Kenji Eno
Kenji Eno is one of the video games industry most reclusive and mysterious developers. He entered the industry at a young age as a composer and went on to own Warp. He has left a legacy of games, often developed for failed consoles, that are classified equally as strange and innovative. After his final game, D2, was released for the Dreamcast, Eno left video games in 2000. He is known for his unpredictable behavior, eccentric tastes, and controversy. In 2008, he annouced his return to video games. With the release of You Me & the Cubes in 2009, Eno returned to his roots, designing and producing video games. Early LifeEno has had a life long interest in video games, citing a special attachment to the 1978 game, Space Invaders. This interest spurred him to develop a game, in an effort to explore synthesizers and techno music, a hobby he could not afford. His game won a competition, but he failed to take his interest in programming any further until his adult life. After dropping out of high school, Eno was initially unsuccessful in acquiring a job, until he applied for the position of programmer with a small company called Interlink. He got the job on the strength of his childhood game. Programming had passed him by, so he was moved around the company until he landed in the sound division, where he was able to make his mark. I applied as a programmer, and I hadn’t programmed anything since I was in elementary school; everything had changed. That’s almost 10 years between when I won and when I was applying for this job. I was like, “What is this hard…hard disk? Wow, great! What, this is MS-DOS? Wow, Microsoft has good ideas!” My boss said, “Maybe you can’t program.” I was almost let go. I said, “But I can compose! I can do planning!" -
