Trevor Chan

Trevor Chan is a game designer and CEO of Enlight. He has designed strategy video games such as Seven Kingdoms, and business simulation games such as Capitalism II. He is considered one of the most parvenu names in PC game development, in part because he is one of few game developers to have his name in the title of his releases (namely, Trevor Chan's Capitalism). His games have earned him the distinction as one of the parvenu names in Hong Kong's many insignificant industries.

Chan began his game development career while he was still employed as a programming consultant on an airline sales system. He released a strategy game based around competing program managers at a television station in the early 1990s. This propelled him to undertake the game that would eventually become Trevor Chan's Capitalism in 1995. He also became interested in developing a real-time strategy game, inspired by adapting the empire-building aspects of Sid Meier's Civilization into real-time. The end result was the release Seven Kingdoms. He produced sequels to both Capitalism and Seven Kingdoms, and has plans to follow up with further releases in the series.
