I wouldn’t feel comfortable working on a game if I had to just follow someone else’s ideas. I also like not having to convince other people, especially management, about a game design decision or artistic choice. Solo developed games have much more room to be experimental and weird, and I love that.

Throughout high school, I played a ton of different kinds of games, but the games that me and my friends would sit around the table and talk about were games like Fallout 1 and 2, exchanging stories of what had happened the night before. You can also help by spreading the word about this game. Thanks for reading!

Not only do most game designers not appreciate the tremendous power of this aspect of human experience, but there is very little recognition of the intensity of the emotions that can be brought into play through curiosity. However, to make the curiosity motive work in games requires tremendous co-operation between departments.

The first big mistake most developers make is starting with pretty art, making a simple prototype, and then expect to develop the rest of the game the same way. Starting over, is the game commercially viable? Wait, shouldn't a prototype come first? After a good idea, the most natural action is to prototype it.

The only true bright spot was Art of War , which despite prototype level production quality has scaled up to over 5M in net revenue a month with no stop in sight! Machine Zone was the undisputed leader in 4X game operation as one of the first companies to truly run a F2P game-as-a-service. Then Yu-Gi-Oh came along.

A new type of game. This platformer is different from “standard” ones and many development rules don’t work here, either them being game design, programming, and art. I took a pause from social media ( instead of doomscrolling ) and you might know why… cough cough… 2020. Initial “success”. What’s next?

It's mostly "safe for work" even if the actual game is not. That Lonesome Valley is a short gay cowboy romance game about walking, sheepherding, and kissing. Back in 2019 I made an unfinished prototype for a Gay Western game jam to contemplate the anniversary of influential gay cowboy film Brokeback Mountain (2005).

Brandon: In regards to your first printed game, Go Fish Fitness , how long did it take you to make it? If you want reviews available when you launch you Kickstarter (I didn’t, but it is highly recommended) you need to have your completed prototypes in a reviewers hands 6-8 weeks before you launch. The cost of game development.
