Rick

Lead Designer

Rick is Lead Game Designer and brings his passion for games, film and music to everything he does.

Why do you love being a Game Designer?

“There are two main reasons why I love game design. Firstly, I love to solve problems, and I look at game design as a series of problems to solve to make the game the best it can be. Secondly, design is so broad a subject, one day you are reviewing a location design, the next a UI flow. No two days are ever the same.”

Why do you love being an Environment Artist?

or something from the art teams imagination. It is a very challenging but equally rewarding job role.”
