I've learned the hard way that programming skills are NOT the most important factor in game development. Since I started working on Samurado, my 90-day commercial game challenge, I've been forced to approach game creation differently... and I've learned A LOT!
In this video I share what I consider to be the most important skill to creating a successful game, as well as some practical tips and insights that I've learned on my game dev journey.
