Can there be a best way to do this?<br /><br />My philosophy is to come up with a cool game design concept and develop it into the coolest, best game I can make. If I was to focus on making it into something that will appeal to some age, gender or location, I then have to be either very lucky or very diligent to get it right...it's easier (for me) to just make what I think is great rather than guessing at what others might think is great.<br /><br />So, rather than, for example, making a game that tries to appeal to 50-year-old women who garden, I would try to make a very cool gardening game that wasn't kid-oriented. (Disturbingly, it seems Zynga has somehow done this...conquering the "50-year-old women who garden" market.)<br /><br />Localizing - getting feedback/collaboration from a game designer already living in that special locality (country).<br /><br />Next two questions: Depends. Depends.<br /><br />The final question I'll leave for others to answer.<br /><br /><br /><br />My question for you: Why haven't you allowed the Comment as: Select Profile option of Name/URL - so that I can input my name and URL when I make a comment?<br /><br />My other question for you: Why don't you have your email address someplace here so that I didn't have to post the above paragraph - but instead could have sent it privately?Jack Everitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147956932551396362noreply@blogger.com
