GameProducer.net Goes Deep Into Indie Games Production

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE




FINLAND, MAY 25, 2006 - Today GAMEPRODUCER.NET (http://www.gameproducer.net) published an interview with Gavin Carter, the producer of award winning video game Oblivion. Gavin shares his insight on production issues, explains how Oblivion was produced and shares his top five game producing tips. "A game producer is responsible for making the development process go as smoothly as possible. They're the ones tracking the game's progress at every point, so they have to create and maintain the overall schedule and make sure it gets communicated to each developer. You have to make sure that everyone you're responsible for has everything they need to keep moving on development. This includes everything from assigning tasks, to making sure their computer hardware remains up to par, to making sure an artist gets that troublesome animation over to the programmer when he has time to review it, etc." Carter replied when asked about the role of a game producer. The interview is available read on the gameproducer.net website (http://www.gameproducer.net/2006/05/25/interview-oblivion-game-producer-gavin-carter/).
