I just love the fact that this guy shares everything on those forums.

I remember seeing early parts of his work on papers please and there is something wonderful about sharing your process and exposing it to feedback.

I feel like you have to have an audience of sorts while you work, else it's like screaming into the void.

But that'd be sort of a chicken and egg problem, right? You can't build an audience unless you're willing to scream into the void :)

Tigsource is a treasure trove of information and design docs. Lots of famous games were hatched there (spelunky and dead cells to name a few).

Minecraft's origin WIP thread, too!
