Indie Video Game Designers Break Through

CNN.com writes:

In the second grade, James Silva didn't just play "Mario" and "Zelda" on his Nintendo but drew pictures of new levels and cooked up ideas for future games.

While other kids dreamed of becoming an astronaut or president, he felt destined to be a video game designer.

Conquering space or politics might have been easier.

Besides a good idea, game developers have needed a distribution deal to get their work on consoles like the Xbox or PlayStation.

And over the years, the industry has been shrinking to a handful of big players that use large teams of in-house programmers.

But Silva is a one-man game maker for the Xbox 360.

Yasuke, he was a samurai who served under Nobunaga and was in fact black. However that is where his foot note in history begins and ends as he seemingly did nothing of note throughout his service.

There are far better general's they could have focused on who had major moments in history... But nope.

EDIT: I do want to add though, that since there is nothing of note from him in history, it does open up what you can do from a fictional writing stand point.
