Im doing research on recognizable members of the games industry, such as Yuji Naka , Shigeru Miyamoto, Will Write, Peter Molyneux, Peter Moore, Reggie Fils-Aime, Hideo Kojima, Satoru Iwata, John carmack, etc. What i'd like to know is who do you think is worth knowing about that is part of the industry? Please give a brief description on what they have done or do that makes them important. Photos as well if possible.
How about John "Daikatana will make you it's bitch" Romero? Then of course there's J Allard of Xbox fame, not to mention"Major Nelson". Both are fairly well known. And no, john romero will never live down his reputation. Fool me once, shame on you. Make Daikatana, shame on you.
Dave Arneson, co creater of dungeons and dragons. Lives in my hometown and works at full sail. Great guy to talk to. Dustin Clingman. ranking member of the IGDA. Author of IGDA's quality of life white paper. and is also my mentor. Warren Spector, creator of Deus Ex and Thief 3.
i really like peter Molyneux work or at least the company that long time ago bullfrog with populus, high octane and syndicate they where very far from the normal tracks with their games but after that ...
Hiroshi Yamauchi - turned Nintendo from a card game to a video game manufacturer. Hironobu Sakaguchi - Final Fantasy series creator. Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy series composer. ray:
I know that a recent thread on this very subject was recently locked, but Yuji Naka simply has to be replaced in any "gaming celebrity" list with Naoto Ohshima - he was the real talent behind Sonic Team and probably why their more recent work has been so disappointing! P.S. How about considering Toshihiro Nagoshi (Daytona USA, Monkey Ball) for inclusion, too?
