Tydavnet Gamer success on World stage– Forbes is an American publishing and media company well known for its lists e.g. Richest Americans, and it’s lists of billionaires. Terry Cavanagh, Tullyvogey, Tydavnet has just been listed in the most recent volume as number 5 of “30 under 30”to watch out for in the entertainment industry. Forbes states “These are the people who aren’t waiting to reinvent the world. Forbes presents the 30 people in 12 fields making a difference right now. Today’s disrupters and tomorrow’s brightest stars. Who is reinventing the world? Who should you be working for in 20 years? Who, in short, matters?” The magazine lists Terry as an Irish games developer who “designs smart experimental games like VVVVVV and At a Distance.” Also included with Terry in this elite group are Caroline Wozniacki, tennis player; Will Smith’s son Jaden for his box office mojo with the Karate Kid and Ronan Farrow, a precocious humanitarian activist, the only biological child of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow. Terry scooped a major international award at the IndieCade finals in LA in 2010 and exhibited at the same finals in 2011, after being shortlisted from 446 submissions. His game was also one of 10 nominees for Editor’s Choice Game of the Show at the recent Eurogamer show in London, an excellent achievement from all games playable over 4 days at the event. Terry’s game “At a distance” is one of 8 shortlisted Neuvo Award finalists at the IGF games in San Francisco from 5th to 9th March 2012, the longest-running and largest festival relating to independent games worldwide. The selection process involved all the IGF entries being distributed to more than 150 notable industry judges for evaluation, and their highest recommendations passed on to a set of discipline-specific juries for each award, who debate and vote on their favourites, before Terry was announced as one of the finalists last week, out of nearly 570 game entries. He also received “honorable mention” for another entry “Four Letter Word”, so called because the game’s title is a four letter word from an alien language and is as such unpronounceable. Best wishes Terry, fine achievements!!
