Versatile Game Designers

Making games requires versatility. By this I mean that an indie game developer get’s to do all kind of stuff from coding and designing game mechanics to marketing. 

One of the most educational experiences of my life has been making games. Before that I couldn’t make a paper prototype or edit videos let alone code anything.  Now I can do all of these things and I have learned plenty of other skills too. And I have learned all of these skills during game projects.

The most wonderful thing I have discovered however is that the eagerness to learn new things is an amazing asset. And It doesn't concern just making games but my whole life. 

It’s incredibly rewarding to notice that today I possess skills that I couldn’t even imagine to know year or a two ago. 

For example some time ago I didn't think that I could make a game trailer. However I am making one right now for Con Amore!

In case you are interested in learning new skills I highly recommend making games :)
