[Ep327] The Systems Checklist Trap
from Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch · host Butterscotch Shenanigans
Greetings, Shenanites! This week, we talk about spoons in the pot, car sheets, and emotional appeal. Rules aren’t there because they’re true; they’re there because they’re useful. Until they aren’t. Experience is learning when and where to break those rules. Still, all the VC money in the world won’t save you if you completely miss the point. Questions answered (abbreviated): challosis: How much time do you put into the "first pass" of gameplay elements? How do you avoid shipping half-baked ideas?
