Summary
Warren Spector recently gave a talk at the DevGamm gaming event in Cascais, Portugal.
The 68-year-old game designer has left his mark across gaming with immersive sim games, which give players a wide array of choices.
Spector has strong opinions when it comes to game design.
We talked about his tips for emerging game designers.
Why executives needed a demonstration of a game that won a bunch of Game of the Year awards a year after it shipped.
The problem is most - I don't think I'm overstating - most games you do things because the game tells you to and doesn't offer you any opportunities beyond that.
In my games, I hope you're never in a position where you have to do what I tell you to because I will never tell you what to do.
