American McGee


            “I want to be the next Walt Disney, only a little more wicked” (American). This is the mission statement of game developer American McGee.  So far he has proven this to be true. American McGee was born on “December 13th, 1972” (American) and he is currently “living in Shanghai, China” (American). American McGee is running his own game company Spicy Horse

He has developed several world renowned titles such as American McGee’s Alice, its sequel Alice Madness Returns, and American McGee’s Grim. Before McGee created his own company he worked for “id software”, He was a level designer for such games as Doom II, Quake, and Quake II” (American). After he left “id software,”, “In 1998 he moved to Electric Arts, working as a creative director” (American). 

            McGee has worked on over 19 game titles including the one he produced himself. He is constantly pushing his company forward; his goal is to “to create a unified production method for story telling across the interactive and film industries” (American).

            “When not at work he enjoys exploring Shanghai and China, tinkering with electric scooters, sailing, learning Chinese, learning cello, and cooking spicy food” (American). McGee is an artist of many talents who has achieved much in such a short time. Who knows maybe he will be the next Walt Disney.
