Today seemed like one of those days that just dragged on. I usually think the week goes by rather quickly, but this one is taking its time. I guess I just really want the weekend to be here! Well, I guess the faster I get to bed, the quicker that will happen! I’ll see you guys in a few, short hours. For those that follow the game industry, you’ve come to know multiple developers by name. There was a time when even the most diehard gamer didn’t even know who Miyamoto was. In today’s day and age, names like Miyamoto/Wright/Kojima are synonymous with the business. Those are the developer names that almost every gamer knows. That doesn’t make them any better/worse than any other devs, it just goes to show how far we’ve come when dealing with development recognition. With our heads full of hundreds of developer names, there are most likely a few that always rise to the top of your brain. These are the devs that really strike a chord with you, and somehow always manage to speak to you through their games. The experiences you have while playing through their titles are extremely memorable, causing you to learn every little bit about the guy/girl that you can. Just like authors and directors leave their marks, so do great game devs. Personally, I absolutely love Suda51’s approach to game development. His titles are far from perfect, but you can tell that he and his development team pour their hearts into these games. While the experiences might be a little bit lop-sided, I think the personal touches more than make up for that. Killer 7 and No More Heroes aren’t the best games you’ll ever play, but the unique approach and design elements that Suda sprinkles throughout these games matters much more to me. Do you have a favor developer? If so, leave a comment and let us know who it is. Of course, fill us in on why you love them as well!
