I was a generally horrible student and have a very poor educational record, but with passion and googling (which always brought me to stackoverflow/msdn) I gained the skills that got me a job at a very nice company.

All you need is yourself and an internet connection (and free time which to be fair, is hard, but its something you can't not do with your free time if the passion is there)

Do you think developing a game with WebGL and HTML5 is something you'd consider 'easier', with it's ease of testing, reloading, etc. or if the overhead of a browser too much sometimes?

I've always wanted to make a game, and even though I'm proficient with C++, it's... It just seems like altogether far too much.

Also I've always been curious about the programming to design phase (did you use a lot of "programmer art", placeholders and whatnot while you were looking for an artist, or were they with you from the beginning)
