Games




Here is a selection of my completed projects. My earlier games were written in DarkBASIC Professional, but using these as a base for gameplay programming techniques I've started to use Java, C++ and C# with XNA Game Studio Express. The later games are also developed with small teams, rather than just by myself. The majority of the 2D and 3D artwork in all these games was produced by me.




I've been heavily involved with Warwick Game Design, helping to found it in '05 then becoming Publicity Officer in '06/'07 and President in '07/'08. We often run internal 48 hour game development competitions, and most of the later games on this site were produced with the support of members in the society.

Games written in DarkBASIC Professional require DirectX 9.0c to run. Games made using XNA require this too, but also need .NET 2.0 and the XNA framework to run. Other games have the libraries they need included in the download. Please let me know if you've downloaded everything needed and a game still doesn't work.
