Jak dobrze, że mamy BGG Live Stream Video – mam wrażenie, że dzięki tym prezentacjom nie wychodząc z domu (no dobra – nie wychodząc z pracy…;]) mogę brać udział w targach, poznawać na spokojnie nowe gry. Dzisiaj moją uwagę zwrócił prototyp (?) wyścigowej gry żużlowej Speedway Champion, promowany przez wydawnictwo Czech Board Games. Co ciekawe, SCh na pierwszy rzut oka wygląda bardzo podobnie do prototypu Magii Czarnego Sportu, której założenia prezentowałem rok temu po gdyńskim festiwalu Gramy.
Tutorial do SotE jest dostępny na stronie Academy Games. A z tym siedzeniem cicho o polskich twórcach to faktycznie dziwne.
A ja myślę, że prezentacja SotE miała na celu promowanie gry a nie autora. Myślę, że target tej prezentacji nie jest zainteresowany nazwiskiem Roberta Żaka, nic mu ono nie mówi. Bardziej zaufa wydawcy, którego zna i serii wydawniczej. Zamulanie prezentacji nazwiskiem autora tylko dla połechtania próżności polskich słuchaczy (którzy i tak grę znają i nie do nich jest ta gadka) nie służyłoby dobrze perspektywom sprzedaży gry. Kluczowe jest to czy informacje o autorze są na pudełku i w instrukcji a nie w prezentacji na Essen.
Jacku, bez przesady. To nie była wystudiowana marketingowa kilkuminutowa prezentacja, tylko swobodna rozmowa o grze. Myślę, że skoro znalazł się czas na głupkowate i nic nie wnoszące dowcipkowanie, to chwilka na docenienie pracy Roberta tym bardziej powinna się znaleźć.
Jedno drugiemu nie przeczy. Co szkodziło powiedzieć, „Ten znakomity system został stworzony przez Roberta Żaka w grze Eagle and the Star, zachwycił nas w Essen dwa lata temu i postanowilismy wydać jego usprawnioną wersję, a nawet przygotować kolejne gry oparte na tej mechanice. Robert zrobił kawał dobrej roboty, a my robimy kawał dobrej roboty rozwijając jego system”. Jedno zdanie. No dobra – dwa. Zupełnie nie chodzi mi o 'łechtanie’ próżności, tylko o fakty. A fakty są takie, że Robert wydał grę, która przez Academy Games została teraz ładniej opakowana, ciut zmieniona (jeszcze w sumie nie wiadomo, czy te zmiany okażą się pozytywne) i wydana pod innym tytułem. Ale to wciąż jest gra Roberta.
Tymczasem Uwe sugeruje, że to 'Academy Games’ stworzyło tak znakomity produkt własnymi siłami. O ile mi wiadomo, Robert nie jest jeszcze na etacie w Academy Games.
Rok temu podobnie – Michał Ozon z kolegami wykonali niesamowitą pracę nad Price of Honour, i fajnie byłoby chociaż wspomnieć, że ten dodatek (pierwszy do CoH) powstał dzięki pracy polskich fanów gry.
Ja tego nie rozumiem. Dla mnie to jest naturalne, że jeśli korzystasz z owoców czyjejś pracy, to mówisz mu’Dziękuję’, a nie przedstawiasz tę prace jako swoją.
Jeśli jest tak, jak mówicie, to rzeczywiście nieładnie, nawet, jeśli autor sprzedał prawa do projektu — to jednak pozostaje jego autorem. Aż ma się ochotę być bardzo złośliwym trollem i zapytać tak:
Skoro Ameryka pierwsza miała A-bombę i pierwsza wysłała człowieka na Księżyc, czy masz wątpliwości co do tego, kto tu jest najważniejszy?
Oj, jeszcze długo będziemy uważani za obszar taniej siły roboczej, z którego profity mogą trafiać do białych plantatorów…
Ja też zwróciłem na to uwagę, tym bardziej że to któryś filmik z Academy Games i nigdy nie widziałem informacji o autorze.
Na pocieszenie napiszę, że na pudełku i broszurce ze scenariuszami do PoH jest wyraźnie napisane, że Michał Ozon jest autorem scenariuszy.
Dostałem informację, że Magia Czarnego Sportu zostanie wydana w marcu 2012 roku, a składy w grze będą posiadały licencję Ekstraligi żużlowej
Napisałem o tym Uwe Eickertowi:
…. and the last one thing that makes me sad and litle embarassed. I know it’s your money, business and risk and you are doing well to do it the best. But it would be nice if you would mention sometimes in public presentations or texts (for example here – during BGG video show – http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/17972822) about original game diesigner’s name. I write it NOT to insult you and NOT from my vanity, but for appreciate my effort and work. I love designing games, but I also put into this my heart and a really lot of time and works. Mentioning about original design would also appreciate my playesters, a really fantastic people. Without them I couldn’t do any succesfull game design.
Odpowiedź Uwe:
Robert, you are 100% correct. I should have mentioned this. I was too busy trying to be funny and explaining the game. I usually do this and did not do so for either game. I will make an effort to always do so in the future.
Trochę to pachnie mi poobiednią musztardą, ale także liczę na poprawę ze strony Uwe w tym względzie.
Przynajmniej nie stwierdził, że nie wie czego się Robert czepia. Dobre i to!
