38+ years shaping interactive entertainment. From Lemmings to VR, from indie to Disney — building worlds, leading teams, and pushing the medium forward.
Neill Glancy is a visionary Game Director and Creative Executive with over three decades of shipped titles spanning console, PC, mobile, and VR. He has led cross-functional teams of up to 65 developers and guided projects from initial concept through gold master — consistently delivering AAA-quality experiences on budget and on time.
His work spans the breadth of the industry: from early-generation Amiga titles and the iconic Lemmings, through AAA console development at Midway, Disney, and Certain Affinity, to cutting-edge VR direction at Aspyr where his DICE-nominated title Torn achieved a perceived production value four times its actual budget.
Most recently, Neill spent two years as Senior Design Director at Universal's internal innovation division, defining large-scale metaverse ecosystem architecture and shaping the future of immersive digital entertainment. He is based in Austin, TX and available for senior creative leadership roles.
