what does a game director do
The director has the most creative control, but the producer has the most control. Typically the producer approaches the project from a business perspective and is responsible for the project being finished in a timely manner. The director is the main decision maker for creative aspects of the game. Usually the director doesn't produce art, music, design levels, or story, but does have control of the general direction of these projects. For example, if the artist produces concept art that the director doesn't like, then the artist has try again.
A creative director is also responsible for managing the gameâs schedule and budget, and for making important, and sometimes difficult, decisions about those things. It is on the head of the director if a game does not come in under schedule and budget, so good management skills are an absolute must.
