Ok so let's turn this into a little Friday #indiegamedev business thread!
How I pick my next game project: first I pick an interesting genre, setting, feeling, vibe, mechanic that I want to explore. We all have many ideas, so pick the one that keeps occupying your brain
I then give myself 2-4 weeks time to build a prototype with that core idea up and running, so that I can figure out if it really works and if I can get enough ideas going to turn it into something more.
It's either: yes, this is something, or NO, move on to another idea
