[casual_games] The Making of Casual Games

[Dora Cheng]

Hey Everyone!

My first post to the list... Been a very lively discussion so far and
I'm just wondering about what you all think about the actual making of
casual games:

How is making a casual game different from making those that are of a
much bigger scale, like World of Warcraft, CS, Zelda, Halo, and
countless others? What are some of the unique challenges in making a
casual game? How would the design, planning, scheduling, budgeting,
development, testing, marketing, etc. be different?

Looking forward to your comments!

Cheers,
Dora
