Скачать или смотреть I Can't Believe I Do This For A Living: The Generalist Game Designer - Tim Stobo

Delivered as part of the AltDev Student Summit November 10/11 2012

Development at KMMIP is built around the concept of game designers as 'vision holders'. They work across disciplines within the team and act as evangelists for the game. All designers are generalists, tasked with level and systems design and individually responsible for multiple hours of game content.

In his first job working as a designer on L.A. Noire, Tim's responsibilities grew throughout the development process. The different decisions and skills required on any single day gave Tim a unique insight into AAA development and the many aspects that make up the craft of game design. In this talk, Tim looks at a day in the life of a generalist game designer, without a technical background, working in the AAA space.
