I've been building a video game with the Untold Engine, a game engine I developed. I wanted to create a racing car video game for my kids. I figured that it would make them happy. You can read part I here. I showed the current state of the game to my kids. To my surprise, they didn't like the direction of the game. I was wrong in assuming they would like a cartoonish type of video game.

When you live in a country that houses twenty percent of the entire worlds population, yet hardly see a genuine and honest representation of that country in video games, its time to take matters into your own hands. And thats precisely what Shalin Shodhan is doing with his studio, Masala Games. In the outlandish adventure game Detective Dotson , modern-day India plays an equally significant role as the titular hero.

The best way I've found to communicate something like this to someone else is to frame it in a way that makes sense and show how it affects their goals. In this case, production cares about overall throughput - they want to get the high priority issues addressed as quickly as possible. Don't tell them what to do - very few people respond well to that, especially if the person telling them isn't their boss.

The majority of a game's success comes from the size of its player base. Most games have a projected player count band they expect to reach (either via sales or free to play). I say band because predicting exact numbers is hard but it's more reasonable to expect somewhere between X and Y overall players. Every game has a minimum number of players it needs to reach in order to be considered a success.
