Advice to students making games?
I’m helping out with a student game-programming competition at the moment - Dare 2 Be Digital - and we’ve just had a day of judging pitches from teams, trying to decide which ones to allow into the full competition. During the pitch process, a few pieces of recurring advice came to mind. We were allowed to advise, but since the day was mostly about deciding who to let through to the next round, there was very little time left over to give each team any specific comments (we had to focus instead on asking searching questions :)). For those that get through to the next round, they’ll get properly and intensively mentored, so it should be fine but I thought I’d throw my thoughts up here (and maybe some readers will want to add to them?)
