How do you become a successful indie game developer? Excellent programming skills, smart game design and fancy graphics don’t make you a successful game developer. It’s the ability to complete a game project which brings you success, confidence and joy. Dominating the inner game of game making is what separates the pros from the wannabes. It’s about staying focused, motivated and efficient as well as about thinking as a salesperson, not just as a designer, a programmer or an artist. This book shows you plenty of tricks how to prevent human nature from ruining your game project. Simple issues like embarrassment, procrastination or perfectionism can become death traps for your success. So you should be aware of these perils to avoid them or to cope with them. Most game development books address design, coding, graphics or similar topics. They teach how to make games. This book does not show you how to make them. It shows you how to finish them.
