4. Additional Points * Work-life balance:
How do you follow your passion after work hours, and still make time for family obligations? Get your loved ones involved! I spend time with my family during concept/design/development/testing phases of my XNA projects, which is also great for getting early feedback.
I also created an HTML/jQuery level editor which lets anyone design levels through a web GUI on a computer or tablet/smartphone.
* User feedback:
Instead of just relying on anonymous user ratings from Excella clients, we also get 1-on-1 feedback and hear about our clients' frustrations. This not only spreads goodwill, it also allows us to improve our software over time, and maybe even convert a partially satisfied customer into a more satisfied customer!
