Thought it worth mentioning that the Scars of War team is now up to two (2) artists! Woot. This '˜not doing everything myself' concept is getting more and more appealing, the older and less stupid I get, I'm telling you. You laugh, but one of the downsides to having a positive, '˜I can do anything I put my mind to' attitudes is a belief that you can just '˜step in' to any roles you're missing in a game dev team.

I've come to realize that, regardless of whether I could actually learn any/all of the various disciplines' skills, the time required to do so and do it well is just.unfeasible (Yes, ok, that's probably pretty obvious to most of you, shutit). Doing art, I'm not coding. Coding, I'm not writing/designing adventures. Writing, I'm not interacting with the community (posting on forums/blogging).

I've always been loath to rely on others (I've seen indie teams fall apart time and time again because key members get tired, bored or have kids or something), and I've never been fond of admin/managing people, but I've been steadily increasing my efforts to seek out collaborators.
