Lucky you. I tried to make a game with my (then-girlfriend, now-) wife and it kinda fizzled out. Sure, took on too much, I'm not the best with bringing projects to launch, but whatever.
I really can't say who spent more time (she did graphics, I wrote code) but to this day it's a bit of a sore point to talk about, just that we were both absolutely not happy with the outcome and see it as completely wasted time.
- mduerksen 7y agoThanks for the sobering counterpoint to my perfect formula for success :) A game is really a tough one though.
- keithnz 7y agoa game seems less about solving a problem though. Educational games can semi help with solving the problem of learning specific topics, but often hard to pull off well.
- sosuke 7y agoI'm sure you've tried but you might want to try and find another perspective. I did a similar joint project with my wife. At more than one point we butt heads. It was pretty tense to say the least I don't want to embellish. On the other hand we did create something and learned much about each other along the way. If you finished something that is a success.
- wink 7y agoI'm not saying it can't be a positive experience, just telling a story how it absolutely wasn't in this case. We've got a ton of those stories, but creating a piece of software is probably not on the table in the next 1-2 decades. :)
- machinesbuddy 7y agoMy wife and I also started making a game. Though the game didn't go far, I ended up learning new technologies specifically for the game to be scalable that landed me a nice job in another country.
