Q2. What has inspired you to step into the gaming work?

I have always wanted to make games and started making them for real at 15, I am now 34 and still love it as much as I ever did. I love seeing my creations/ideas come to life.

 

Q3. How has your family and friends supported you?

My partner and children have been instrumental in me doing what I do, I have a great community of people of Twitter and FB that have really helped me, especially in darker times.


Q4. Do you prefer to work alone or in team?

I always prefer to work in a team as I love to bounce ideas off other people.

Q5. What is the fun factor of your work and what makes your work unique?

As a team we love what we do and I think that shows in our work, I love retro games and play a lot of them so our games are usually made for people with a love of older games.

 

Q6. Which improvements did you make in your work over years?

During the years of creating games I have learnt a lot! As an example, Alien Scumbags started out as a game jam title and looked and played very different to what it does now, during the 3 years of development I have created a new lighting engine which has really given it a unique look.

 

Q7. Will you explain the gameplay of Alien Scumbags to readers?

Alien Scumbags is a 2D horror shooter with a unique blend of laughs and scares, it straddles the line between action and horror and takes a lot of inspiration from classics such as Doom, Duke Nukem and Aliens.
