Some other local developers have expressed challenges in getting exposure for their games, and Day sees the pros and cons of the design choices made.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s risky trying to build a game, that’s always going to be the case – what if people don’t like it? But you can drastically minimise that risk by getting as much feedback on your game concepts as early as possible – have people play your prototypes and see if they’re just humouring you or if they’re really loving something,\u201d said Day.<\/p>\n
Day continued, saying that positive word-of-mouth and criticism lead to better designed games.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the local games that are doing well in both sales and visibility internationally are games that began their life in public forums or game jams, not behind closed doors for fear of the ideas behind them being stolen. That’s a particularly irrational fear that seems to control a lot of local hopeful developers.\u201d<\/p>\n
