I was a freelance web designer and he was a PHP developer, and in our city, there were virtually no one in the game development space so we had a long way to go learning all kinds of stuff. So after about a year and a half with over 5 web games and a couple of iOS games released, we looked back and saw a few salient points that made an impression in our foray into game development;
