David Jones was the founder of DMA Design and executive producer from 1988 until 2000.
Jones founded DMA Design in 1988, releasing the game Menace. The game sold 15,000 copies and earned him £20,000, which he used to buy a car. DMA Design expanded and went on to make a second game, Blood Money, which Jones saw as a "further development" of the concept used in Menace. DMA created a third game in 1991, Lemmings, which was commercially and critically successful, resulting in awards including winning European Game of the Year twice. Over the next two years Lemmings sold over 2 million copies,
After the release of Syndicate Wars in 1996, the company revised the concept to set it in a "living city" and cross it with a driving game, resulting in the successful and controversial Grand Theft Auto. In 2012 Jones revealed that much of the controversy surrounding Grand Theft Auto was engineered by their publicist.
DMA Design was soon after acquired by Gremlin Interactive, starting a chain of purchases that resulted in the studio becoming Rockstar North. Jones stayed with the company through 1999 and Grand Theft Auto 2 before leaving.
Over the years after leaving, Jones founded several more video game studios which he mostly staffed with ex-DMA Design employees. These studios include Realtime Worlds and nWay Inc. He was the director at Denki for 18 years after leaving DMA Design and is currently the creative fellow at Epic Games.
