Howard's Game Development Rules
- Great games are played, not made.
- "You can have the greatest design document ever made, and you're going to change 90 percent of it as soon as you play the game."
- Keep it simple.
- "Doing something really well takes time, more time than you think it will. Simple systems acting together create complexity that players can appreciate."
- Define the experience.
