French term

auteur pluriel

French to English Other Gaming/Video-games/E-sports
This term is from a court case where a person is claiming to be an 'auteur pluriel' (directeur artistique, réalisateur, au plan des graphismes, images et animations, au plan de la musique, au plan du scénario, au plan du game design (mécanismes et les règles du jeu) for a video game, i.e. he wrote/created more than one part of the game. I play video games but haven't translated about anything about the making of games before and so this isn't a term I'm familiar with in English, let alone French. Any help with an appropriate English term would be much appreciated!

well... Atum (alternatively spelled Tem, Temu, Tum, and Atem) is an important deity in Egyptian mythology, whose cult centred on the city of Heliopolis. His name is thought to be derived from the word 'tem' which means to complete or finish.

After researching a bit more I found another possibility, maybe it can bring more light to the discussion...
"all-encompassing author"

Atum is the all encompassing author of entirety, weaving everything into the fabric of reality.

These days, I tend to repudiate the idea of an “all-encompassing author” that I propounded when I was a critic.

In the case of an author and illustrator collaboration (as opposed to the all-encompassing author-illustrator), a writer presents a text and the illustrator clarifies and amplifies that text, extending the story beyond the words on the page.
Perhaps the biggest arguement against her being the all-encompassing author is the collages.

and
"comprehensive author".
The comprehensive author of this documentary post–war story Brigitte Ultar Kornetzky, who is a director, scriptwriter, editor...
One of the most original and comprehensive authors of processes for effecting lasting corporate change is Ralph Kilmann (1984, 1989).
On this accounting, it is clear that religion is connected to politics, and those who keep Christian faith

multifunction author

On this link, if you search "plur" you will get occurrences of "plural authority", "plural authorship", but it applies to several authors working on the same piece/work, which is not what you are looking for.

I did not find a single example for my suggestion. I hope it helps you find the right expression, in any case.
Example sentence:

Stephen Baxter born 13 November in Liverpool, England is a prolific British hard science multipurpose author.

A prolific and extremely multipurpose author, he is undoubtedly an ASCAP songwriter and has prepared screenplays and phase plays registered with the Writer's Guild of The united states.

Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : but the term as used in the French goes beyond just writing /no but the word author implies it in English. and as it turns out, I have made a suggestion, but most definitely not in reply to your comment.

Did I mention "writing" in my suggestion? I know I did not. What do you suggest, anyway?
neutral mchd : Il existe une subtilité de language en français qui n'est pas reprise dans votre traduction mot-à-mot
