Film Producer software, as well as editor-in-chief of href="http://www.machinima.com">Machinima.com, the premiere portal site on
the Web for real-time 3D film-making (primarily in game engines). Whilst he

extensive design and development work with several game engines (for the Eschaton
series of Machinima-based films, using Quake II and most recently as
project lead on the Lithtech Film Producer project), journalism in the games
industry for nearly five years (including Machinima.com, online gaming news
site News From The Front and UK gaming magazine NetGamer), and experience
in the pen-and-paper roleplaying industry. Hugh is also an amateur blues guitarist
and knife-fighter, although he can't exactly say how any of that would be
relevant.
