Game Design: Be A Leech

A part of being a successful content creator and publisher is trying new ideas, but also doing what’s tried, true and successful. This is why you’ll need to be a leech.

What’s that? I’m glad you asked…

Be The Leech

Now normally leeches suck, literally. In this case however, you want to view yourself as a “sucker,” which is also usually a bad thing, but hey, bare with me.

You need to absorb all sorts of information, from many different sources.

• Podcasts on your industry

• Blogs

• Music

• Video Games

• Competitors (or as I prefer fellow people you could collaborate with!)

And for the love of our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus, please look into people outside your industry. See what makes them successful and see how you could incorporate that into what it is that you do!

Don’t be afraid to experiment but also don’t be afraid to do what works for a solid foundation.

Until next time my good fellows!

Stay awesome!
