At iD Tech 365, we have friends all over the gaming industry and now you have a chance to ask them your questions about their awesome careers!  This time around we will be focusing on independent Flash game designers, meaning someone who make Flash games for a living, on an independent basis (not part of a big company).  By the way, the designers who you'll be interviewing have made games that appear in the '365 Arcade!

 

Just post your questions in this thread, and once we have a sufficient amount, I'll send them to the game designers.  They will choose a selection of the questions to answer.  Have fun, be inquisitive and try not to get too personal (they won't tell you their salaries wink)!

How long does it take to come up with a good idea? After you have the idea, how long does it take to create the game?
