Why are you making your own games?

1

What's your background so far?* This field is required.If you don't see a perfect match, pick the best fit. (Prefer our older RPG-themed version of this quiz?)

I've done small solo projects on the side, and/or teams for short-term jams.

I have a degree related to game making, though it hasn't led to a job using it yet.

I've been doing tutorials, video courses, tinkering, but no big finished games yet.

2

Which of these best matches why you make games?* This field is required.

I'm making games I want to exist, navigating however I can make that happen.

I'm making games I think strangers will enjoy, to move towards doing it as a business.

I'm making games because it's fun to solve creative problems and develop my skills.

3

Who do you listen to when there's disagreement on what to do?* This field is required.

I do whatever I think is best. If someone doesn't like it, they can play something else.

I try to figure out what my player or customer thinks is best.

I strive to do whatever I can that will help and support my teammates.

4

How big of a team size do you prefer?* This field is required.

I want to do almost everything myself. I may involve a contractor or temporary teammate.

I dream of making the kinds of games that get made by large teams with many specialists.

I like small-midsize teams, a few people up to 15ish. It's nice to not be doing it alone, but I also don't want to specialize too narrowly because I enjoy wearing different hats.

5

Which of these is most important to you?* This field is required.

Staying true to my vision. If I'm not making it the way I think it ought to be, why do it at all?

Making games that many people will know about, top selling and/or widely discussed.

To make games as a lifelong activity, always tinkering on games, still doing it in 20 years.

6

How many skill disciplines do you want to do?* This field is required.

I'll learn 2-3 skill areas. I'd be bored with one, but I need quality to be happy. I may find a mixed role like technical game designer, environmental storyteller, art producer, etc.

I want to be among the best at doing one specialized skill, even if it means working with bigger teams.

I need to jump around between as many skill areas as I can. There's maybe 1 or 2 I won't do, but otherwise I find it fun to model, compose, write, draw, design, program, produce, etc.

7

Where do you see yourself in the tradeoff between size and number of games?* This field is required.

I prefer to make midsize games that take months - few years tops - doing one at a time.

I've love to work on a big AAA game for 5+ years that wins awards and people talk about.

I'm happiest when making many little games, maybe even more than one at the same time.
