Warren Spector spoke at the DICE Summit today, stating that even in the wake of the closure of Junction Point Studios by Disney, he is not ready to retire from the gaming industry. Which is not to say that he plans on “same old, same old” as regards whatever he works on next:

“I had a little wake-up moment last week in the wake of events,” the 57-year-old game designer said, following the shuttering of the studio he co-founded. “One of my programmers said, ‘Why don’t you just retire?’ The answer was easy: I still have things I want to make. I’m not ready to go live on a farm.”

Spector said that he doesn’t know how many game projects he has left in him, but that his tastes have “changed dramatically” since he started making games. He has no interest in making games that star space marines preventing alien invasions or men in armor swinging huge swords.

“I want content that is relevant to my life, set in the real world,” Spector said, adding, “If we’re going to reach a new audience, we have to stop making games for teenage boys.”

Related to that last point, he also argued that games like the gratuitous Lollipop Chainsaw should probably not have been made.

His closing joke was also pretty funny.
