At GDC 2017 researcher Dana Ruggiero gives a talk (based on interviews with over 50 notable game makers, from Brenda Romero to Davey Wreden) on how game developers define success for themselves.
November 1, 2017
Pride. Money. Self-worth. Sticking it to other people.
According to Bath Spa University's Dana Ruggiero, these are just some of the ways that game designers from indie to triple-A to experimental games have defined 'success' in their careers.
At GDC 2017, she gave a thought-provoking talk -- based on interviews with over 50 notable game makers, from Brenda Romero to Davey Wreden -- on how game developers define "success" for themselves.
Her presentation was peppered with honest feedback, and it offered a fresh perspective on a question that every developer grapples with but rarely talks about in public.
