Do Game Designers Burn Out Like Rock Stars ?
Reader Ant wrote in to mention a Guardian Unlimited Gamesblog article which asks: Do Game Designers burn out like rock stars? From the article: "The games industry is getting on a bit now, and so are many of its key 'superstars'. You may not think it, given the proliferation of sequels and movie tie-ins that clog up the charts like that sickly white glue in the veins of heavy smokers, but this is a creative business. No matter how many people are involved in the process, there must be a spark of inspiration somewhere at its core. So what happens when the spark falters, or goes out?"
Will there or won't there be a Grand Theft Auto 6 from Rockstar?
...got fed up with all the sex and drugs that came with designing Combat Solitaire 4.5!
Crazy Jim,
Good name, because you are crazy. I went to your website and your games are terrible. If you are world class, I must be galaxy class because I am so much better. My game idea is to make a online RTS FPS MMORPG. its called empires of pac-Craft!1!! It is so good. You control armies of pacmen that battle ACROSS TIME! Pacman is still a top selling game! I'm making it even better. alsoyou get Tetris-based inventory. If you cant make your stuff line up like tetris blocks you lose it. Ha ha ha. Awesome! It's for hardcore gamers, not girls or boys! Seriously, everyone talks about massives,, but no one has this great idea of mine. When you buy the game you are teamed up with some other player. Maybe the President of USA or an angry chinese kid. Whoi knows it doesn't matter. That is the only person you can play against so my game makes high scores and world peace because you get to know each other and differences and stuff. I don't know how to program yet, but I've written codes for big head mode and free lives in m$word so I just need some help. I'm looking for artists because the game will be in 2ds and 3ds and maybe 4ds if we have time. ha ha ha. seriously!!! It will hopefully come out on the PS3 because I should have the money to make it by then. My grandpa is going to die soon and hes rich! So um, yeah, Crazy Jim I'm gonna hire you to fire you when I'm rich. ha ha ha! seriously.
