Dawn of Play interview

If you think you have a really great idea for a game, don’t keep it to yourself, but show it to everyone you know. Get it out there, with all the tools that you have at your fingertips these days – that is the only way you will be able to know how great it really is - and in a short time. No one is going to steal your idea, you will only learn how to refine and perfect it. Or drop it before it’s too late, so you can move on to your next awesome and better idea faster.
