Paper Prototyping For Work vs. Board Game Design For Fun

• Paper Prototyping For Work
• Pros
• Getting paid for doing what I love
• Having people immediately available to ask for help/advice
• Cabinet filled with game prototype materials (legal pads/pens/paper clips/etc)
• Nearby cafe for lunch breaks
• Cons
• Less control over project direction
• Frequent misunderstandings between current progress and full game design
• Working with a bunch of people (myself included at times) who want to jump ahead to programming the game before it's fully designed
• Meetings
• Board Game Design For Fun
• Pros
• Can watch TV while working
• Can bring my dog to work
• Full kitchen to cook my own food for lunch breaks
• Can work in my pajamas
• No deadlines or crunch time
• Cons
• Must pay for prototype components/scavenge other board games
• Have a dog to interrupt working
• A little too easy to become a full fledged hermit
