IGDA Game Preservation SIG
is launching the IGDA Memorials Project to commemorate the lives and
work
of past members of the Game Industry. The Memorials Project contains
biographies of professionals from around the world and is available to
anyone who worked on a game or with the Industry in the past. In
addition, because we believe the IGDA stands for more than just
videogames, there are Memorials for designers of paper-based games, as
well as for notable individuals from the toy industry, researchers and
computer scientists whose work has greatly affected the ways in which
we
understand, play, and design our games.<br>
<br>
It is our conviction that the IGDA Memorials Project will help the IGDA
build our international community and will create an awareness for our
art form by giving it an expanded sense of history. We recognize
our community as being a continuum of individuals stretching from the
past to the present day and as such we wish to celebrate the
achievements
of those who have made important contributions to the evolution of the
Game Industry. The IGDA Memorials Project will serve to remind us
of the achievements and creative passions of the people who have helped
shape the medium into what it is today and whose legacy continues to
inspire where we will take it in the future.<br>
<br>
The IGDA Memorials Project welcomes participation from members of the
community to help celebrate the memories of our own. Most Memorials
provide the option for members to post eulogies regarding their own
personal experiences with and memories of a person they knew or whose
work they cared deeply about. We are also interested in hearing about
other developers whose Memorials are not already on our site. If you
are
interested in participating in the IGDA Memorials Project, please visit
