Clarifying the creative flow In response to a business opportunity, the creative vision describes a player experience to inform the work of all disciplines in a top-down fashion. Each discipline must then propose technical solutions to deliver and reinforce the player experience, meeting the vision in a bottom-up way. Design is similar to other disciplines and should be evaluated by how it delivers on the intended player experience, making its management easier. • Domains of Expertise • Creative vision development • Design methodologies • AAA/Core market knowledge • Team structuring • Coaching and mentoring • Building game pitches
Differentmission types • Evaluate • A quick evaluation of, for example, a game, a pitch, a team structure or design practices, to identify strengths and weaknesses and determine next steps • One or two weeks on site, plus one week off-site to draft the report • Support • A mid-term mission, helping a team to accomplish a specific goal like developing a given game system, coaching and establishing a creative dynamic, building a prototype ... • One or two weeks on site each month, with optional off-site follow-up • Create • A content creation mission like a market segment study, a game pitch, creative vision development ... • Timing and modalities would be largely dependent on the mission goals
