To prototype or to not prototype?

There are some great resources on the internet on prototyping, I’d recommend @noel_llopis article on his website http://gamesfromwithin.com/prototyping-youre-probably-doing-it-wrong and the Game Developer Convention presentation from @checker and @cgingold http://chrishecker.com/Advanced_Prototyping.

After listening and reading both the question I have first and foremost is simply, can I ship? Can I get home from work and sit down and make something, make something hopefully interesting to someone and get it through certification. I’m thinking this will be more akin to a personal game jam where I can have fun making something and seeing where it goes.
