Art or program first? Or something else?

Which one do you tackle first when starting a project? Is there any plus/minus in starting with one subject?

I'm not really a 'programmer' myself and more into an 'artistic' person. So this kind of question always pops out whenever I want to start a new project.

What do you think?
Thank you!

Gotcha! Thank you for sharing!

I usually go through phases.

I either start programming or creating the art, depending on the genre.

Then after sometime i do the opposite : instead of programming, i do the art, and vice versa.

This kinda ensures that i dont lose interest.

I guess we should just have to bounce between work fields to keep the interest high. Thank you for sharing your workflow!

I work on both art and program at the same time. But I now try to start with a basic game idea (usually to get movement and basic design finished). then I work on adding the graphics and let the game play emerge with it. I take breaks to work on other stuff and then come back too.
