As usual, great work from Ben Kuchera, and good reading for new game developers:
We talked to a series of developers about lessons they learned from their first games, and asked those developers to give starting teams the advice they wish they had been given on their early projects. We talked to some tiny studios, some larger studios, and some in between, but they all responded enthusiastically. Everyone likes to talk about their successes, but people are rarely asked how they messed up along the way, and what others can do to avoid those same mistakes.
