User blog:Poisonshot/FNAF Game Making tips

Just through I'd put some tips for us :p

Things to do

 * Get creative mechanics. If you're gonna include doors include something unique with them, for example.
 * Try introducing new characters and ideas from time to time! Don't just have Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy ect.
 * For your first game don't try making something too complicated. Do something simple with simple mechanics.
 * Make teasers mysterious.
 * Cameras aren't needed but they can be useful. Make original layouts if you're using them.

Things to NOT do

 * Make or release teasers every hour, day, ect. Wait at least a week before each teaser.
 * Don't head in an engine (ESPECIALLY Game Maker) thinking you'll do the game quickly. Get an engine you like and learn it starting with simple stuff.
 * Don't literally copy mechanics and characters. It's okay to borrow ideas - but don't steal them.
