Brenda Louise Romero (nee Garno born on 12 October 1966) was previously called Brenda Brathwaite, is an American game designer and creator in the field of video games. Born in Ogdensburg, New York and graduated from Clarkson University. Romero is most well-known for her work in her work on the Wizardry series of video role-playing games and, most recently, on the digital game The Mechanic is the Message. She has been involved on game development since the year 1981, and has credits on over 49 games.

In 2007 Romero was named as one of the top 100 powerful women within the gaming sector in Next Generation magazine. Nerve magazine named her an “New Radical” — one of “the 50 artists, actors, authors, activists and icons who are making the world a more stimulating place”. The year 2009 was the time that Next Generation magazine identified her as the person with the longest- running continuous career in the field of video game development.

Síochán leat (Irish for “peace be with you”) chronicles the history of her children’s heritage. Romero made the game following The New World, a game she originally made to teach her daughter about the slave trade. Romero designed Síochán leat to teach her daughter about her Irish heritage and traces the family’s history from the Cromwellian invasion of Ireland to their ancestor’s eventual immigration into the West Indies on the paternal side and Canada on the maternal side. The game features a burlap pillow simulating an earthen mound covered by 26 pieces of grass, each representing a county in Ireland. In a talk given at the Austin Game Developers Conference in September 2009, Romero noted that the burlap was filled with mementos of her upbringing and her heritage, including photographs of her great grandfather, Paddy Donovan, and one of her mother’s rosaries. On her blog, Romero notes that, “the game is signed in many ways and is highly autobiographical. It is my history and it also reveals my feelings about its present state.”

Of the six, Train has received the most attention, and won the Vanguard Award at Indiecade in October 2009 for “pushing the boundaries of game design and showing us what games can do.” Train was also featured in the Wall Street Journal as well as on game industry sites including Gamasutra, where it received accolades for its ability to evoke meaning through gestures, the Escapist Magazine, Extra Credits, and on Kotaku. Romero delivered Train: How I Dumped Electricity and Learned to Love Design at the 2010 Gamesauce Conference.
