It's no secret the rate of attrition is high. We'd love to talk to you about your own experiences if you ever feel inclined to email us.Jorge Alborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002928643693332446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-6557450825714933252009-08-11T11:43:36.936-07:002009-08-11T11:43:36.936-07:00You guys certainly have the conjecture part down. ...You guys certainly have the conjecture part down. Otherwise, it's your enthusiasm that made me want to read this site. I've been making games for years and it becomes an entirely different creature once you see behind the curtain.

Though I've been familiarizing myself with design theories and written works whenever I can.<br /><br />We've mentioned this before in response to some comments in the past, but I think it's important to point out again that the purpose of this website is not to create a game design manifesto. If my own writings are idealist, thought I do not believe most of them are, then it is because I believe idealism in that case is more beneficial than pessimistic realism. <br /><br />My goal is to provide analysis and personal conjecture. I think there are plenty of clever developers out there to handle the rest.Jorge Alborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857765716032886965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-33985700025649673452009-08-10T20:40:38.966-07:002009-08-10T20:40:38.966-07:00Don't know where else to pose this question bu...Don't know where else to pose this question but do either of you actually make games? <br />I don't mean to sound derogatory but your idealism when talking about games seems a little naive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-31230281769964870942008-09-10T19:29:00.000-07:002008-09-10T19:29:00.000-07:00Thanks for the suggestion.
