I am Janie Wilson-Cook. I am a graduate student in Art History at Northern Illinois University. 

My Art History Master's thesis is on video games in the late 1980's to mid 1990s. The analysis will look at games at that time as examples of post-structuralism and focus on the cultural and educational influences of game developers at that time. I am hoping to have the thesis published in an art history or design journal. 


In-person interviews seem to be problematic so I constructed a survey for those developers from that time period. What I need first person shooter game developers from 23-13 years ago to complete the survey for research purposes. 


Also, if you know any other developers from the time of the research, I would appreciate if you could forward the survey link to them. http://www.interplanetary.net/survey/ 


Most importantly, I assure that no information given to me will be used for any reason but for educational research. This documentation is a very serious endeavor for me. 


Thank you, 


Janie
