So here's a question game designers - do you have a personal "game design rule" (technique, rule of thumb, etc) that you can sum up in exactly one Tweet?

@RichardRouseIII When designing AI, start with on screen outcomes of decisions. No reason to make the internal processing more complicated than the possible outcomes as players won't notice.

@RichardRouseIII Keep notes of why you cut things. Some number of months in the future it'll sound like a good idea again. Make sure the reason you cut it in the first place isn't still valid.

@wkerslake @RichardRouseIII Adding to this, though not straight design, but useful for building(in my case, implementing audio): use absurd placeholders to make sure your cues are being triggered as expected. A missing kazoo is much easier to notice, than a missing rustling of leaves.
