Hmm. Well, given that there's just 24 hours to go, I'll quickly introduce
myself with a brief summary of my background.
I've been in the industry as a games designer for about 9 years, most
notable games I've worked on have been Theme Hospital, Wipeout3 and
Startopia. Also a few others of less note such as Retro Force and Spyhunter
2.
Currently working for Climax London.
Reason I'm on the panel? Nothing to do with any outspoken views I may have
on the subject - more of a last minute request from some of the organisers
who where trying to convince Climax to sponsor the event - having a Climax
panellist was seen as a possible incentive. Climax declined, but I'll still
be doing the panel regardless. It's also handy to have a nice percentage of
development staff on the panel - it is the IGDA after all.
I'd like to know if possible what other panellists views are on the subject
(broadly speaking) - if there is a general consensus, I may just take an
opposing view (devils advocate) just to provide some catalyst for debate and
discussion. My own personal thoughts are fairly pragmatic, advocating
restraint in how violent games are marketed to improve the image of the
games industry in the long term, but not necessarily calling for censorship
in the content of these games or their availability.
More sobering though, I'll try to give a clearer picture on just how much or
how little say developers have in the games they are asked to create. On
whose shoulders does resposibility actually fall, both within and without
the industry?
Regards,
Wayne Imlach.
