One of the great things about ARGdb is that it's a place to list
credits for the various games. Now, of course, many are unpublished
and may never be published, but it sure is nice to get credit for your
work and this might encourage more campaigns to publish such things
or, at least, send them to us. However, as there have been no
standards for this stuff, I'm finding it to be quite a challenge (and
opportunity!).
For practical purposes (ie a tangle of relational databases), we need
to have some sort of standardized system and I'm looking for your
thoughts and suggestions. My current idea is to group them by a basic
type and then let the actual titles be flexible. So, it might look
something like this:
Created by
FirstName LastName --- Creator
FirstName LastName --- CCO
Produced by
FirstName LastName --- Producer
FirstName LastName --- Assistant Producer
FirstName LastName --- Live Event Coordinator
FirstName LastName --- Location Scout
FirstName LastName --- Production Assistant
Written by
FirstName LastName --- Lead Writer
FirstName LastName --- Story Writer
FirstName LastName --- Copy Writer
Game Designed by
FirstName LastName --- Lead Designer
FirstName LastName --- Puzzle Guru
FirstName LastName --- Mind Bender
Actor
FirstName LastName --- CharacterName (blog)
FirstName LastName --- CharacterName (video)
FirstName LastName --- CharacterName (live)
Internet
FirstName LastName --- Technical Lead
FirstName LastName --- Design Lead
FirstName LastName --- Web Wizard
FirstName LastName --- Art Geek
Video
FirstName LastName --- Videographer
Audio
FirstName LastName --- Sound guy
Other
FirstName LastName --- Whatever
FirstName LastName --- Whatever else
Thanks
FirstName LastName --- The dude that didn't really do anything we can
list but inspired us all
Are there subheadings/groups that are missing? Is this too formal for
your wacky independent sensibilities? Does it seem like a good
approach? For those of you that deal more directly with the clients,
would this setup be flexible enough to allow the necessary blending of
the various teams?
