Tonda Ros, creator of Blue Prince, has played UFO 50 for almost 700 hours: ‘I think it’s easily my favourite game of the last 20 years’
Tonda Ros, creator of 2025 game Blue Prince, is featured in PC Gamer’s “Disk Cleanup” profile series, which explores the gaming setups and preferences of prominent PC gaming figures. Ros discovered PC gaming at age seven through Beast, an action-based, nonlinear game, and was profoundly influenced by early titles including Tank Wars, SimCity, and Star Control on a household 386 PC. These formative experiences shaped Ros’s approach to interactive entertainment design.
Beyond game development, Ros has established a career as a cinematographer and visual artist, beginning game creation in 2016. According to the article, Ros has invested nearly 700 hours in UFO 50, a collection of 50 retro-style games, calling it “easily my favourite game of the last 20 years.” The extensive playtime and enthusiasm underscore Ros’s appreciation for the collection’s depth and design variety.
