Lucy Bradshaw has to start the list with her work on the Sims beginning in the year 2000. Lucy and the Maxis team created a game that would be named the best selling PC game to date. The Sims is also credited for bringing more women into playing games. Lucy Bradshaw now leads the efforts of the Maxis team on the various Spore titles. She is an amazing speaker and is always pushing the industry forward.
Lucy had big shoes to fill for 2009 as Will Wright stepped down and she became head of Maxis. With many projects in the pipeline it’s no wonder why we haven’t heard much from her – she’s just been too dang busy! Now that 2010 has arrived, perhaps we shall hear more from her this year with the projects that Maxis is currently putting together.
