The Serious Art of Designing Fun

This might be a nice time to give a shout-out to Owen Goss of Streaming Colours Studio. Owen is a games industry veteran who's presently developing his first indie title and is documenting his experience through a blog. In fact, it was his development blog that inspired me to start up my own blog.

If you're deeply interested in developing a game commercially as an indie developer, I'd encourage you to do so. He updates the site on an every day basis (for the most part) and his insight into into the both the design and development side is very instructive.
