A survey held by the Develop Conference has found that Shigeru Miyamoto is regarded as the hero of the game development community. No surprise there, really.
The Develop Conference is an annual event drawing in developers from throughout Europe for what is essentially to devs what E3 is for press – a pile of speeches and information on emerging tools, tech and troubles, as well as some contact making and chin-wagging.
It sounds like a small event, but when you consider that such heavy hitters as Ubisoft, Little Big Planet developers Media Molecule, Crytek UK and Lionhead Studios are making an appearance you realise how much of a big deal this is for the developer community.
