Game Developers Choice Awards To Honor Brenda Romero, David Braben
The Game Developers Choice Awards group has announced recipients for two prestigious awards. Brenda Romero has been chosen to receive the Ambassador Award and David Braben will receive the Pioneer Award.
Romero began working in the video game industry at the age of 15, and continued on to work on the Wizardy series, Jagged Alliance franchise, and Dungeons & Dragons console games. She is currently the program director of the Games and Playable Media program at UC Santa Cruz. She is also an owner of Loot Drop and Romero Games.
David Braben is one of the co-creators of open-world space title Elite. The title was released in 1984, and recently saw a successor in Elite Dangerous by Frontier Developments, of which Braben is the CEO.
He was also involved in the creation of Raspberry Pi, an inexpensive, small computer for hobbyists. That group has a related charitable foundation focused on education, particularly in the areas of computer science and computers.
The GDC Awards will be presented at a ceremony on March 4 at 6:30 p.m. The even coincides with the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
