Hey,

I just started writing game design tutorials at my site. I want to share the knowledge i learned while working 2 years fulltime in my game Elliot Quest. Additionally i will share art assets that are free to use for your games.

take a look:  http://ansimuz.com/site/game-design-tutorials

Tutorial on gamestates/screenstates, please?  

[ansimuz]

Of course, you go it.

Do you want feedback on any of these articles? Would you prefer it be left in the comments section of your Tumblr or given here?

I read your article on scope. Not bad, though I disagree with certain key points.   

Side note: I checked out your trailer for Elliot Quest. It looks really good!

Please post feedback os the comments of the article. Of course thats only my point of view so its pretty cool to have a discussion there.

Hey man, Im rlly new to this stuff, but I really wana learn to code games from scratch (not using any1 elses engines etc.) could you possibly do a tutorial on how to just make a game (preferably platformer) completely from scratch, bearing in mind that i have done very little coding etc. in my life.

Many thanks, xnelephant!

Where did you get those numbers for the Mega Man workload? I'd like to see a reference on that.

Also, did you proofread your scope article? It has multiple grammatical/spelling errors in it.

Mmmm i read that at a magazine years ago cant remember where, but for this article i search at wiki to refresh my memory.

Sorry about the horrible grammar i'm not the best writer i know, also English is not my native language.

While probably a few people put in some 20-hour work days, a team of 20 didn't work 50,000 hours in three or four months.  Putting aside problems of, y'know, homeostasis, Capcom wouldn't have allowed that amount of effort on a game they didn't believe in.  They only allowed employees to work on MegaMan 2 as a side project, so long as their official projects didn't slip.  So a dedicated small team probably did work after hours on their passion project, but it definitely wasn't 20 x 20 x 125 = 50,000.

In any case, the claim it supports (that it'd be impossible for a lone developer to finish a project of MegaMan 2's scale, even given modern frameworks) is just absurd.  Of course that's possible, because people actually achieve that, and well beyond.
