Director's Mindset

How to think differently about a specific part of game development. Identity, framework, and perspective, not tools or tactics. The reader finishes thinking about their game differently, not just doing something differently. Good angles: scope discipline, what direction actually means in practice, why vision statements matter, protecting your creative signature, the difference between executing and directing.
