I do have "The Indie Game Development Survival Guide" on my list of books to read. It's probably the next one I'll tackle, though I'm in the middle of one right at the moment. I follow Steve Pavlina's pretty regularly myself and I'm a big fan. I've not forgotten marketing, it's just not on the project plan. The project plan is really focusing on the development process. In fact, this site itself is really the start of my marketing effort. Thanks again, Brian. Brian,

It's a great book that covers most, if not all, aspects of microISV game development. One part of your project plan that you don't show and I hope you haven't forgotten is the marketing. From all the other microISV and small business blogs I've read (especially Steve Pavlina's), marketing will be the key to your success.

I recently reviewed what I had and noticed a trend: all were based on my past experience playing games. The listing included “cool features” from games on various platforms, but none of the ideas were distinctly Mac. They could all be implemented on other platorms or consoles. Not that this is necessarily bad, but the reason I want to make Mac games is because I like the Mac platform. I like to work inside the distinctly Mac environment.
