Awards & Nominations

J.M.P. van Waveren has made significant contributions to three generations of id Software technology, providing the foundation for numerous award winning triple-A computer games. Over 100 thousand lines of code were contributed to id Tech 3 (e.g. Quake III Arena and Return To Castle Wolfenstein) which includes over 20% of the id Tech 3 run-time code developed at id Software (the 2nd largest contribution of any programmer at id Software). Over 175 thousand lines of code were contributed to id Tech 4 (e.g. DOOM 3 and Enemy Territory Quake Wars) which includes over 40% of the id Tech 4 run-time code developed at id Software (almost double the contribution of any other programmer at id Software). Over 400 thousand lines of code were contributed to id Tech 5 (e.g. RAGE and Wolfenstein: The New Order), which includes over 30% of the id Tech 5 run-time code developed at id Software (the largest contribution of any programmer at id Software). The physical number of lines of code is not necessarily representative of programming effort. However, within a single project with uniform coding standards it does provide insight into the order of magnitude of a programmer's contribution.

J.M.P. van waveren also made significant contributions to the Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus, as the Engineering Manager of the Oculus Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK). This SDK forms the basis of all Gear VR applications, providing the interface for high performance stereoscopic rendering.

As decided by a large voting body of reviewers, journalists, and writers from a variety of highly regarded media outlets, the 'NAVGTR Awards' recognize the best and brightest video game developers in the most comprehensive awards program covering the video game industry.

At the 5th Annual 'Game Developers Choice Awards' the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) nominated the computer game DOOM 3 for the 'Technology' award for technology developed in part by J.M.P. van Waveren. Considered the 'Pulitzers' of interactive entertainment, the annual 'Game Developers Choice Awards' are the premier accolades for peer-recognition in game development, celebrating creativity, artistry and technological genius.

At the 8th and 15th Annual 'Interactive Achievement Awards' (now known as D.I.C.E. awards) the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) nominated the computer games DOOM 3 and RAGE respectively for the 'Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering' award for technology developed in part by J.M.P. van Waveren. Considered the 'Oscars' of the game industry, the annual, peer-driven 'Interactive Achievement Awards' have become one of the highest honors to bestow upon a video game and its talented developers, celebrating the innovative, creative and artistic achievements that continue to push the boundaries of the video game and interactive entertainment industry.

At the 5th and 13th Annual 'Game Critics Awards' the computer games DOOM 3 and RAGE respectively were recognized with the 'Special Commendation for Graphics' for technology developed in part by J.M.P. van Waveren. As decided by an independent group of 30 leading North American media outlets that cover the video game industry, the prestigious 'Game Critics Awards' recognize the hands-on playable games at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) that will shape the future of interactive entertainment
