But is it fun?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/But is it fun?

I spose this is aimed more at people who earn money from games design but it'd be cool to hear from everyone.

How important would you say it is to actually enjoy playing a game you are designing? Do you ever design a game knowing that others will enjoy it, even if you dont? Maybe you just enjoy the actual process of making the game (I dunno, to see if you are able to do it maybe?)

I'm currently writing a report for my uni project and the only real rule I had during development was 'the game must be fun' but while it seems important to me, it'd be intersting to see what others think, ta!
