Topic: Collaborations / For the 'idea' people

idea’s are the most important part of a game, no idea’s= no game, if features, story, items and all art assets aren’t ideas, then what is?

Topic: Collaborations / My game idea: Guns n' blades (WIP of title)

Kingjelly52, i am talking about real console games, making them is completely different from making flash games, in order to make a console game you need a lot more people and a lot more time, we have teams of well over 30 people working on most games, no i don’t have any games on here because i am a games designer, i haven’t made flash games because i work on much larger console games for an actual company, i have that experience and that is what i am talking about, as i said in my last comment, there are different designers working on one game, at any one time there are around 5-10 designers creating different aspects of the game, then there is a team of about 15 programmers coding the game and then the artists and animators, then the sound tech, in the games industry the designers are responsible for huge areas of designing a game but the programmers work on coding in large teams and share the workload, that why its a harder job to be a games designer, each designer is responsible for designing certain areas, i work on 50% and the other designer design the smaller aspect all doing about 5% of the work to design the game, but each programmer works on about 7% of the coding, so their workload is much smaller.

plus the designer job is by far the hardest, we have to create a whole idea, story, dialogue, features, intro videos, camera angles.

Artists have a hard job, they have to draw out ideas, programmers basically write long lines of code that are learned early and just retyped alot, most of the game is already created using a premade game engine.

So as you can see designer have to use alot of creativity and have to create everything about a game, in the games industry, the designers are the integral people as without the designers there are no games for the programmers and artists to make.

i have to say the idea of a games designer seems to be getting confused, depending on what type of designer they are, i am a games designer, i design the story, features, well everything about the game is designed by me and put on paper for a team of artists and programmers to bring to life, i dont create levels as that is the level designers job, and a UI designer makes the UI etc.

There are several types of designers each there for a different part of the game, several designer work on one game to design all aspects of the game then the programmers and artists actually create those ideas in the game world, the difference between a flash games designer and a professional games designer is huge, if you put a flash games designer into a real developers team (console games) they would understand a thing about it and would get lost because they wouldn’t understand the process.

I just wanted to clear that up, i used to work on flash games and decided to get into the games industry and create console games, i found out very fast that the difference was huge and there was ALOT more involved in creating real full console games, plus its a hard job to do and it can get complicated.

Topic: General Gaming / Betatesters needed

hey why dont you just remove anything COD related and get creative, they cant sue you if the game is nothing like COD, simple as that.

Topic: General Gaming / Bubble Tanks Tower Defense 1.5

or to enjoy the game, dont take the easy way out and use different towers and layouts, its a strategy game and i enjoy trying different strategies on each level, it opens the game up and makes it more fun.

Topic: Kongregate / Lack of new badges!

ah ok didnt see that one, but badges arent added everyday like they used to be.

Topic: Kongregate / Lack of new badges!

I am mainly wondering what going on with the badges.

Up to afew months ago new badges were being added daily, but recently there arent many being added, weekly if we are lucky.

I am a badge collector and like new challenges but with no new badges and alot that take awhile to do, i am getting bored, we need more badges, more often, cmon kong keep up the good work like before and get more badges.
