Personal
My past and present interests include: Software development, chocolate, electronics, rock climbing, squash, netball, chocolate, live music, game development, and chocolate. Did I mention chocolate?
I enjoy chocolate from these guys (though these guys are pretty good too).
I have been known to enjoy: Futurama, Firefly, Game of Thrones (not s8), Family Guy, Buffy, and Iron Chef. I enjoy shows that play with and defy your expectations, particularly deconstructions. Naturally, I'm a fan of TV Tropes.
Game Development
I have been involved in successful commercial game development as part of a team, as a sole independent game developer, and in a hobby capacity.
Some of the games I have worked on are:
- E.V.E. Paradox: A game suite of five games that I successfully developed as a sole independent developer as part of my business, Entropic Software. I took this project from initial concept through development to completion, sales and support. Whilst it was a technical success, it was sadly not a commercial one. Still, it was a significant accomplishment and I learnt a fair bit. More information can be found here.
- XBlast: A multi-player Dynablaster-inspired game. As co-author, I added a fair amount of new functionality and many new levels back in my Uni days.
- A commercial car racing game: I worked on the physics, control code, and initial networking, amongst other things.
- Crossfire: I made some small contributions to reduce the severity of character death and balance low levels in this game.
- Stun Chasey: My first ever attempt at shareware. :) This was a game for the Amiga. You have probably never heard of it, unless you tried a lot of Aminet software.
- Raid of the Easter Eggs: My first game with a wide audience. This Easter-themed game was apparently a hit at my old primary school. It involved sneaking around the house collecting easter eggs before your family woke up. I wrote it whilst in high school.
- Literally dozens of small, unreleased games for the Amiga and C64.
Electronics
