Just saw this thread, it’s interesting to read about the experiences of more experienced game devs and what they have learned from past mistakes. Hopefully, I can get to that point too. lolz 
It looks like I’m starting off in the right foot though aiming for something small and simple like a tower defense game.
[MENTION=1249]I Create Art![/MENTION] Good luck with your game, I think it looks great so far. I’d give it a try but I’m not sure where to download it nor how large it is. The internet in my country is absolutely horrendous and ISPs enforce a data cap, mine is only at 800 Mb per day so downloading anything larger than that takes a few days and is a little bit problematic. lolz
