My honest thought on Smash Bros Project

[Bane84]

As a programmer (used to do some game related programming on the side in my free time), I have to say that I agree with the statements made. There are a number of factors that I can see as to why most projects end up in development hell:

• Lack of motivation.
  
• Lost of interest.
  
• Trying to achieve too huge of a goal immediately without starting with smaller steps and building up.
  
• Too small of a team, or having the existing team all over the place without a single focus.
  
• Sprites are much more "expensive" than 3D models.
  
• Lack of urgency to meet a set deadline.
  
• No profit to be gained?
  

There's probably more reasons than those listed here, but these are the ones I recognize as a programmer.
