If you don't then you may be patching in the fun in beta as well since you will be scrapping 2 years of work and basically starting over after you reached alpha and create a half ass game in 10 months with a completely rewritten game engine, all the while neglecting all polish and other much needed phases of the game because your basic idea sucked and you didnt have the sac to man up and admit you were wrong.
I do trust you though because that game should be a shining beacon of what not to do, not only with management but with design decisions as well. |
Your scenario would mean I would be telling these people, the experts, what to do. Not going to happen. I have a vision, have always had it, but I am by no means the smartest guy in the room around here.
These people are incredibly talented for a variety of reasons, my job is create the environment that allows them to do incredible things.
While there are things I want and like, they don't differ from these guys in many places because at the end of the day we are all gamers.
