Hello, I was formerly from freelance web design but am now from freelance game design. You are right.

As far as being a “fixer” goes, this has been true for me with web design, but not yet with game design. I think the reason for this is that most clients seem to know when a web production is in trouble, but have a harder time knowing when a game production is in trouble.

Not my clients of course, who are perfect in every way. God bless them, every one.

That is too much nuance for this kind of blog post :)

I will split the difference and say you are “partially right”. I know what preproduction is and I have nothing to do with producing or game design. It’s just part and parcel of what I do for a living (animation). I think a lot of people in the industry know about preproduction but I think where you draw the distinction is that they don’t implement or execute it.
