About the author

Chris Zimmerman co-founded the video game studio Sucker Punch Productions in 1997 and led the coding team through twenty-plus years of successful video games, including three Sly Cooper games and five inFamous games, culminating in 2020's Game of the Year candidate Ghost of Tsushima. He split his time between designing and writing code, like the melee combat in Ghost, and the day-to-day work of building and managing a twenty-something person coding team. Prior to Sucker Punch, Chris spent roughly a decade at Microsoft, but the things he worked on there were much less interesting. He graduated from Princeton in 1988, and as a result owns more orange clothing than you do.
