How big a deal is confidentiality in your business? Can you tell your family/friends like what games you're working on, or what games are in development, etc?

Like dan said, you have to sign NDA's. Generally I tell friends/family what I'm doing if they're not big gamers & internet people, I just don't want my retard little brother posting it on the net or something.
Once in a while you have things that you need to keep super-secret, like when you're trying to find a different publisher and you really don't want your original publisher knowing until they give you some more money.
Also when you're pitching games you want them to be totally secret until the publisher makes the first official announcement, so that it can be a big deal unveiling and surprise people & nobody else can get the jump on copying you.
