The real answer to no. Your working on a new project. . . . . I worked at a night club on Universal City Walk in Hollywood called Wizardz and occasionally performed at the famous Magic Castle. Being a magician taught me some things that are incredibly valuable as a game developer. In performing magic, I had to challenge my audience but at the same time entertain them.
Games are the same way.
We trick and fool our players. We lead players along then set them up for a surprise. We challenge minds. But, we always must entertain. As a close-up magician, the feedback was instantaneous so working with hundreds of spectators a day forced me to consider what different types of people were thinking when I was trying to lead them along a line of logic that I was about to break for them.
