In Feb 2018, upon the closure of Natural Motion Oxford I, along with two other ex-colleagues decided to go it on our own and form our own micro studio.
The result is Actual Games.
​
We're currently working actively on two mobile game prototypes.
All of the work below is from our first, A collectable character battle game currently titled 'Collectables'
​
As part of Actual games I have also contracted my services to EdPlus as a UI and UX designer, as well as to Internet of Elephants where I created Logos, Concept art and marketing materials, UI and UX concepts and assets as well as character illustration for their upcoming game, Wildeverse.
​
Unfortunately, both of these projects are too early in development to allow work to be included here.

UI and UX design
I use Marvel app to quickly create interactive UX flows. These can then be populated with representative, or even final quality art and animations to mimic the final product.
​
I've used this process very successfully for Natural Motion, Edtopia, Internet of Elephants and Actual Games.
​
Below is a video walk through of the UX prototype for Collectables.

Animation
Although I've worked many times as a animator (and indeed possess a 1st class degree in animation) I would never class myself as AAA.
​
I mostly use my animation skills to proof out ideas, mock up game play concepts etc.
​
I've recently had to create a lot of full character animation for our game. To do this practically in the time we had. I devised a style that emphasised my strong points (and was fairly quick to produce).
you can find some examples of my work below.
