Although written for academic-based development teams, the 9 tips here are at least worth considering. I disagree with the “interview quiz” part, but in general it’s good info. 😉 usc interactive media division | Blog | 9 Tips For Building A Game Development Team
It’s all about how a company is making zillions — except they mention a couple things that are worth pondering. Most interesting to me is the way they create games using 3-person teams, get them on to the web, and if they’re successful there they go ahead and expand them and push them to mobile […]
While Kongregate may be a “Flash game portal” I would assume Flash game players are probably much the same as mobile game players… …so this article might be right up your alley. The Kongregate COO shares her “six habits of highly effective F2P” — basically, how to keep players playing, and paying. Gamasutra – Kongregate’s […]
I’ve made no secret that I prefer 2D games over 3D — in terms of developing them *and* playing them. From a development standpoint, it’s almost impossible to do a good 3D game by yourself because not only are you doing the coding, but all the modeling has to be done. It’s a *much* bigger […]
At GDC 2013 Noah Falstein talked about the technique LucasArts used to design its adventure games. The article from Gamasutra linked below is cool for the info and for showing a piece of the puzzle dependency chart from Grim Fandango.

The link below isn’t to something strictly game-related, but I stumbled across the site and it struck me as a great resource for people who are making games for kids. Lots of info about the general kid’s entertainment industry, including games. If you’re doing software that is supposed to appeal to kids, it might be […]
I’m not a game developer in the Arab world (or even of Arabian descent) but this article has some good information from a panel discussion. It’s not deep info — it’s basically a quick 6 bullet points — but it’s worth the read. A Dose of Reality for Game Developers in the Arab World | […]
The blog post linked below was posted a couple weeks ago but I just discovered it — while it’s not Corona SDK-related, it’s worth watching. Well, reading and watching the 5-minute video that goes along with it. It’s the story of an iPhone game that was created in 30 weeks, and the video shows the […]
Interesting article (linked below) with actual numbers for the launch of a retro-style shooter by an indie gamer (he basically did the entire game by himself). One thing I found really interesting was 9 weeks after launch the Android version had 500 more sales than the iOS version (it’s a $1.99 game) — but the […]
