Ask HN: What kind of games are fun to make?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4919267It seems like gamers have very strongly held opinions on what is and isn't fun to play, but what about approaching the topic from the other end?
I personally enjoy playing RPGs, but designing and programming a good RPG is time consuming and difficult, it can be rewarding, but you have to do a lot before that becomes true. On the other hand, I've enjoyed making simple dice games, but I don't really see myself enjoying them or having fun.
So to any game developers, amateur, hobbyist or otherwise: what kind of games do you enjoy making?
