How to Avoid Video Game Programming Mistakes

How can you be good at video game programming? There are many ways, but one of the best ways is to avoid common makes in the industry. This will help to make sure that your final product is the best one possible. Here are some key goof-ups to avoid:

1. Be a good businessperson

This is another important way to be a better video game programming developer. Game designing and coding are important, and you shouldn’t forget how important they are in developing a quality game.

On the other hand, the success of a game can greatly be related to how good of a businessperson/marketer you are. Gamers can’t play a title they don’t know about! Keeping this concept in mind will help you to set aside enough money for selling the game.

That said, you should certainly focus on video game programming that develops the best game possible. If the game is a high-quality one, the chances that you’ll be able to market it will be much higher.  

2. Have a good team

This is another key step to take if you want to have a successful video game. If you’re not good at design, marketing, artwork, etc., find people who are. This will help to develop the best game possible, which is likely your ultimate goal.

It’s tough sometime tough for us to admit that we're not great at every aspect of game development. However, keeping that in mind will help to put together a super team that includes workers for video game programming.

3. Have outsiders play-test your game

If you take this step it’s yet another way you can help to produce the best game possible. By having complete strangers handle this aspect of game development, you’ll get open and honest feedback about how you can improve the game.

On the other hand, if game testing is in-house it will be more likely that you’ll get the feedback you want to hear instead of what you need to hear. You’ll also get a fresh perspective from someone who is trying out the game for the first time instead of dealing with it on a daily basis.

4.  Know your limits

This is something you should always do, but it’s especially important in video game programming. It’s very critical in terms of the budget you have to work with.

Many game developers dream about making it big by developing a game that sells like hotcakes. There’s nothing wrong with dreaming. However, you should certainly consider the budget you have to work with, which is especially true for indie game developers. That’s because it could have a great effect on the type of game you’re actually able to produce.

On the other hand, it doesn’t mean that having a small budget will prevent you from developing a hit game. It just means that it will be less likely, and especially if you’re not realistic about how your budget for the game.

If you avoid these video game programming mistakes you’ll be on your way to developing the perfect game.

When I was ten years old, I did a project where we had to create a newspaper clipping of our future. I wrote, "Madison Russell, newest, and youngest, employee of Google". Hard to believe that almost six years later I still want to work as a programmer. I'm getting closer and closer to reaching that goal, and that makes me really happy.

I was updating my website, and I thought I’d upload footage for one the older games I’ve worked on. This strange project, Spew, was created for TOJAM 2013 with wawaboopboop, foner, and wunderbrot.

For this game jam, we didn’t really figure out the direction of our project until the end of the second day (TOJAM is three days), which made this game jam one of the more difficult ones. It’s important to capture the “fun” aspect of your project as early as possible and build your game around it.
