On Building Ships

A the risk of sounding a little cheesy, here's a brief mini-post to share a quote from Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea."

I think this is a great project management philosophy that's pretty relevant to building games. I'm also reminded briefly of those whiny sailors in Black & White that I had to throw into the ocean.

That's all.

It's true. Feeling proud, inspired, and excited about the project one is working on is an amazingly good motivator. Loss or lack of those things is a killer.
