JW and Shreyas keep telling me that trying to understand Big Model is a waste of my time, because what "we" do doesn't fit the Model in the first place. I think this is a mischaracterisation of my position! (I dunno about the other boy.) Rather my position is, "The Big Model is a big waste of your time because everything interesting that you can learn from it, you can learn without having to learn to speak nerd-Swahili, simply by learning simple things about how humans interact, which you know a lot about already. Meanwhile it fails to cover a lot of important topics that I think need to be covered if you need to figure out how to make an idea-for-a-game into a work that is appreciable by your target audience. It fails both the tests of parsimony and sufficiency, if you evaluate it as I do as a manifesto of things to think about when you set out to make a game product." |
