Broken Mind, a Gameboy game playable online or on a real Gameboy cartridge! I scaled back my Unity build to focus on the story, embracing the limitations of the Gameboy to enhance the narrative. Developing it was a blast, from taking photos with the Gameboy Camera to creating pixel art and testing on hardware!

Tweet Live TV was a web app I built that utilised the Twitter stream to capture Tweets in real-time. Users could then post comments and complete other basic Twitter functions that gave a community feel to the entire site. This was a POC for a new platform I had in mind that would allow event organisers to create 'Twitter chat rooms'.

Launchpad was an innovation framework I created, it was designed to take people through the experience of generating an idea and creating a prototype. I had been running this as Meetup for well over a year during which I took a lean approach, adapting parts that didn't work from feedback collected. The presentations led me into new fields of creating tools to help with the process of prototyping

This game was released on Android and is a 'pick, match and drop' type of game. The challenge lay in trying to keep the rising blocks from reaching the top. To create this game I used several tools such as Stencyl and Affinity Designer

Taking the philosophy of making the complicated, simple. This website built native Android apps out of any website in a similar fashion to Cordova, the difference being I only required three details, 1: the website, 2: a theme colour and 3: an app Icon. Although it all worked and I still use it, I never got round to creating a front end for it.

This was an Android native app that I built, it was designed to take a number of social networks and integrate them into one app using the networks web app. This made my app tiny, fast and really simple to use. The final size of the app was less than 2mb and included all the popular social apps! I wanted to hit an audience that was considerate of their data usage, storage and app permissions.

I built this device using an Arduino mini, old Nokia 5510 screen and two thermometers to aid in the process of home brewing. I had a problem when brewing whereby I found myself constantly swapping my one thermometer between boils, so I built this device to help. If you're interested, I put all the kit and instructions on Hackaday.com.

The Southern Scuba website was an interesting project, in that, it had to be built using Wordpress (the platform the owners felt most comfortable with). This project involved setting up the website, migrating old content, adding new content and even redesigning their logo for the school.

This app was simply one of my websites wrapped up in a web view and then packaged as an Android app. The purpose of this app was to get a presence on the Andriod play store, however, It wasn't as straightforward as I'd imagined it would be, there were a few 'gotchas' with the web view, for example, rotating the screen would not re-render the website, tapping a volume button would cause the app to exit and not all the content sized correctly. Once I finally managed to resolve these issues I had a nice looking app, it then when live where no one downloaded it :)

This was a game I made for Android, it took advantage of the phone's gyroscope for interactivity, the concept of the game was inspired by an older game, I put my unique twists on it, the most noticeable was a feature called 'air support' this feature made the game hectic and a bit more challenging. On another note, It was the first time I tried selling a game on the Play store and although I made a few sales, I never got to retire :)

This was my second attempt at making a game that frustrated players enough to try again. The concept was simple and the game was frustrating, interestingly, this game attracted more plays than Power Glove Monkey, but fewer comments. I could only assume that players prefer the art style of this game but less so the concept. That being said, I was still proud of this game and even set a cash prize on Reddit for the highest score

In the heat of the 'Flappy Birds' excitement, I challenged myself to make a game as equally frustrating and challenging. The requirements for the game were simple, get players to press 'again' as soon as they died. This game received the most feedback from players who genuinely enjoyed the concept

Lord, give me colours, was a simple application idea I had to flash several colours to the user every two seconds, the user could then tap to 'capture' the colours in a bid to inspire creativity. What started as a 'simple' idea introduced several challenges and learning curves along the way, specifically accessing SD cards on a mobile device, creating folders, saving, and resizing. All very good experience, however

Building this game turned into a monolithic challenge. I wanted to build a match 3 system, but being pretty bad with mathematics I had to find an alternative approach. In the end, I went for a physics engine and object collision to overcome the challenge of the logic. Although the game is playable, the final result was far from ideal and in retrospective, I would look to decrease the memory usage.

This game in hindsight, was overly ambitious. I wanted to create a mech battle game in a confined area, very much like the film, Battle Royale. Although I never finished the game, I was very proud of how far I got with it. I even inspired a digital artist to help by creating 3d renders of mech cockpits!
