Flash Games
The Alien at the Bottom of the Garden
Channel 4 wanted an educational game to accompany Generation XXL, a long-term TV series following seven obese children for a decade, with the brief being to explore issues relating to diet and exercise in a fun (yet tactful) way.
Working with Rob Manuel and nutritional experts, I created a cute and colourful ‘virtual pet’ game that lets players learn interactively by choosing how to look after the alien and then seeing (and dealing with) the consequences.
E4’s Summer of Games
I devised, illustrated and coded three original games for TV channel E4, again collaborating with Rob Manuel.
‘Viral’ Content
As well as creating 50–60 games for clients, I’ve always worked on personal side-projects, using Flash and other technologies. Over the years these have attracted tens of millions of visits, thousands of links, and many offline mentions.
