[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 8314850, member: 16586"] Here's my general experience based on both my personal life (former soldier, combat sports athlete (football, wrestling, muay thai, jiujistu) , engineer, theater geek) and my own hard fought experiences trying to run character driven games that are not group oriented or adventure focused using both traditional games and indie games. If you want to do something that is hard to do mindset is everything. It's not enough to have the desire to do it. You need motivation, intention, and discipline. Hard stuff generally does not just happen on it's own. Technique matters. Process matters. You can design or come up with a process for a game that lacks it or alter the existing procedures, but to consistently achieve something that is hard to do you need to get your mind right and have some sort of disciplined process in place. You also do need to be fairly adaptable. Sometimes you still fail, but consistent results require a consistent approach. [/QUOTE]
