Hi! I’m Ben, a game programmer from the UK. I started writing games with my sister when I was eight. With just a few commands in BASIC we created all kinds of worlds in text adventure games.

It’s been a while since I was eight and a lot has happened, including a degree in biochemistry, writing a book and creating a vegan recipe website. However, I never stopped playing games and increasingly I’ve realised that I don’t just want to play them, I want to be making them too. The creativity that captivated my imagination back then hasn’t changed, in fact I’m even more fascinated by the worlds we can imagine and bring to life in games.

After some serious consideration I realised this wasn’t just a fun idea, it’s a solid option that matches my need to be creative and the career path and working environment I want. So, here I am! I’m still near the beginning of my journey and have plenty to learn. If this journey is interesting to you then I’d love to connect on social media.
