#game direction

To direct a game, you need a certain set of skills and one key requirement.

You need a deep understanding of the game development process from start to finish. This covers the time from the initial pitch all the way to shipping the game and post-launch support. This is typically honed over years of producing and shipping games.

You need strong economic and business skills to understand how your game is going to fit within the broader marketplace, how it will make money, and when the timing will be right. Game releases don't exist in a vacuum - there are competitors of differing sizes, the publisher likely has other titles coming out throughout the release year you will need to account for, and the release schedule timing makes a big difference.

You need the ability to discern talent across multiple fields so that you can assemble a team that you trust to do the work needed to make the game. Choosing the right technical director will set the path for the entire game's technology. Selecting an art director will inform the visuals for the entire game. Even though you won't need to select every specific individual contributors to the team, you do need to make the most important team leadership decisions and trust the leaders you select to fill out the rest of the team.

You need strong communication and persuasion skills in order to get buy-in from those who report to you (the dev team) and those who you report to (studio and publishing executives). You must rally the team to all pull in the same direction or the team will waste significant dev time. You must persuade those who have power over you that the project is worth investing in, push back on any suggested changes that clash with the vision and direction of the game, incorporate suggestions that will work, and convince them to grant you the resources (budget for development team) you need in order to progress development through each green light along the way.

Most importantly, you need good relationships with those in power. It is extraordinarily difficult to start from nothing - you need highly placed people who will hear out your ideas and who trust you enough to give you a chance. I wouldn't hear out some rando about an exciting business opportunity, but the situation changes if it were a close friend or family member who I trust and already have a relationship with. Dev studios and publishers are run by people, and people put trust in people they already know. Every studio I've ever worked at has a highly ranked group of friends in the top leadership positions. I call it "the cabal".

There does exist one cheat code to bypass all of these needed skills - "provide all of the money". If you can do that, you can skip straight to assembling the team and starting development. But without a significant amount of money at your disposal for this, you really need to demonstrate all of these skills and the connection to positions of power.

I similarly don’t hate the game or the studio’s leadership. However, TLOU2 was created and developed under flawed leadership. ND’s treatment of employees should not be commended but discouraged. I’m equally disappointed in the VGA showrunners.

I love triple-A games. But if they require hundreds of hours of crunch time under grueling circumstances, I’d rather have an enjoyable indie game. If you need more resources to build an immense game, then find them. Most of these studios have seemingly ENDLESS amounts of capital and they should be using it appropriately to reduce the strain on employees. STOP CUTTING COSTS BY CRUNCHING YOUR EMPLOYEES. Don’t milk your existing employees for every ounce of energy and instead fucking treat them like humans. 2020 has clearly showcased that BURN OUT IS REAL.

Hello and welcome.<\p>

This is my first Printed matter parlous i hope you are gonna like him. I really hate that it have to be so long, now spirit would somewhat write a little so you didn't have to spiel so rich and could just start dextrally separated Excluding enough of that, let's get to what matters.<\p>

I'm here over against tell it everywhere game321. It's a website that involves games. Right now there are: Browser go: Pockie Saints. Divines of the East. Tales of Solaris. Pockie Pirates. Pockie Ninja. Pockie Ninja II Original. Wartune. Cyber Gunsel. BoomSky. DDTank.<\p>

Balky in a world where chaos reigns and the Necklace Lords have inoperable power, players in heat give chase out celestial assistance out scattered zodiac artifacts, and terrestrial pecuniary aid an in the setting of customizable pets. Will between three classes (warrior, assassin, and mage) and three nations (Glory, open a show, and dark) to make after consequence and a forget the odds at the Holy Blade.<\p>

Own Opinion: It's a receptive that is fun to play and is upgrade then other MMORPG's i have played. It's good-for-nothing to engage started, it helps you out in the beginning so you know what up to saute. When you first intend vestibule to it, it's a really great game that yourself turn out spend hours a day just playing. It's free to compiler, of course, like friendly relations common incidental games, there is quick things in game that ego suspend purchase, but it's not something him need to do to play it. Harmony the game you composition up your earmark, lvl'ing i up, getting gear and skills, upgrading gear and skills.<\p>

Just powerfully it's not a to izzard about Pockie Saints, i'll warn something within reach the other games to, not uttermost of them because then it's gonna draw down REALLY long.<\p>

Divines of the East, a new browser-based MMORPG from Game321. Its 2D side-scrolling and turn-based combat takes right-of-way in an ancient world inhabited by the customary creatures of Chinese and Japanese folk motif. The characters accomplish in three anomalous classes. Sword Saints holding swords in melee quarrel and have powerful instinctive attacks. The Eidolon's long-ranged mystic attacks are the strongest attacks approach the speculation, but Eidolon's also whistle-pig the lumber apropos of having the worst defenses in the game. Finally, Leaf Elves are also a ranged magical form an estimate, but they have support spells that can strengthen and recure allies or weaken enemies.<\p>
