A living legend of the computer games industry will open the next Friday (12th August) and give a public talk about the creation of his groundbreaking game ‘Elite’ and life as an independent games developer.David Braben, the founder of Frontier Developments, is recognised worldwide as one of the leading innovators in videogame development technology and design.

The space-trading simulator amazed sci-fi fans with its interstellar missions presented with wireframe 3D graphics, eight galaxies to explore, and thousands of procedurally generated planets. At the talk, David will discuss the genesis of the space-trading sim that went on to inspire titles like Eve Online, Freelancer, Wing Commander: Privateer, and many other sci-fi games. Frontier has since created a wide range of successful titles including ‘Kinectimals’, ‘Roller Coaster Tycoon’ and ‘Lost Winds’.As well as an enviable position at the forefront of the computer games industry for almost 30 years, David Braben is also behind the pioneering Raspberry Pi Foundation to bring affordable USB-sized computers to schools across Britain.This ambitious project is motivated by David’s passionate commitment to give school children a chance to learn computer programming in a fun way at a young age – something he believes is essential for the UK to remain a leader in high-tech industries.David said: “I have always been impressed by the standard of the Dare to be Digital games.
