Developers also have commercial and legal matters to tackle before releasing a game, which usually means getting other people involved outside of the typical video game development roles in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, studios need to pay their developers and cover overhead costs. Unless a company is large enough to cover all of its costs, that means striking funding deals with people outside of the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when investors are funding a game, <strong>they have a say in the development process.<\/strong> For example, they might push for a game to be released before developers think it\u2019s ready so they can start seeing returns on their investments. They can also pull their financial support if they\u2019re unhappy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Problems like these often come from a <a href=\"https:\/\/kissflow.com\/digital-workplace\/collaboration\/collaboration-challenges\/#:~:text=2.%20Lack%20of%20clear%20vision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lack of a shared vision<\/a>\u2014developers and investors have different ideas about how their game should be made, so they end up unintentionally working against each other. The solution to this problem is <a href=\"https:\/\/kissflow.com\/digital-workplace\/collaboration\/collaboration-challenges\/#:~:text=Team%20members%20must%20make%20it%20a%20point%20to%20meet%20together%20regularly%20to%20establish%20and%20discuss%20goals.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">communication and collaboration<\/a>: Developers should work together with investors to establish reasonable goals and milestones and keep them apprised of their progress.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, developers often have business executives weighing in on their work, and possibly even copyright holders (if a game is based on an existing intellectual property). This can be especially frustrating because developers could find themselves taking orders from people who aren\u2019t experienced in video game development. <strong>But without those people\u2019s support, the game can\u2019t get made at all.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: As a counterpoint to Schreier, there are times when outside perspectives and ideas <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/range\/part-3-3#team-diversity-enables-innovation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can be beneficial<\/a>. Someone with no background in game development might come up with a unique idea that people steeped in game development culture and practices would never think of. For example, an executive might provide some insight about how a character in a leadership role should behave, while a copyright holder likely knows key details about the setting that others have overlooked or forgotten. However, as with the \u201cshared vision\u201d principle above, communication and collaboration are key\u2014it shouldn\u2019t just be an outsider overriding developers\u2019 decisions.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Case Study: Star Wars 1313<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Schreier ends this book with the story of the unreleased <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Star_Wars_1313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Star Wars 1313<\/em><\/a>, a game in which players would have controlled a bounty hunter as he tried to make a living in the slums of the planet Coruscant. The developers, working for the company LucasArts, overcame numerous developmental and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/creative-challenges\/\">creative challenges<\/a> only to see their studio bought out and shut down by Disney.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first major hurdle that LucasArts\u2019s developers faced was from outside the game studio. <em>Star Wars <\/em>creator George Lucas (who is, by his own admission, not a gamer) kept demanding creative changes. He thought those changes would be relatively minor, but in reality, they required the development team to redo weeks or months of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schreier reports that before the game was finished, Disney bought out LucasArts and shut down the company. Years of work on <em>Star Wars 1313 <\/em>had to be thrown away, while developers and fans alike realized that this promising game would never see the light of day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are outside video game development roles?
