Harvey Smith (video game designer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harvey Smith is a video game designer interested in deeply simulated, immersive environments.
His work merges elements from RPGs and first-person shooters in the creation of games with strong fictional integrity that lends themselves to self-paced exploration and player self-expression.
Smith has lectured in various places around the world on topics such as level design, emergent gameplay, leadership, game unit differentiation, future trends and interactive narrative. At the Game Developers Conference in 2006, Smith won the Game Designer's Challenge: Nobel Peace Prize, for his design featuring a portable video game that facilitates political social action.
