Learning how to prototype a game is a skill. I've prototyped hundreds of games over 30 years for work and pleasure. Seeing the potential is genuinely hard but it IS a skill you can learn.

Understanding that the general public should not and indeed cannot be expected to see the potential is also a hard lesson. Games like VVVVVV are unicorns. Never bet on being a unicorn.
