-<p>In this article, we discuss how ideal video game and video game development
+<p>It was a year of reimagining and rethinking. As some of you may remember, we started this project to make a game development tool. During the years, the idea evolved from one form to another, sometimes the changes were significant, other times we threw away all the code and started anew.</p>
-tool look like, in our opinion.</p>
+<p>As a result of all these changes, we came to the end of the year 2018 without a tool, but with a clear understanding of what tool are we making.</p>
-<p><strong>Questions</strong></p>
+<p>There are plenty of fine game development tools out there. Some of them are even open source. We spent plenty of time trying them, and some are quite good.</p>
-<p>As you know, the <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/pages/about.html">goals of Opensource Game Studio</a> are:</p>
+<p>We can't, and we don't want to compete with them. Our targets are maximal accessibility and simplicity. Our goal is to make a tool suitable for teaching children, but powerful enough to be used for prototyping. To use any powerful development tool, you need a PC or a laptop. We want to make the toolset, that can be used anywhere. We already made some steps in this direction, and we will continue this course.</p>
-<ul>
+<p>So, we're beginning a new year without precise plans, but with clear knowledge of our goal instead. Let's wait and see if this approach works better.</p>

-<li>making video games with those tools</li>
-<li>preparing video game development tutorials</li>
-</ul>
-<p>This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>What is an ideal video game?</li>
-<li>What is an ideal video game development tool?</li>
-</ul>
-<p>The best answers we could think of are below.</p>
-<p><strong>Answer 1: A video game is ideal if it delivers maximum pleasure possible</strong></p>
-<p>While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested
-into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content.
-There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>insufficient accessibility: the game does not run on your hardware</li>
-<li>insufficient optimization: the game is slow</li>
-<li>critical bugs: the game crashes from time to time</li>
-</ul>
-<p>We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere.
-That's why we released
-<a href="http://opengamestudio.org/mahjong-demo2.html">the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2</a> only for
-the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere.</p>
-<p><strong>Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible</strong></p>
-<p>Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through
-<a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-guide">guides</a> and <a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples">tutorials</a>, we understand that those take a lot
-of time to study. One can't possibly make even a simple video game like
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)">Memory</a> without performing the following steps:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>configure the development environment</li>
-<li>write code</li>
-<li>build an application</li>
-<li>debug the application</li>
-<li>repeat <code>write-build-debug</code> steps as many times as necessary</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Writing code and debugging are probably the ultimate forms of input and output
-of any software, so we can't escape those. However, there are ways to
-completely remove (or at least significantly decrease) the need for
-<code>development environment setup</code> and <code>build</code> steps. And this is what we are
-going to do in the coming months.</p>
-<p>Our goal for the coming months is to create a video game development tool that
-would allow any programmer (or sufficiently skilled person) to create the
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)">Memory</a> video game from scratch in an hour.</p>
-<p>That's it for discussing how ideal video game and video game development tool
-look like, in our opinion.</p><p class="subheader">Category: <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/category/news.html">News</a>
