A small video about how to be successful and develop your games

Mammoth

Here is a small video about one man's success in the music industry. I feel that it applies to indie developers today. Making a hit game is very similar to making a hit song in the past. Personally I have benefited a lot of Derek's advice. After being in the music and film industries I feel that the game industry is headed down that path as well.

The key information here is to keep trying and innovate versus perfecting something that is broken. It goes against popular thinking but so far my life is way better as a result of just trying new things and experimenting.

I would love to discuss this with everybody

Good Video, I like the cartoons also I like the concept behind the idea and how it reflects your experiences. But I dont agree with it totally and would not offer it as life long advice or as an sudden epiphany on the subject.

But thank you for sharing that, very well thought out !

Of course there is no one way to do things. I just feel that if for whatever reason your game is not a hit make a better one versus improve the old one.

Thanks for sharing this awsome video. We all are lucky beacuse we have powerful tool like gamesalad and beilave me if we create game with planing we all have ability to create awesome game with gamesalad and we can beat the angry birds ooops, sorry we do not need to beat angry birds but we want to reach on top no 1 position. And yes we can do that. We have tshirtbooth, scitunes, nextgen, john and other awsome programmers and they are always ready to help us. I believe that soon one game came out from gamesalad and we all can see that game on no1 position in Appstore.

Don't just make another Angry Birds clone....keep innovating
