Polishing an Indie Game

Taken from Indie Polish: Making the Most of the Last 10%

• squash and stretch in animation
• voice over - getting a voice over actor
• colour ⇒ get an understanding of colour theory!

Sometimes it's best to know when not to polish.

The best way to make something polished is to not make it unpolished.

A possible polish list

• field of view
• in game control binding
• in game settings for graphics
• windowed / full screen
• ui scaling
• mouse controls on menus
• raw mouse input v. averaged mouse input
• splash screens
• tutorial information
• credits
