Finishing a game

A fantastic article about actually finishing a game by Derek Yu. Useful for any up-and-coming game developer.

Derek Yu created Spelunky which is one of my all time favorite games, which also makes him one of my favorite game developers.

There's a bunch of other high quality articles on his blog which I also advise you to check out. Some examples include his post mortem on Spelunky or his article about the design problems with Earthworm Jim.
