Is this from your personal experience programming one of these? I don't mean that as a criticism of your comment, I'm just curious if you have experience trying to put one of these games together. I'd really like to take my story (from real life, a bet I made with my college roommate for the summer that turned out to be amazing) and make it into one of these games, but I really don't know if I'd ever be able to myself. (I need someone who could take my writing and do the graphics.)It gets easier with better hardware, organization and a solid, steady workflow. Not veering of to unnecessary paths is also mandatory.
Somehow this dev only has 1 of those qualities (the first) after 3 years.
The renders did get a lot better, can't deny that though.
