Ok so here is a questions for you guys, hope we can get a diverse group of answers.

So, as a first game, should someone dive in and take 6+ months to make a BIG game ( like a massive RPG ect. ) or Maybe take 2-3 months and bring out a smaller game ( Endless Runner, ect. ). Just curious, like is it better to make a couple small apps ( good apps of course ) in a small matter of time to get the app store populated with some of your games, Or would making one BIG game and putting "all your eggs in one basket" be the best way to go ?

Let the comments begin !!

    I say for the first game make a simple game that can take up to 3 months , and like they say.. "test the water" .
    Maybe start up from a game template and build your game on it , however, i won't suggest endless runner , you can make tones of small creative games that are not endless runners .
    Also tomorrow comes the new update with the Tables feature , not sure if this feature is pro only but its nature shows that it will be available for free users as well ..
    So , this feature opens up TONS of new type of games we can make with game salad , make sure to check it out !

    Good luck with your game David =)

    Start small. Do not attempt your major idea you have straight off. Make some smaller games, learn as you go and you'll feel much better attempting your big game after a while.
