gamedev

Did anyone else get kinda blown away at first but how much more complicated gamedev is than you might imagine?

People overcomplicate game development.Listen, if you are a new studio:Avoid:- Making a game on a niche genre- Monetization first strategy- Disregarding user acquisition and marketing- Rushing the whole processInstead:- Start spending more time on research- Rely on data for your design process- Prioritize communication between departments- Don’t skip a phase (yes, especially QA)- Understand it takes time to ship a good gameFocus on these for your early titles.Build from there.PS: Time-Money-Number of games varies depending on which platform you are making a game.

This one's a goodie. Here is a list of excellent game dev portfolios to learn from! ➡ high-quality PDF with clickable linksI'm at Burning Man this week and completely out of contact! To continue to spread the love, I have scheduled a single, highly valuable Game Development or Careers resource to be posted every day on my behalf.

This is especially true when you're on a convention floor or otherwise have a deadline.

I will admit... this is one of the perks I enjoy about being a game dev
