I spent my youth teaching High School Mathematics and Computer Studies, before moving into the business world and delivering tech support, web design and programming improvements.Eventually my love of gaming called and I started to move my programming skills more into that area Gaming is such a fundamentally fun thing to do for many people, and the rise of games in the last generation as an acceptable form of social media has been phenomenal. I believe we're just seeing the start of our gaming future, and am thrilled to see where the journey takes us.Over the years I've released Twos! with Gamemaker on mobile, have helped countless people with my tutorials via my Slyddar Youtube channel, have worked on numerous projects for Opera and Yoyo Games, and am currently working on a top down action game called Keepers of Pyrite.
