Yu, currently employed by Naughty Dog to work on PlayStation 4 projects, created her first video game at age 12, before she knew that anyone else in the world created digital playgrounds for a living. Like Brenda Romero, Kyogaku also worked on a Wizardry title, Tale of the Forsaken Land. During her work on Animal Crossing: New Leaf, she emphasized the game’s fun, sense of exploration, and calmness as both a contributor toward and a result of the peaceful gender diversity on the development team. She also served as a writer on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure. Kyogoku was co-director of Animal Crossing: New Leaf, teaming up with Isao Moro to produce the highest Metacritic-ranked game in the Animal Crossing series.

She has won two Video Game Writing Awards from the Writers Guild of America, while Uncharted 3, which she wrote and directed with other developers, won a slew of Game of the Year awards in 2011, following in the footsteps of its lauded predecessors. Previously, she was creative director and head writer for the Unchartedfranchise, beginning with Drake’s Fortune, and contributed to the Jak and Daxter series.

Hennig made the news recently when it was announced that she would serve as writer and creative director for Visceral Studios’ upcoming Star Wars title. Wolfkill’s next work will presumably be the sequel to Halo 4. It has been her task to spearhead the 343i team not only on Halo 4and beyond but also to keep track of the spin-off comics, novels, and other material that make up the franchise.

Currently Executive Producer of the Halo franchise at Microsoft Studios, Kiki Wolfkill previously served as an art director for Microsoft projects including Project Gotham Racing, Mass Effect, Gears of War, and Forza Motorsport.
