What are some of the things that a noob game designer doesn even think of?
I am glad to see that you are reading this question. It is good to see that you realize you don’t know what you don’t know. A couple of tidbits of advice: If you want to do a decent game take the time to write it out on paper. Draw the pictures and write out the plot. Draw the maps. The more you do on paper the better your game will actually come out. Making video games is a process. You are never done learning. Even the very best know this. Enjoy doing it and realize that every day you learned something. One last thing: Pay attention to the little things; They make all the difference. Getting the textures and the lighting right can make the difference between a terrible game and a great game.
