Soundbite: Bruce Shelley's "inverted pyramid of decision making"

The Life & Times of Video Games

Here's some great game design wisdom from one of the legends of the business.

This interview excerpt is plucked from my set of Age of Empires history interviews that I did while putting together an oral history on the AoE series for Ars Technica a while back.

Bruce Shelley has been in the industry for some 30-odd years, with credits including co-creator of Sid Meier's Civilization, Railroad Tycoon, and Age of Empires, as well as key roles in Halo Wars and F-19 Stealth Fighter, among other games.
