    Collecting in games, good or bad?

    I think collecting in some form is addictive to people. If you look at console games like Yooka-Laylee or Ratchet and Clank or any of the Lego games, they are all giant collectathons. Even the PS4 trophy system is nothing more than a glorified collection, because it doesn't benefit you in any...

    Getting a Team??

    This might not be super helpful, but: On my main game, HP, I definitely haven't done it alone, but I don't have a co-owner. I've hired programmers and artists, and there are mods and admins who came after it opened. Some of the mods/admins have been with me basically since the beginning, and...

    Coding pains

    I always describe it as "it feels like my brain is melting". It's the same feeling I get when I've been playing a video game and have to re-do the same part of the same level over and over and over and over because I keep dying. It's also the same feeling I get when I have to drive for a long...

    Looking for Horse/Environment Artist

    Hello! :). I'm looking for someone who can do a horse/environment painting for the background of a HTML5 game! It's for horsephenomena.com. Since HP is not art-heavy, I don't have a specific style requirement that you'd need to match. I have some examples of poses that I like and the sort of...

    How do you name things for games?

    I'm terrible at naming things. HP took me two weeks to name and I'm still not super happy with the name 8.5 years later, haha. But that's basically how I did it. I chose a base word and then just tried different combinations until I fell on something I liked.

    October Breed Spotlight

      Did you know that every month on HP we pick a rare-on-HP horse or dog breed to showcase on the game? Along with our spotlight, we do a giveaway of a pointed pair of that breed, drawn as close to the 15th of the next month as possible. This month's breed spotlight is: Selle Francais About...

    Life and death in virtual pet sites?

    Personally I'm not a fan of true death (I sound like I'm talking about True Blood right now, haha) on pet sites where the pets disappear forever. On HP, animals retire at a certain age so they can't be bred anymore or show anymore, but players can keep them "alive", or they can retire them which...

    When To Go Public?

    I'm a strong believer in not going public at all until you have a firm opening date (by which I mean the game is basically done and you're just putting finishing touches on). If you're opening for testing, I recommend also not opening for that or advertising for it when the game is still in an...

    Working on a Game as a Person Who Struggles

    This is kind of personal, but I'm generally pretty open about mental illness, so: I have ADD which I take medication for (and have on and off since high school), and I also have issues with generalized anxiety and OCD. I have also run a successful game for 8.5 years, and continue to make a...

    Dealing with Criticism as a Game Dev

    Those quotes speak to me. Especially that totally 100 million people can tell you you're great, but if one person says you suck then immediately you're like "Oh no! What if everyone thinks this? What if they convince all the people who like me that I suck? What if I really do suck?!". I've had...

    Keeping up with your game, what are the daily tasks?

    Kind of digging up an old topic here, but I usually get on, respond to messages/emails and resolve anything there, then I go and respond to forum posts and mod forum posts, and generally sit in the game's chat while I work on whatever else needs to be done that day (which varies greatly by day...
