Peter Molyneux. He was a great game designer in the 1990s at Bullfrog. I mean Populous, Syndicate, Theme Park, Magic Carpet, Dungeon Keeper (to a lesser extend also Black & White and Fable) were great games.
He is really good at PR, he always promises a lot and he almost never delivers (game functionality, not about the article). He has a bad reputation IMHO at least since Black & White 1 in 2001, his earlier games were great! Though he is a charming guy and get away with it. The article is rubbish, just like Molyneux latest 22Cans's "Godus" god game.
- the_af 12y agoWas Syndicate (an all time favorite of mine) designed by Molyneux? According to Wikipedia, it was designed by someone named Sean Cooper. I have to wonder... is it a coincidence that it's not a God game? (To give Molyneux his well-earned credit, I also loved Populous and Dungeon Keeper!)
- AlyssaRowan 12y agoYes, but Molyneux's design was called Higher Functions - all you controlled was the "mood" bars (adrenaline, blue funk, don't remember), no direct control over the agents. Used to have some assembly source from it, I think.
