Kojima explains what it takes to be a developer

Hideo Kojima recently explained what it takes to be a developer in today's industry.

 

"Right now, it's very similar to movies: You need a lot of money. So rather than doing what you want, doing what you like, you must have a clear idea of marketing and sales," Kojima said.

 

We've seen many projects get scrapped because there wasn't a large enough market for them. Kojima has even had a game cancelled recently.

 

"That's what's happening to us with FOX Engine; you do not need be an expert in programming to develop a game, but if you have a question, you still need an expert on-hand to provide an answer. As for expression, that has reached a high level. Video games are trying to reach the peak of entertainment, so game makers should be clear that things like emotion and sound are among the many things that have to be involved."

 

Review scores also play a big part in development. So much that Metacritic dropped a publication due to corrupt practices.

To me a true developer would develop despite "marketing and sales", but thats just me.

Yeah, but it's hard to get a publisher for a game that might not sell, no matter how good it is.

Thing is he built his reputation over the years and just his name alone adds value like Spielberg or Cameron, so if he wants money for a game he just says i want money and it's probably 20 times more likely he'll get all he asks for.

Sadly Game Developers arent as well known as film directors or authors. Hopefully that changes in the future.

I wanted to be a game developer when i grow up and im already 17...its gonna be tough being able to come up with ideas and sell it to ppls cause ppl wont buy the game if it isnt good that is why i will work hard to acomplish my goal,its true that alot of money is needed to create a game and the game might even not do as well as the audience might not like it but i will make it happen.

As someone trying to get into the gaming industry, this makes me sad how politics of game sells can make some good game ideas just not happen.

I think he is talking about being a Producer, not a developer.. :-?
