GamesBusiness conference - Meet Jon Hare (Sensible Soccer)

Unread post by jackpotdk » 02 Sep 2011, 12:47

The GamesBusiness conference in Aalborg, Denmark brings together business decision makers from across the games industry for a day of inspirational talks and discussions on four main topics: Business development, fundraising, education and trends.

We are very happy to announce the arrival of Jon Hare as a panelist - One of the two founder members and directors, with Chris Yates, of Sensible Software, one of the most successful European games development companies of the late 1980s and 1990s.
Hare was co-designer and artist of all of Sensible's hits prior to 1992 including Parallax, Wizball, Microprose Soccer, SEUCK and Wizkid. He was also the lead designer and creative director of Mega Lo Mania, the Sensible Soccer series and the Cannon Fodder series, some of the most popular software franchises of the mid 1990s.

Today, Jon runs Tower Studios, publisher on many mobile and online downloadable platforms of classic licensed games from the 80s - 90s as well as new designs from Jon and other game developers. Tower's most successful title as a publisher to date has been Speedball 2 Evolution, a remake of The Bitmap Brothers classic game which topped the iPad and Mac charts across Europe in 2011.
