Although this talk about genres is fascinating, I'm gonna start a new topic (I hope noone minds). I spent some time a few weeks ago talking to C.E. Forman on the phone. We covered a multitude of topics, but the two that were the most interesting are below. I'd like to get input on each of

Making games today isn't like the old days. Teams of 15 to 40 people are typical, and project managers are necessary for a team that size. I've seen many times where a programmer has a great game idea and therefore also wants to act as the designer or project manager. In the past a person

To add to what Joe wrote, my cousin currently holds a management position at a plastics company. If we can get a large enough order to justify the expense involved, I'd be glad to talk to him about a production run, see what's involved. (Haven't gotten around to it yet, Joe, this Infocom T-shirt
