 Hello, my team and I had the great opportunity to make an interview of Matt Rhodes, one of the most talented artist I've seen in my life !

It's for the fan page Dragon Age France but we thought that the Interview in English might interest all of you ^^

That's why I wanna share it with you and all the DA fans

Thanks for sharing that - interesting read!

[Eveangaline]

Thanks, this looks interesting.

Hmmm, Matt is more of a concept artist (so in that sense, he is a "designer" but the term lead designer may be confusing for some people).

Was he okay with the term in that way?

[Bulltox]

He didn't say no, but if you want we can change the title Allan

Edit: I talked to my team and that was my fault, I read lead Designer and wrote it on the site but it was Lead Concept Artist on the paper... shame on me !

That's fine. I'll touch base and let him come in if he wants (if I can find his profile... lol).

Please do. He is the Lead Concept Artist. "Lead Designer" is someone else completely, and will be confusing for some who don't keep up to date on our position changes.

[Bulltox]

Is it better to say lead concept artist?

[Bulltox]

Okay, Mr Gaider we had the same idea ^^

[Allan Schumacher]

Yeah I think that that is best. THat's what I refer to him as. Lead Designer technically deals with the game design stuff as a whole.

[Bulltox]

Okay thanks for the help, our english is not perfect you know correction done on the website

[GloriousDame]

so is the lead Designer kind of like the head of a small group of artisits?

[Allan Schumacher]

Lead Designer will really do more "general design" across the board, in terms of "how the game plays."

It's a bit out of my element and I'm sure there's some collaboration (Hey we want to add this art... cool I can do some fun stuff with this art!).

But it's about overseeing the gameplay from things like puzzles, creating encounters, and so forth.

There's a variety of aspects that they will oversee, but like "Level Design" is one part, and they are the ones that take the level art (the geometry with all the placeables) and start to craft encounters and so forth.

Tech Designers will set up how puzzles and stuff work, do the scripting for the scenes. THere's a lot of overlap, but yeah.


ANd of course, it's all still collaborative. Writers will have plots, and the level designers will start placing those conversations and whatnot int he scene, while art guys go "yeah this looks good" and so forth

But yeah, "design" is sort of the "not programming and not art" aspect of content creation. If that makes any sense?

[Kevin Lynch]

Man, I so admire artists that have the ability to create and draw like that. If there was one talent I wish I had, it would be to draw well.

Thanks for the interview.

[Maria Caliban]
