Agree with this completely. Also, you should make sure that game design is
also good. A good idea on paper is all well and good, but it also has to
translate into a good game. This is where I think while you have a
programmer, and you to design, it's always good to have a max of one or two
other people on board. If you need help or need design ideas, email me
offlist. Music as well... if you need anyone else to do guitar tracks, I can
do that.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] side scrolling robot game concept clarification...
what are your thoughts
Hi Ben,
This is what I have to say for your developer.
I think this game has a lot of potential. I think that, from what you have
told us, the logistics are down. I'd say go ahead with it. A few pointers
though: Make sure you use high-quality audio. This includes sounds and
vocals. Nothing detracts from the gameplay of an audio game quicker than
crappy or poorly produced audio. Depending on what you require and the
quantity of those requirements, sounds can get fairly expensive but like I
said it all depends on what you're looking for and what you need.
Once you've finished coding, get a good beta team. Test, test, test, test!
Try to find as many bugs as you can before you release. Even though you
might not be able to find every single bug, users will respect you if they
know you took the time to continuously test for problems rather than just
compile and hope for the best.
Good luck!
