Denis Dyack , Founder and President
Silicon Knights

Denis Dyack is the founder and president of Silicon Knights. In this capacity, he oversees the creation and development of games, and continues to further the growth of the company. Dyack is a noted authority on interactive software development and offers valuable insight into the process of designing next-generation games that appeal to the masses. Under Dyack'’s direction, Silicon Knights has evolved into one of the world's largest independent interactive software developers.

Dyack (B. Phed, H. B.Sc, M. Sc.)  founded Silicon Knights in 1992 after publishing "Cyber Empires" in 1991.  Since that time, Silicon Knights has moved from creating PC games to premiere AAA console titles, such as "Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain" for the original Playstation. 

Working with Nintendo as a second party, Silicon Knights created the critically acclaimed "Eternal Darkness".  Together with Nintendo, Silicon Knights worked with Konami to create another critically acclaimed game, "Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes”.  Dyack and his team are currently working with Microsoft® on the "Too Human Trilogy™" for the Xbox 360.  In August 2008, the company released the first game in that trilogy.

Beyond interactive software, Dyack is a member of the Peter Drucker Society and works closely with several universities, including MIT and Brock University.
