Think Big.

It needs to start with an incredible idea. Not just good, or different, but incredible. This will not only set you apart from the rest, but drives the momentum of the team to a common goal during hard times.

Make sure the timing is right: not working for another game company, finished your project & obligations to your teammates, have enough money to last through early development / prototyping etc...

Go All In.

Form a founding team, don’t go solo, that has a common passion and vision for making this incredible idea real. You will need the support of your family and close friends. Get used to working efficiently from home around the clock pretty much every day of the week without any salary.

Every time you hit a “wall” realize that the harder it is to solve, the less likely someone else is going to beat you to it :). Try to get through 20 or so of these and you will be in good shape.

Prepare for devoting lots of time to truly listening and understanding perspectives from your community as they may drastically help improve your game's experience.
