Dylan Cuthbert, President Q-Games.

My guest today is an English programmer, game-maker and President of the Kyoto-based video game studio Q-Games . Born in London, he dropped out of school at the age of 17 to join Argonaut Games where, among other titles, he worked on the Game Boy space combat title, X . The project so impressed Nintendo , that the company invited my guest to Japan, where he contributed to StarFox , a now legendary Super Nintendo dogfighting game featuring an anthropomorphic fox. After a stint working for Sony in America, my guest returned to Japan to join the development team behind the PlayStation 2 console , creating the famous ‘ducks in a bath’ tech demo. In 2001 he left Sony to found his own company, creating the brilliant PixelJunk series of games, most recently the dystopian world building game The Tomorrow Children . Welcome, Dylan Cuthbert.
