The Big Picture

Making a video game isn't as easy as pie despite how scrumptiously accessible Steam has made it. Payne Robinson argues against immediately diving into game development, advising instead to develop a balanced artistic skill set first. He emphasizes stepping away from video games momentarily to master composition in other art forms like music or visual art. This, he argues, is the way to eventually create video games that don't just blend into the AI-crowded Steam abyss but stand out with originality and craftsmanship.
