Right, I’ve decided to talk about my educational life and exhibit some of my previous work. I’ll try to keep this interesting as I know how boring these things can be.
I studied at The University of the Arts London (LCC) in Games Design. This course was very practical. The FDA lasted for two years and during this time I received a Merit Plus. I later received a 2.1 (80%) for my full BA (Top up).
Here are some images of my work:
Monkey Mountain
Early Concept Art for Monkey Mountain
The 3D models were sculpted using 3D Studio Max; the textures were made using Photoshop and the game was built using XNA. This project was meant to be a four player game, but due to time constraints it was made into a two player game.

The characters in this game are brightly coloured monkeys with springs on their heads. The levels are set in two tiers. The players have to throw coconuts and pineapples at each other. When a player's health bar reaches zero, their monkey will enter a dazed state. When dazed, the player’s opponent can jump on their head and bounce onto the upper tier. The monkey who reaches the top tier, wins.

These are some images for a project named Pulse. Unfortunately it didn’t get past the concept stage. These images were hand drawn by myself and were coloured using Photoshop.
Fire Safety: Ashes of Regret

This is a ‘serious’ game that teaches fire safety within the work place (In this case a cinema). This is a point and click game where the user has to investigate a fire that killed seventeen people. I really believe that educational games can be a great teaching tool, but they have not been used to their full potential. Watch this space!
