What you wrote is really massif! All things you wrote are valid and interesting. As for the "ONE STEP AT A TIME" paragraph, I can tell you that I already follow the instructions you have given and I do not have stability problems (in my program). Instead, as you say in the paragraph "KEEP IT MOVING", I have to be careful not to incur problems of MENTAL STABILITY! I did not know that many developers (you say almost all) are perfectionists and tend to write and rewrite their code to enhance their performance to the detriment of the set of things related to the creation of a video game. I do not lose sight of the set of things to do; I just write some notes (on my PC) and if I can not do it immediately I will do later, but I lose a lot of time in the optimization. Sincere congratulations!

I'm glad you can relate to what I'm saying here! Notes are a great way to organize your thoughts and clear your head sometimes. I pull up my notes almost every day and brainstorm some hypothetical feature. Then I am able to plan out what is necessary and what needs to wait until later. It's easy to come up with ideas, but it takes a mature developer to approach them in a logical order. Thanks for the reply!
Thank you. I saw that you are interested in knowing what each of us programmers is developing now; so I can tell you that I'm working on a video game a bit critical and contestable, at least here in Italy. In fact, the Italian State has had large profits from the monopolized state sale of the so-called "scratch cards". It is a game that involves many people to the point of becoming a dangerous mania: many spend much money to scratch these tickets and find the winning numbers, becoming poor. So I chose one and I'm developing a harmless video-game, without internet, which makes you realize how much money you can really win with the real one and how much money you lose!
