Jason Weesner's Blog

Jason Weesner aka Weezie or Weez or Wees. I am a small, humbled traveler slowly making my way across the landscape of video game development. I seek neither fame nor fortune, but merely the chance to express myself creatively in the company of giants. I believe that "experience" is not analogous to "expertise". It's merely experience; something to grow with and share with others. I don't pretend that I have seen it all or done it all. Anyone who does make such outlandish claims should be met with the same amount of suspicion as somebody who claims to be the smartest or fastest person on the planet.

There is a huge gap well chasm between the marketing of a game hype, half-truths, and hullabaloo and the reality of a game what the finished product delivers as an experience to the player both objectively and subjectively . It seems more than a little premature to make the jump ...

At the risk of burning bridges, it would be worth it to call out these individuals if not by name, at least by position and more details of their actions. There are some important lessons to be learned from such a apparently fundamental failure that would be of great benefit ...

@Alexandre - just being viewed as a guy that has game ideas seems like a very limited view of what a designer actually does because good design is definitely a demonstrable skill much like bad design . I 've never worked with an ODG, but, by your definition, this seems ...
