Alex Neuse

Alex Neuse is a 13 year industry veteran and has a wide breadth of talents, having held jobs in QA, Production, Design, and Management at multiple companies, including LucasArts Entertainment Company, Activision, and Santa Cruz Games before founding Gaijin Games in 2007. An avid gamer, he once pondered that “sometimes a really good video game is just awesome.” Never have truer words been spoken (or laser etched into the back of an iPod).

Chris Osborn

… is a life-long gamer and purveyor of all things techy and trendy. He rolls with the title of “Engineer” rather than “Programmer” since spitting code is only one aspect of the job in a tiny studio such as the Gaijin. Past gigs include Santa Cruz Games (as Lead Programmer of Tomb Raider: Underworld DS among other cool projects) and the MOVES Institute. As far as this website is concernced, expect some good rants on topics like game programming, agile development, and how much he hates networking code. He really likes horror movies, pineapples, and caffeine.

Mike Roush

Mike Roush is totally bitch’n! As a young man he passed his time by building prosthetic creatures and making home made monster films. To fund this costly endeavor he had to take a job as a Computer Aided Drafter. Noticing the industry was leaning more and more toward CG he changed his focus and started to dabble in this emerging media. After 9 years of CAD and 3 years independent multimedia production he decided to enter the gaming industry. Mike then got a job at Santa Cruz Games working on such titles as Madagascar Island Mania, Superman DS and Tomb Raider Underworld DS. Mike is still totally amazing and has partnered with Gaijin Games.

A few of Mike’s favorites:

• Quake 3 Arena
• Urban Terror
• Mass Effect
• Mike Tyson’s Punch Out
• Katamari Damacy
• Thrill Kill
• Micro Machines
