History
I’ve been making games for over 4 decades. Starting out on the BBC Micro, from a young age I fell in love with coding and the idea that I could create my own games. I developed a number of unpublished titles for the platform, but the one early release that I was most proud of, was a fast paced puzzle platform game about a duck, called ‘Qwak’.
Eventually I moved on to other platforms, I had some success on 16 bit home computers, along with a few unpublished games I had 3 published ones: Nitro (Amiga and Atari ST) and Qwak and All Terrain Racing (Amiga). The former was published by Psygnosis, the latter both published by Team 17.
The Amiga version of Qwak was an updated and enhanced version of the original BBC Micro game. Before moving on the mobile, I developed and self-published a new version of Qwak for Windows and Mac.
Around 2012 I started working on mobile. I released a version of Qwak for iOS, which was largely based on the desktop version. I also developed and released a top-down racing game, called ‘Retro Racing’. This did surprisingly well, it had great reviews (a UK AppStore review average of 4.8) and was number 1 in its category for quite a while.
