## What Can You Cut?
When you have an idea for a game, ask yourself what you can cut from it while still maintaining the core essence of it. Don’t dwell on adding a bunch of complex systems. Focus on the fun and how you can subtract to bring the fun forward. Arcade games do a great job of making short, repayable, minimal experiences.

## Finish Your Games
When making your small games, finish them! Finishing what you start is so important. Having a bunch of unreleased prototypes isn’t fun for anyone. It’s okay to share works in progress and tiny games. Finish what you make and release it. Shipping games is a muscle and different skillset than building the game. The more practice you get, the better you'll be at finishing your games.

Game jams are constrained events where people make games within a certain time frame, sometimes with specific rules. They're a great way to start and finish a game in a short period of time. You can experiment and take risks and connect with the community of your fellow participants. I can't recommend them enough. Try to do at least one jam a year (or more if your heart desires).
[Itch has a directory of jams](https://itch.io/jams) and [Ludum Dare](https://ludumdare.com/) is a well known jam that happens multiple times every year with many participants.
