Sean Murray
Hello Games
Sean Murray is a co-founder of Hello Games, a company he helped to build from a tiny indie studio of four friends, into an ambitious and uniquely successful independent development studio in just a few short years.
Coming from considerably larger companies, including EA and Criterion, Murray is a young industry veteran now focused on creating innovative artistic titles with a small creative studio.
He is best known as the creator of the innovative and multi-award winning No Man's Sky: a science fiction exploration game set in an infinite procedural universe, bursting with life, opportunity and adventure. No Man’s Sky became one of the biggest new IPs to emerge this console generation, and was praised a technical miracle, especially from a such a tiny team.
Murray is a designer and managing director, but his first love is programming, with a focus on creating new technologies that push boundaries. Together with his Hello Games team, Sean is starting to look to the horizon and beyond, to the future of gaming.

People should come to Develop because it’s where the UK games industry meets.

One of the things I like about Develop is it brings people together from across Europe and the whole world. There is a very high level of professionals here, so you have company leaders having drinks with juniors from their community.

Building games is hard and it’s taxing physically, mentally and emotionally. So being around a community that understands that is great – there’s a comraderie here.

There really is a huge mix of people at Develop - loads of peers that you can learn from and the perfect blend of every element of game development as well.

I’ve been to every single Develop in the last 12 years. One thing you get here is networking - you will meet the most amazing individuals in the video games industry.

Develop always gets put in the diary. There are many reasons to be here, not just the talks, but the networking, people exchanging ideas about where the industry is right now and where it’s going to. It’s pretty essential to be here I think.
Ian Livingstone, CBE
Develop is an excellent way of catching up with people – there’s a really nice community feel here.

Develop is important – the networking is very important. And go to talks they’re inspiring and get your creative juices flowing, they can make you think and you’ll learn how other people do things.

It’s fantastic to have such an event that provides this opportunity for all the game devs, indie devs and other organisations to get together to showcase what they do, meet and interact.
Rebecca Sampson

A lot of the opportunities that come from being here are speaking to other developers who are doing exactly the same thing as you. And there are some good parties – it’s very much a pleasurable work experience!
