Or: write rock solid code but test it like everything can go wrong. Another: come up with great ideas to drop most of them later. “…realizing that making an overnight success takes at least 11 years…”

So the word Indie it's very important here, you're not designing games, you're free to make any game you can sell. So you may need some business skills, but to need maths skills it's relative of what game are you designing I think. I don't think Jan Sv?rák from Amanita is a polymath, I think he's more like an artist. But it’s not the same a good game designer than an indie game developer.

If you have more than one game idea and can't put all your concentration on one. Then it's just counter productive. I think Focus is an important one.

It's not easy to see yourself from outside and identify good and bad points. You have to be very open minded. I think the more difficult for me would be to realize and measure which one to improve.
