President and Founder, Q-Games
Dylan Cuthbert
Dylan was born in London, England. He began programming professionally at age 17 for Argonaut Software Ltd. (now Argonaut Games PLC). Then, via a contract between Argonaut and Nintendo, Dylan moved to Kyoto, Japan to develop a number of revolutionary 3D titles such as X for the Gameboy, and Starfox for the Super Nintendo. He also developed the un-released Starfox 2 for the Super Nintendo.
Afterwards, he began developing for Playstation by joining Sony Computer Entertainment America at their HQ in Foster City, California. During his stay in America he developed the 3D science fiction action hero title "Blasto" before transferring to Sony Japan and moving to Tokyo.
At Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. he jumped onto the fast-track of Playstation2
development and created the famous duck-in-a-bath technical demonstration that received worldwide
attention during the Playstation 2's launch. Here is an
interview (japanese only) conducted by B-ing, a major recruitment/employment
magazine in Japan.
- Following hot on the heels of the technical demo, Dylan developed "Piposaru 2001", a quasi-sequel to "Ape Escape" which was released by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. in July 2001.
- In August of 2001 Dylan founded Q-Games in Kyoto, Japan.
