Chibi Heroes Part 1

A Month working on Chibi Heroes I realized a few of the statistics that programmers throws out from time to time are true!

Here's what I say:

Cause
The game consist of 10% design codes and 90% engine codes.
99.99% of the user will be entertained by the design codes.
0.1% of the user actually knows what is going under the hood.
90% of the development time is spent on developing the engine.
10% of the development time is spent on developing the design.
99.99% of the user thinks the design codes IS the game.

Effect
The users see the 10% of the work that goes into the game and thinks that is all there is to it. They think the game is easy to develop, and should've been developed much faster than the time it took. They either do not know or do not care about the 90% engine that is running under the hood. Believe me, if it took a month to design a car, it took a year to design the engine that runs that car.
