Our Editors
At Game Developer we are lucky enough (and very proud to have had) many high-profile and influential contributors over the years. Here are a few of them:
During my decade-long career, I've contributed to high-profile digital outlets and print magazines such as PocketGamer.biz, Edge, The International Business Times, Wireframe, and Stuff. Beginning as a freelancer for Gamasutra, I served as the site's UK news writer for six years before becoming the News Editor at Game Developer.
My coverage spans major industry events where I've interviewed influential developers worldwide, providing insights into the art of game development. In 2017, I won the GANG Award for 'Best Game Audio Article, Publication, or Broadcast' for my Gamasutra feature on 'Musical scoring with SFX in mind for Call of Duty: WWII.'
I oversee Game Developer's news output, ensuring we cover the latest trends, events, and breaking news centred around art, culture, and business of game development. By illuminating technologies and processes used to create video games and the people and companies who make them, I hope to enable developers to pursue their passion while making the industry a better place.
News Editor
Chris Kerr
I’m the Editor-in-Chief here at Game Developer, with previous postings as the Editor-in-Chief at Fanbyte, the Managing Editor at waypoint, and a Senior Review at Polygon. I’m a lecturer at the Berklee College of Music, and a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician here in NYC. I am also an indie game developer and screenwriter.
I’m particularly proud of our educational content, including free and low-cost resources for students and hobbyist game developers, and our robust features section, particularly our developer deep dives.
I help to manage the team, the editorial calendar, and really, the entire editorial process here at the site. I run staff meetings, troubleshoot problems, and provide editorial guidance to team members. I write (and more commonly) edit stories, construct, and send out three newsletters per day, I also host and help manage the podcast.
Editor-in-Chief
Danielle Rindeau
I’m a writer of many talents with a background in screenwriting, narrative design, and journalism. In the course of my career I have written on two strategy games, published a steady stream of great stories at Game Developer, and spent time on film and television sets in production roles.
I’m regularly part of our one-of-a-kind GDC talk coverage. I have broken major stories such as Unity’s Runtime Fee updates and investigations into abuse allegations at notable studios. I also regularly meet with the organisers of Game Developers Conference to advise on the state of the video game industry and make recommendations on talks and other features at the show.
As a Senior Editor at Game Developer my primary purview is pursuing original stories about unique video games and the people who make them. I’m a sucker for deep insights on narrative design. I love digging into the possibilities of procedural game systems. And I must confess that if there’s a hot-button controversial topic that game developers are debating, I cannot resist diving in to learn everything I can about it.
Senior Editor
Bryant Francis
I’ve been in games media for fifteen years, having previously worked as a reporter and critic at a variety of outlets.
At Game Developer, I have spearheaded our use of theme weeks, where we showcase new and existing content and IP from across the brand to educate games industry professionals on aspects of development and design.
As Community Editorial Coordinator, I handle the written materials submitted by our audience of game developers and am responsible for overseeing the growth of columns and features within the brand that have been educating industry professionals now for decades.
Community Editorial Coordinator
Holly Green
Prior to joining Omdia, I worked at Irdeto, where I advised management and product teams on market trends and strategy. Before that, I worked as an analyst covering the video games and broader digital media market at Ovum, one of Omdia’s predecessors. I hold a master’s degree in philosophy from UCL, and with a background spanning both analyst research and first-hand industry experience, has a unique blend of insights informing my work analysing the complex games industry ecosystem.
Video games is one of the world’s most fascinating and dynamic industries, but also among the most complex and difficult to truly understand. It’s incredibly exciting to work every day on the big issues shaping the future of games and help our clients stay ahead of all of the key trends they need to know to stay competitive.
Principal Analyst
Liam Deane
I am Omdia’s Research Director for games, music and audio, and consumer platforms research. I joined Omdia in 2014 and has worked across the spectrum of entertainment and media on high-profile consulting projects, with a specialisation in games and—increasingly—how they converge with other media.
My background is in media, having played editorial roles for a range of publications before joining Omdia. For many years, I have worked on a major report that examines consumer and advertiser spending data in entertainment and media segments around the world.
As such, I can advise clients on a range of digital media. Never has an industry worth nearly $250bn been so little understood – games tend to remain in the shadows even as it makes vast sums around the world. It’s incredibly rewarding being able to cast a light on the key trends affecting the industry, while celebrating the craft of the games themselves.
Research Director
Dom Tait
I am a Senior Principal Games Analyst at Omdia, leading research into games and AR/VR technologies. Based in London, I produce insight into the games sector through regular reports, market sizing and forecasting. My specialisms include the video game market, cloud gaming, subscription services, and wearable technology.
With over ten years of experience as a tech industry analyst, I am a familiar face at major technology exhibitions. I regularly share my insights as a respected industry commentator, often quoted in both mainstream and gaming publications, contributing my perspective to industry developments.
The video game industry’s ever-evolving nature is extremely compelling, as it offers a space where technology merges with creativity to craft captivating narratives and interactive worlds. Its boundary-pushing nature, fostering innovation and inclusivity is a big draw. Deciphering trends, exploring new frontiers, and witnessing games redefine entertainment is very rewarding.
