Make the whole game first, release it without proper testing. Allocate a tiny fraction of the net profits to fixing 10% of the problems. Tell the users, they're playing it wrong and if sales plummet, blame the 'wokerati' for review bombing it and shut of the servers. Otherwise known as the EA/Ubisoft model.

And sell it as DLC. This is known as the Bethesda model.

But making the whole game includes making the first level.

Sure except where they say the part about making the whole game first and then making the first level is still correct and you are actually making an argument from ignorance order to attempt to be pedantic.
The whole game is done, and then the first level is created is one way to read that. Which them makes the statement just true on the face.
The other way to understand the meaning is that the words except for the first level are implied, but require you have above a 5th grade reading level.

This is like writing, tiny octopus thinks. You don't edit when you write. You get the entire story finished.
Then you go back to page one and begin to edit it so it's a complete story. Because if you try to edit as you write, you're never going to get the first chapter done.

The meaning of this is that the overall experience changes over the course of development. By crafting (or at least revising) the first level last, you can fine-tune it to lay the foundations for ideas and features to come later.
Grumptious
Yes. I know. But that's not what he wrote. The point of my comment was that there is a discrepancy between what he wrote and what he likely meant. You know, bad writing. It was not a request for someone to explain what he likely meant.

Ah I see

You seem like an exceedingly grumpy soul.
