Chris Avelone talks about his career as a games designer

Chris Avellone has said how challenging his career was in an interview with GI.biz. He also revealed why he hasn’t reached the same status as Warren Spector or Ken Levine.

“I suspect that what Levine and Spector do is more akin to what a project director at Obsidian does; they’re the visionary responsible for the guiding of a project and everyone else on the team looks to them to set the tone and the goals of the project,” he said.

“Since we have multiple projects going on at once, having someone dedicated to each rather than overseeing both is ideal.

“In my role as a creative director at Obsidian, my goal is to help project directors, designers, and other studio owners design and make ‘fun’ better at the company. I give advice and critiques when I can to help the process.”
