5/ Making Fun Should be Fun

You're not digging ditches or performing brain surgery. You're making games. Have some fun.

9/10🧵

4/ Protect Your Vision

If you lose your vision, what was meaningful about it, what inspired you in the first place, then what's the point?
Be firm with the high-level goals and vision for your game.
Be flexible with the nitty-gritty details.

8/10🧵

3/ Build Your Design and Story to Break

Levels get cut, characters get deleted, and gameplay changes. Think: How can it be better without X?

7/10🧵

[Classpert @classpert]

2/ Start somewhere, anywhere

Sometimes video games are developed on the fly, and created out of order for technical reasons.
Practice writing from wherever you are: beginning, middle, or end of the game.
Otherwise, the video game industry might not be for you.

6/10🧵

[Classpert @classpert]

1/ Be both a craftsman and an artist

Every day, strive to be the best artist and craftsman you can be.
