French term or phrase: auteur pluriel
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!

Explanation:
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(s):
  • 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.

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
