Each month, we like to say ‘hi’ to a member of our excellent team.  This month, we focus our attention on Nelson.  No first name, no surname, just Nelson.

Special Skills?
Being able to clearly communicate the vision of your ideas is key.  Many projects often start with a blank sheet. With Video Games, quite literally your imagination is the only limit, but you still need a format and a process to deliver those ideas as a reality. Having a great team is essential to this, otherwise those ideas will only ever be an idea. Oh, and you need to play video games – lots and lots of video games!

What do you think the year ahead holds in store for the industry?
It’s a fascinating time for the video game industry as ‘new’ markets grow in leaps and bounds. The ‘big budget’ video game industry surpassed movie Industry revenues a few years ago, but the recent surge in casual games (such as on mobile devices), makes it an exciting time to be involved in creating new ways for people to play. Keep an eye on the latest offering from Nintendo, the ‘Wii U’, something that will undoubtedly open new paths, and question and challenge others.

Your favourite game of all time?
Too many to choose from! Having had every computer/console since the Spectrum 48k, it’s just too tough to pick one!

Your top tip for success?
Honesty, courage, humility – Be honest in everything you do (Karma is watching after all). Have the courage to push yourself, yet speak up when you need help. Learn from your mistakes.

A great insight into a great team member!  Until next month!
