at the same time though, in terms of a lunch box, if you try to reinvent the wheel it doesn't make it better. No one should design something imo to look clever saying "oh I did this when everyone did that haha!". It makes more sense to me to start by looking at what works and do it better, not ignore what works because you don't want to follow commonality. Maybe someone made a lunchbox that is like a sphere or something "crazy cool" but it would be pretty shit i imagine.
Its always interesting to me when I see a product like a chair for example that is designed too be super cool looking but they didn't think about how practical it would be to actually sit in it for more than a minute. So i keep that mentality when I think about any product I see or make is "how practical is it".
I think in making a game for the booming portable phone market is deciding how interested you are in doing something that is really interesting to you and hoping some people like it or going where the money is and being able to be happy with that mentality. I conflict on what is a better route a lot of the time but I think its good to have a realistic goal in mind when you do something like this. Will you be happy if you sell 1000 copies of a game or will you say shit I just spent x amount of time and what do I have to show.
I'm not trying to do something different per se, I just want to make cool games, that I want to play(and hope other people want to also), so using my extensive knowledge of Retro gaming.
And I can totally agree with you there, when I work, i'm a practical designer, and make things really simple and usually pretty effective.
And I don't care how many games I sell, I could sell 10 copies and be happy, I just want to make games I love to play, and hopefully other people will love to play them also, if i make money and people like it, bonus, I can do it more
but i'm not going to force anything.
I appreciate the feedback m8
