The fact that you have such strict separation between programmers and designers leads me to believe your company hires a lot of people they don't need to do jobs in a poor manner. I have very little respect for people who 'design' but can't create.

This is the weirdest take I've read in a while... Thinking designers doesn't create anything is just so wrong... And I'm not just talking about creating designs but also creating prototypes using components and e.g. unreal blueprints... Let's not forget about taking the time to properly tweak values and all that...

I'm not going to share what games I've worked on as I like to have at least a faint divide between my online persona and real life one.
