There was a GameDev Lounge before but I'm not sure what happened to it (probably degenerated into discussing Minecraft clones and locked). So here's a new one! In order to keep this GD Lounge from ending up like the last one I have a request:
Don't be the "idea guy"
"Idea guys" are like the guys who make Pokemon splices or edit Megaman sprites. That means nobody wants to hear about your "Legend of Angry Pokemoncraft Bros. 2 Deluxe: Kirby's Revenge" game idea. If you want to be taken seriously then take game design and development seriously.
That said, I've been playing 5th Cell's iPhone game, Run Roo Run. It's a single-button game but it's actually really fun if not infuriating. It got me thinking about how one could make a game so simple so enjoyable.
