comment How to deal with (bad?) player suggestions
"And with every suggestion, try to look beyond the specific idea" - +1 for this part.

comment Is C++ necessary to learn if I ever want to get a job in the game industry?
Err, no, it isn't. You need a bit of both, or course, but learning languages is more important than having projects. And no, just because you know C# doesn't mean that you know C++. And if it was easy you'd regularly see people who know 6+ languages.

Great advice, +1. Although I honestly think that learning new languages is very important as well.

comment Basic developing in python?
Oh boy another prime example of research effort and originality fused together into a very constructive game development question! This totally hasn't been answered one billion times already, and definitely doesn't lie just a few queries away from your favorite search engine!

comment Will polishing my current project be a better learning experience than starting a new one?
None of my games are neither complete nor polished. :) And that's true for a lot of professionally made games as well. Also, formal completeness != fully complete, polished game. It's usually due to management and tight schedules that development has to be sped up... This is second hand knowledge, although pretty much every professional game developer I've listened to confirmed it (and again, except Valve, because of their structure).

comment It's possible to release a communist 1st person shooter in USA?
If it is fictional then it should be legal. Especially if you main channel of distribution is the Internet. Then, how could they even stop you?

You said that the most important skill to have in game development is shipping a complete, polished game. I just observed how no one seems to have that skill, as no one is shipping complete and polished games. "Art is never finished, only abandoned.", you know the quote, and it's true.

comment How does Unity use C# as a scripting language?
But JavaScript is compiled before being executed 99% of the time, and some Python implementations too. C(++) can be interpreted. I think that the terminology is flawed, as you're not talking about a property of the language, but the way you use it. But it seems that's not really important for the question...

I am yet to play a complete, polished game. Are you saying that all game developers that work for publicly traded corporations unskilled because of management pressure?
