Nice post. I agree, finishing is the most important step if you’re still learning to make games (like me.) You can then use the motivation you get from completing the game to drive you on and improve it. It’s hard to find motivation in a half-finished “masterpiece” to keep you going.

Thanks for sharing your insight.

To put it another way… When time is of the essence, we set out priorities like this: getting a working game has precedence over quality.

But when we have time to kill, we do the opposite, and prioritise for quality. But that’s a process that doesn’t necessarily terminate, and the game might never sees the light of day!
