Games as a Hobby
This website is designed to talk about the role of games within my life.
There are three main topics that will be covered; my history with games, how I'm involved with them now, and how I see myself involved with them in future.
This webpage will talk about each topic briefly, as well as act as an easy pathway to the other webpages covering the three topics.
To access a different webpage, please use the navbar or a link within one of the sections.
A gallery will be included which holds the images used in making the website.

My History With Games
My history with games dates back quite far - I don't remember the exact date, but I first got involved around 2003. I've played games on a number of varying platforms in my early years.

Eventually, during my GCSE's, I was able to visit two studios to give me insight into how games are made. This, combined with the fact I was studying a programming laungauge at the time, helped push me towards choosing games development as my university course of choice. Read more here...

Games In The Future
Once I finish my studies at university, there are a few paths I have considered taking. The ideal path would be to set up an indie studio (or 'independent developer') and be able to freely make games using ideas formed throughout my life. One type of game I would like to make is a blend between real time strategy, 3rd person character controlling & top down multi-character controlling, and a lengthy singleplayer experience.
