Every week, we ask some of the best game development minds five questions in a feature we are calling Develop:Five. This week, Jonathan Smith from Traveller’s Tales answers
our five question blog feature.
1. What’s your earliest memory of playing video games?
Pounding aliens with a spade in "Space
Panic". Dig-anywhere gameplay 30 years before Minecraft.
2. What are you most excited or annoyed about in the games industry
today?
I'm hoping to see Switch players colonising public
spaces with portable social multi-player fun. The more videogames are visible
in the real world, the better.
3. Tell us about a life-changing or special moment you've had at
Develop:Brighton in the past - it could be
an inspiring talk, someone you met or something that happened to change your
career or business? Or something else completely!
Develop: Brighton is always a highlight of the year.
And I've seen... things... you wouldn't believe. One standout moment was
watching David Braben and Dave Jones play GTA and Elite (respectively), two
games I've loved dearly.
4. What are you most looking forward to at Develop:Brighton 2017?
Camaraderie.
5. Which game developer would you most like to meet and why?
Miyamoto, to say thank you.
