I am the co-founder of a game development studio that is called Digital Confectioners. Before I became a game developer, I was a registered pharmacist with a passion for game development. Roughly five years ago, I embarked on a journey to follow that passion and to reach the dream of becoming a professional game developer. I made four key decisions early on that I still follow to this day. One, I wanted to make games. Two, I need to develop strong mutual relationships. Three, I need to have strong reasons to be at conferences and never for the sake of it. Four, I should always remember that building 1 point x is going to be faster and more cost effective than trying to build 1 point 0.

  • 20년 간의 변천사: Scott Miller와 3D Realms (20 Years of Evolution
    ※ 본 아티클은 CMP MEDIA LLC와의 라이선스 계약에 의해 국문으로 제공됩 니다 20년 간의 변천사: Scott Miller와 3D Realms (20 Years Of Evolution Scott Miller And 3D) Benj Edwards 2009. 8. 21 http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4169/kill_polygon_kill_violence_.php Scott Miller 는 PC 게임 업계의 역사에서 당대에 제대로 평가 받지 못한 인물이다. 그의 소프트웨어 출판에 대한 혁신적인 아이디어로 인해 셰어웨어 PC 게임 비즈니스가 장래성 없는 일에서 높은 수익을 올릴 수 있는 사업을 급격히 전환되었다. 이러한 와중에 그의 회사는 해당 분야에서 다양한 개혁을 추진했다. Scott Miller 는 아직까지 PC 게임의 선조 중의 하나로 거론되고 있지는 않으나 일반 대중들 사이에서는 가장 인기 있는 인물로 자리매김하고 있다. 1980 년 초반 새로운 부류의 게임 제작자가 등장했다. 그들은 제품을 셰어웨어로 무료로 유통시키며 전체 게임의 복사를 허용하고 그 대신 플레이 한 게임이 마음에 드는 경우 비용을 지불하도록 했다. 유감스럽게도, 이러한 용기 있는 제작자를 위하여 게임료를 지불하는 사람은 거의 없었다. Miller 는 이 시스템의 주요 결함을 발견했고 그의 셰어웨어 회사명에 따라 이름을 붙인 "Apogee Model"을 만들었다(게임을 다양한 부분으로 나눔). Apogee 는 각 게임의 첫 번째 에피소드를 무료 데모버전으로 배포하였으며, 게임이 마음에 드는 경우 회사에서 추가적으로 에피소드를 구입할 수 있도록 했다. 이 모델은 상당히 성공적인 것으로 입증되었고 Epic MegaGames(현재 Epic Games로 개칭)와 같은 유통업체는 이 모델을 자체 비즈니스에 적용하기 시작했다(자세한 내용은 Epic 설립자인 Tim Sweeney와의 초기 인터뷰에 나와 있음). 밀러는 인터넷이 주류를 이루기 전 디지털 유통 방식을 활용하여 성공적으로 게임을 배포하게 되었다. 일단 Miller 가 게임을 배포하면 Apogee 타이틀은 열광적인 팬이나 다름 없는 플레이어들의 성원에 힘입어 CompuServe 등의 온라인 서비스와 BBS 를 통해 바이러스처럼 급속히 퍼져 나갔다. 현재의 웹 중심 세계에서는 이러한 상황이 별로 대단해 보이지는 않겠지만 그 당시로서는 상당히 혁신적인 것이었다.
