What I've learnt as a critic making my fist game
Tom Francis is a journalist for PC Gamer and what i thought was a good talk listing some good ideas and bad ideas he had while making his first game Gunpoint. http://t.co/TL8Gb76V
The list of points:
Good - Actually start
Less good - Ambition
Good - Make a fun mechanic first
Less good - Hand-built content
Good - Send it to testers often
Less good - story
Good - Explain it in a video
Another thing I learned - Everything has changed
Another thing I learned - The limiting factor is you
Another thing I learned - Everything is going great for me but it nearly didn't so make sure it doesn't not go great for you
