Work
Through his 3000AD company, Smart has developed a total of sixteen games to date, across his various franchise properties; most of which are derivative works. Through his Quest Online company, he also worked on the completion of the MMO Alganon as well as that game's expansion pack, Rise of the Ourobani. In 2008, Smart's 3000AD company has entered a partnership with GamersGate, covering the digital distribution of the Universal Combat series as well as upcoming releases planned by 3000AD, Inc.
Derek Smart is a board member of the Miami chapter of the International Game Developers Association. In 1996, Take 2 Interactive released his first game, Battlecruiser 3000AD.
