A lifetime in gaming: an interview with Russell Kay

Abstract

Few people in the games industry can boast the experience of Russell Kay. Since his beginnings as a creator of Lemmings, Russell has worked on such projects as Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup and F1 Career Challenge. Russell founded Visual Science, a game development company, and is Visiting Professor of Computer Games Technology at the University of Abertay Dundee. Most recently, Russell moved to new challenges at Realtime Worlds. I met up with him recently to ask about the business of game design.
