That’s indeed a huge tasks which a game developer think before making any games.

Actually I wanted to be an animator when I was in school but somehow I could get on the track. I feel very happy when I see you all.

Best of luck

In fact, I strongly disagree, and I don’t see a single point that would be procrastination as itself (and I classify “marketing” as part of game development, as I do classify networking).

I see “game development” as something bigger journey than “doing a game”. I view game development also as growing as a person, learning new skills, socializing with others.

If I had titled this post “25 Things I Like About Project Work”, then I might agree with you. This post also takes no position in how much time I spend on these things.

For example, even though I like “physics in games”, right now in my game dev project, there’s no physics in it. So far I’ve spent like 47 seconds thinking physics in my current project (=when writing this blog entry + now replying to you).

Same goes for computer parts: the last upgrade I did was a bigger monitor. That took of course bit of time to learn what I need, checking prices, doing the purchase (and then figuring out what to do with the 2nd monitor ;)) but besides that, haven’t spent much time nor money on thinking upgrades.
