Y U NOT MASS MARKET
Jan. 15th, 2014 07:46 amTLDR: разработка любого продукта - она длинная. долго делать решения против своего вкуса заебывает. делайте то что нравится вам самим. если массовый рынок не нравится - ориентируйтесь на нишу похожих на вас людей, это легче.
интересный контрпример - это геймдизайнеры-социопаты, т.е. которые полностью отстраненно рисуют core loops игровой механики, и получают фидбек сугубо с графиков в статистике и A/B тестирования (в итоге получаются безумные игрушки, которые на самом деле игровые автоматы, только с другой графикой)
т.е. понимать пользователей можно либо душевно/интуитивно, либо деперсонализированно, но не сознательно.
> On a semi-related tangent : if your taste doesn't match well with the mass market, you cannot make mass market products. You might think "I'm intelligent, I can see what the mass market likes and make something for them", but it just doesn't work. You have to really believe in what you're making, you have to think that boobies are great, and shooting stuff and big explosions is really exciting, that vampires and zombies are fascinating, and that everyone should wear space-marine body armor. If you don't really believe that, you can't make mass market games. If your taste is actually interesting and unique, you need to go ahead and make what your taste tells you to do.
To be a really successful mass market auteur, you have to be very smart and driven, and also actually have terrible taste and retarded ideas of what's cool, like the common man. This is where people like J.J. Abrams, Michael Crichton, Michael Bay, etc. shine.
