While some view his work on Capcom's \u003ci\u003eMega Man\u003c\/i\u003e series as a pivotal contribution to the gaming industry, others question his very claim to the title of game designer. No matter one's stance, however, Inafune's work inspires passionate discussions about video game design and its history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this book, Andrew Schartmann explores seven core principles that permeate Inafune's output and constitute his creative \"voice.\" He also draws on Inafune's controversial persona to probe the very definition of \"video game designer\"-a term problematized by the collaborative aspect of game design and the industry's Wonka-esque obsession with secrecy. With high-profile games like \u003ci\u003eMega Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStreet Fighter \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eResident Evil\u003c\/i\u003e, Inafune's repertoire provides an ideal lens through which to explore the nuts and bolts of game design and the many forces that shape it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Schartmann\u003c\/b\u003e is a faculty member at the New England Conservatory, USA.
