The Hardest Part of the Game

I don't know what you find the most difficult when producing a game, but for me it is Game Design. Urgh! It makes me want to tear my hair out! I have to balance introducing new elements while retaining and blending previous elements into a cohesive, challenging level. I used to think that programming was the toughest part, and then designing levels was much easier. But if you're still reading this, then you know that I am feeling much different right now. Does anyone have any tips when designing levels? And what do you think is the hardest part of producing a game?

    The hardest part for me is the art and the UI, I spend way more time on that then code.
    Best thing for me is i don't make levels. I get board way to fast. So thats what my buddy does. I do the art and code and menus and he makes the levels and tests the game.

    cheers

    5 Core controle elements PART 2

    I now live in a college town so I signed up with the school of informatics (the closest thing Indiana University has to Comp Sci) to get an intern. I'm thinking that I will have this person build levels for me on some future games.

    *releases depressed sigh*

    That's a lucky break, Tshirtbooth. My colleague runs the business and marketing side of this endeavor. He isn't very involved in the actual game production. He makes a few ideas now and then, but mostly I am on my own.

    Suddenly, hundreds of indie developers raised their heads. They didn't know how, when, where, or why, but they knew someone had summed one of their greatest hurdles in one clear verbalisation.

    Letting a game go is the hardest part for me.

    I'm always thinking 'I'm sure i've forgotten *something* important...'

    QS :D
