Work Doesn’t Take A Holiday But David Perry’s Free To Play / Gamasutra
“After twenty years in the business, with the decision of Atari to sell Shiny Entertainment in early 2006, founder and Earthworm Jim, MDK, Messiah and Enter The Matrix co-creator David Perry decided to take a year off.But, as humorously recounted in his recent talk at the Montreal International Game Summit, things didn’t quite work out the way he hoped, and he’s since ended up as chief creative office for the relaunched Acclaim, consulting on games and directing multiple MMOs - and that’s only a few of his commitments.
Gamasutra recently talked to Perry after his session about his ‘holiday’, his many projects, and the concept of free-to-play MMOs.”
Happy New Year!
Nice one. He’s got some interesting things in the pipeline. It’s pretty easy to forget about Korea when Kim Jong Il isn’t rattling his sabre. They’ve got one hell of a work ethic over there if they’re development time is 3 months.
I’m not sure how great a claim it is to be the co-creator of Enter the Matrix is though.
It was good to see you again when you were over.
