Column: 'Media Consumption: Cryptic's Sean Fish'

This week's media consumption, a look at the media and art diets of our favorite industry personalities, speaks to Cryptic Studios Senior Staff Designer Sean Fish. Fish started out in the games industry in 1996 as a quality assurance tester on the Dungeons & Dragons DOS game Dark Sun Online. After this he started a long career at Accolade, where he worked on Star Control 3, Jack Nicklaus Golf and the Test Drive series. He then moved up to designer, starting with the ill-fated Star Control follow-up Starcon, and later, installments in the Test Drive series, and Demolition Racer. His final work for Accolade, after being purchased by Infogrames, was as a producer for the Alone in the Dark and Terminator franchises. After Accolade, Fish jumped ship and worked again in a production role, this time at Circus Freak Studios on Superman: The Man of Steel, followed by a brief sting with pen and paper RPGs, including Spycraft, Shadowforce Archer, and Warmachine. Today, at Cryptic Studios, Fish works in a design role on both of their flagship titles, City of Heroes and City of Villains.
