Just thought I would recommend a really great blog for game design and development. It's made by a professional in the business, who made over $45,000 from his games in 2009. who has got some games on AG... But he never says who he is.
How to self sponsor How to polish games How to get maximum income from games How to hire an artist Ad Company Reviews How to turn a good game into a great game What are the top portals ( to get the max amount of plays )
And even a game grading scale, a really cool tool where you can compare what grade your game gets( A+ being very good for a professional ). My latest game got a D in the game grading scale, but I'm happy with that.
The blog isn't bad but most of it is common sense or what I perceive to be. The sponsor category has less information than the resources category which is confusing. Also he could of gotten into greater detail with in info, since it's pretty important. Some of the other info is useful, but I noticed that he hasn't updated in a long time and I think that he stopped tending to his blog. So it was a useful read but not a blog that is worth bookmarking since no updates and only a few entries.
