The Door Problem

[Thrik]

lol.  The breakdown of how all the different industry roles see things is great.
 

“So what does a game designer do? Are you an artist? Do you design characters and write the story? Or no, wait, you’re a programmer?”

Game design is one of those nebulous terms to people outside the game industry that’s about as clear as the “astrophysicist” job title is to me. It’s also my job, so I find myself explaining what game design means to a lot of people from different backgrounds, some of whom don’t know anything about games.

Yeah that's been making the rounds. Only a game dev (and a good experienced one at that) could have written this so well. Best description of games jobs I've ever seen

Monetization Designer: “We could charge the player $.99 to open the door now, or wait 24 hours for it to open automatically.”
