David Perry is a name I would expect to be at least vaguely familiar sounding to a lot of gamers. He’s been in the biz quite awhile and made a lot of games including the Earthworm Jim series, smash TV, and (one of my favorites) Cool Spot. (You played the 7-UP dot).

Currently, he’s moved his works completely into the Massively Multiplayer Online spectrum. He’s running 2Moons, which is your typical clicky MMO, Bots, which is kind of like Medabots, only MMO, Dance (think MMODDR) and a project known as “Top Secret Project.”

Top Secret Project is basically, a community designed project. Everyone gives input and ideas and eventually, one person will be selected to actually run the creation of this MMO. Its like a big “Who wants to be a Gamer Designer” contest.
It’s pretty cool, the ideas going around are pretty rad. He decided to make the theme a “racing” mmo.
You could check it out over at http://topsecret.acclaim.com/

He’s also got a rather cool wiki for those of you who want to be game developers. Like all Wikis, its open source. It’s a collection of articles, resources, and tips for would-be game developers of all types. Designers, Programmers, Graphics, etc.
If you want to check it out, head HERE. (Emphasis obvious enough?)

You probably have a good idea what I’ve been looking into the last few days, eh? I doubt I’ll win the Top Secret Project, but it might be a nice place to make some contacts. And I’m always pumped to get good programming tuts.

Until next time, comrades.
