We've got some sad news to report today – Jon Miller, who created the widely-used G.E.M.S. sound driver for the Genesis / Mega Drive, has passed away.
Miller started his career at Sega back in 1991, working on the Mega Drive title Spider-Man as a programmer. He would also perform the same role on Chakan: The Forever Man, Taz-Mania, Taz in Escape from Mars and Pink Goes to Hollywood during his time with the company.
His other credits include Champions World Class Soccer (1993, Genesis), X-Men 2: Clone Wars (1995, Genesis), Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (1996, PlayStation), Gex: Enter the Gecko (1998), Akuji: The Heartless (1998, PlayStation) and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (1999).
"G.E.M.S. was definitely the best sound driver/editor that was made available to the general public during the first half of the 90's. I absolutely loved it... Before G.E.M.S., we as composers/sound designers had almost nothing."
