My title as Creative Lead on the seasons team probably doesn’t give you a clear idea of what I do. So here goes the thread!
Creative Lead is a “Vision” role responsible for delivering a season that aligns with:
Player expectations
Game and business goals
Team’s ambitions

Players are pretty good at finding problems.
But no one can offer realistic solutions to a game design problem without game dev experience and direct working knowledge of the specific game.
Devs don’t want your solutions, just constructive feedback about the problems.

This Shield is what 11 years at Bungie looks like. Each medal represents one of the 25+ Destiny releases we’ve shipped to millions of players. During that time we completely changed how we develop games and do business, moving from strictly boxed products to live service games.

It’s always so gross to see folks get upset about the people working at a game company expressing their views and opinions.
Are we supposed to just ignore what’s going on out here, put our heads down, and be quiet?

Saw a take about how it’s easier to make games than it’s ever been, and devs / publishers are greedy / lazy, and it’s ok to sacrifice one’s health for a quality product.
Nope. That’s bullshit.

Last year I tweeted about the only Easter Egg I hid in Destiny 1.
My boss back on D1 had been hidden on the Moon in Halo, and I wanted to make it a tradition by hiding an image of him on Mars’s Phobos. But it was too hard to find and no one ever noticed it!
Can you find him?
