So you're still doing your schtick.<BR/><BR/>And the hilarious part is, the only reason this blog seems to exist is not as an actual blog but to repeat your ramblings from somewher else "before they get deleted"... which really just means you want somewhere to put them where people with more knowledge and experience than you can't tell you exactly how and where you fail.<BR/><BR/>Sure, you're a Game Designer.

Assumptions that you haven't tested.<BR/><BR/>First, "Civilization" was made by Sid Meier in exactly an auteur manner. (http://tinyurl.com/5wlsar)<BR/><BR/>Second, the auteur method is almost never used in game development.<BR/><BR/>Third, any good auteur works collaboratively. Truffaut, Hitchcock, whomever. They aren't tyrants - they're just leaders.<BR/><BR/>But last, even if he works collaboratively a good auteur isn't a masochist. If he knows he has talent but he is being ripped off or suppressed that things are plain wrong in the system.<BR/><BR/>So your statement declaring that the auteur leads to "pretty bogus designs" seems pretty baseless.Grassroots Gamemaster,https://www.blogger.com/profile/06222812421052643632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185264187636071069.post-31025272904313925582008-11-25T14:24:00.000-06:002008-11-25T14:24:00.000-06:00I'm pretty sure he is referencing autuer as the su...I'm pretty sure he is referencing autuer as the subject of "The Autuer theory", that is to say, a theoretical single person from where the essential quality of the art comes from.<BR/><BR/>There have been three major historical circumstances where a single person has so much power that they could lay claim to being an "autuer" - When the production of the art is cheap (Painting, the beginning of most art forms), the designer is able to generate substantial hype, or the person is either the person with the money or related to them. <BR/><BR/>As the first case rarely ever comes up in commercial gameplay development, "autuers" are usually associated with the second or third case, which usually leads to pretty bogus designs.<BR/><BR/>In any case, "The Autuer theory" is essentially antithetical to accepting feedback during production - if such feedback was valuable, someone besides te main creative force would be given *some* kind of authority in the creative vision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185264187636071069.post-22520527326839242012008-10-18T10:09:00.000-06:002008-10-18T10:09:00.000-06:00I'm a game designer.I'm a game designer.Grassroots Gamemaster,https://www.blogger.com/profile/06222812421052643632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185264187636071069.post-20454840077330276742008-10-17T09:40:00.000-06:002008-10-17T09:40:00.000-06:00Are you actually a game developer or a guy who sit...Are you actually a game developer or a guy who sits in his bedroom writing a blog?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185264187636071069.post-61271740679254179692008-09-17T21:02:00.000-06:002008-09-17T21:02:00.000-06:00Doesn't he have his own message board over there?Doesn't he have his own message board over there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
