Test your basic idea first!

One-hour prototypes help if you are trying to tackle new or unfamiliar mechanics.

The prototype doesn’t need to be greatly coded, or have great assets, etc. It just needs to test the basis of your game.

If you fail fast, you still have plenty of time to try other ideas.

Don’t be afraid of failure. Try to extract as much insight from a failure as you can.
