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. Wait, shouldn't a prototype come first? After a good idea, the most natural action is to prototype it. An Indie or Experimental Game : Steam, GOG, etc.
