Molyneux: Great Game Ideas Deserve Obsessive Focus

Peter Molyneux, the creator of such gaming franchises like Populous and Black & White, has revealed that he believes that each video game developer should focus on just one main game idea at the time and give it all the time and resources it needs.

The veteran developer told Gamasutra that, “If you believe that you've got an idea, you believe that that idea is worth throwing all your chips back on the table and betting them all over again, then that should be your single obsessive focus, I think.”

Molyneux was commenting on the final years of working at Lionhead with Microsoft, when he was doing Public Relations for games, while also managing multiple studios and doing actual development work on the Fable series.

At the moment, Molyneux is working with an indie-oriented developer, 22 Cans, and he has plans to focus on just one game at a time in order to deliver the best experience he can.
