You guys may have seen the title “Game Director” thrown about in development diaries and on various streams, but we’ve never explained what a game director is.
The Game Director is the vision owner for a game. They develop this vision with the help of others, communicate it to the rest of the team and external partners, and ensure the final product is something fans will enjoy and spend money on. They have final creative control of their games.
Historically, I was basically the game director for every game we made until CK2, which was the first time someone else owned the creative vision of the game. Victoria 2 was almost entirely Chris King’s design, and if we’d had today’s organisation back then, he would have been GD of that game. Until the release of Stellaris, Henrik was the GD of that game, and until this week, I was the GD of EU4.
Our game-director team these days include the following people.
Chris ‘King’ King - Secret Project
Dan ‘podcat’ Lind - Hearts of Iron IV.
Henrik ‘Doomdark’ Fåhraeus - Crusader Kings 2 & Secret Project
Jake ‘DDRJake’ Leiper-Ritchie - Europa Universalis IV
Jon ‘Jon Shafer’ Shafer - Secret Project
Martin ‘Wiz’ Anward - Stellaris
As you may have noticed, my name is absent from that list, as I now work with leading and supporting all our game directors equally.
I am very proud to hand over the reigns of EUIV to Jake now, I’ve worked with him for the last 18 months, with designing Rights of Man, Mandate of Heaven & Third Rome together, and now we are soon releasing Cradle of Civilisation which is basically entirely his vision.
Johan kpümmert sich also nicht mehr um ein Spiel, sondern koordiniert die verschiedenen Projekte.
Derzeit sind 3 Leute “Game Director” von einem Geheimen Projekt. Also scheinbar sind zwei schon etwas weiter in der Entwicklung und eins noch weit am Anfang, sonst könnt eich mir nicht vrstellen dass Doomdark zwei Projekte gleichzeitig leitet.
Chris King war alleiniger Designer von Vic2, jetzt hat er ein nues Projekt. Gibt es bald Vic3?
