual to fully fund your next project with the money from the last project/game.
