AN IMPRESSIVE CV
A snapshot of David’s stellar career
■ David’s range of roles within the games industry is impressive, covering designing, producing, or marketing games for dozens of publishers. UK developer and publisher Domark used Andromeda to write a game based on a design by Ian Livingstone. David’s marketing expertise helped launch Domark’s publishing label with the result of the partnership being an adventure game with a £25,000 cash prize called Eureka!, which debuted in 1984. David followed that up with design duties on the Domark game that marked Roger Moore’s last assignment as James Bond, the 1985 action title based on A View To A Kill. When David was at Virgin Games in the early Nineties, apart from working on Dune and the Disney console titles, he also had special advisor responsibilities for Westwood Studios on the first Fable & Fiends point‑and‑click graphic adventure, The Legend Of Kyrandia: Book One. He was producer for the fun arcade title Rolling Ronny; and was in charge of design for the popular console action blaster Robocop Vs The Terminator. The often‑overlooked Team Apache helicopter simulator from Simis was produced by David for Mindscape in 1998, when he was director of development. Meanwhile, he managed the Playstation game Circuit Breakers, which he then followed up with additional design and co‑producer duties on the simple‑yet‑fun Playstation arcade game Rat Attack!, also for Mindscape. Into the new millennium, David oversaw the design and production of multiple entries in the Creatures game series, including Creatures 2, Creatures 3, Creatures Adventures, and Creatures Village. In more recent times, David worked on a number of high‑profile mobile games for Android and IOS devices, including Plants Vs Zombies and Bejeweled: Classic for Popcap, and the Moshi series of games for Mind Candy. He served as a jury member for three interactive BAFTA award ceremonies, and cofounded Delinquent Interactive in 2014, which became part of MAG Interactive the following year, where he still works to this day as he smashes through into his fifth remarkable decade of working in the games industry.
