A game of my own

I've designed, 'programmed' and built all the art assets for an infinite runner called "SpeedRun Neo Toyko", as a demonstration of what to aim for by students studying on the BA Games Design course at Brunel University, where I lecture.

The game was built in Clickteam Fusion 2.5, runs at 1080p (with retro-style scanlines) and is intended for PC, smartphone or tablet use. At the moment, it only available runs on Windows.

Mobile App development

I'm teaching another new course, this time in mobile app development. We're using a system called MobileNation, which is a little buggy, but if you use some ingenuity it's possible to get a respectable business app out of it (no games, though, unfortunately!).

As a class demo, I built an app for the college, a few screens of which I've included below. Shown on iOS.

Pixel Art

Some icon designs that I did for Xerox. Old news, but I still like them. It was a fun challenge only using black, white and 2 shades of grey.

Vector animation

This is a the same animation as below, designed for a more advanced machine with high resolution colour graphics. Flash.

Pixel Art animations

More pixel art from my days at Xerox. These were animations that ran on photocopier screens to direct users through tasks. Made with Flash and drawn frame by frame.

Vector icons

Exterior button graphics for photocopiers. Made at Xerox. Illustrator.

Pixel Art screen design

The first image is of a ground-up replacement UI I designed for a browser-based database application. Minimal design elements left space for a large quantity of fields, whilst the framework was able to accomodate many different layouts with a consistent feel. Running in IE6. 2002.

The icons are from an update I did to the previous Windows-based client software.
