Go For It

As an independent game developer, you owe nothing to anyone except yourself and your family. That being the case, there is an important and sometimes underrecognized imperative for every independent game developer: Have fun!

Given that you've picked up this book, you probably already have some ideas rattling around inside your head, and you've been thinking about making them happen. Armed with the tools and knowledge from this book, you can afford to try them out without being afraid of wasting years of your life finding out that an idea didn't work.

Now you can "waste" a few weeks finding out that an idea doesn't work, and then spend a few more weeks to refine it, some more weeks to tweak it, a few months to build on it, and finally, come up with something that might really fly.

Well, we are at the end of our journey. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. I think the key thing to come away with is this: Believe in yourself.
