Denki’s in-house games boffin, design guru, official games legend and colourful trouser aficionado, Gary Penn has been interviewed by games trade journal, Develop.

As part of the magazines on-going FAQ series, Gary answers questions on the way of Denki and his thoughts on city-based sandbox games – alongside many other info-dense nuggets of game wisdom.

The whole interview contains Gary’s thoughts on games, other developers, favourite TV and film – and a little song – because that’s our Gary.

We’re very proud!

Gary Penn’s description on Wikipedia is “official games legend”. It’s satisfying to see the words sit there next to his name, untouched, unquestioned by the site’s moderators who are more than happy to fight bitter ‘edit wars’ with Scientologists, Star Wars fans and Tories.

Penn is a legend. He’s one of the founding fathers of game journalism (in fact, the very first GMA Legend award winner).

Now go and read the rest of the piece and leave lovely comments.
