What Kurt Vonnegut Can Tell You About Game Design
I agree with Lennon. Tabris, I think you missed the point of this article almost entirely.
Whether you selling your game are making them free for the indie-scene, you are still making these games for other people, and you are asking other people to devote time to your game. If that wasn't the goal, then why would anyone post their stuff here? True developers live on feedback, and their goal is to serve the public.
I agree with this article entirely. I'd rather play a short game that is concise and provides a memorable experience than a long game that I'll never touch again after beating it.
@Chaos: Heh, while it does sound "excessive" I think that can help in terms of replayability, and also giving the player more options. A good argument against this article is that sometimes those excessive features may actually help keep players hooked to your game.

lol @ your shameless plug.
I agree about avatar, but I still enjoyed it. Is it me or is James Cameron a douche? He basically told a fan who wanted his autograph to beat it, and now he responds to critique with "bite me".
