The veteran game designer announced on Twitter that he’s stepped down from his role at TT Games, the studio responsible for almost every single

video game since the original : The Videogame arrived in 2005.

“I have a lifetime of memories working with THE BEST people on 30 or so brilliant games,” he said. “It has been an amazing journey, and I am thankful to have had the opportunities I have over the years.

“I could probably fill a YouTube channel with memories there are that many! I am sad to leave behind my work family, some of whom I’ve effectively grown up with, and many of whom I have seen flourish, but I am excited by whatever the future holds. Thanks for a fantastic ride.”

After an incredible 22 years working at Tt Games today was my last day. I have a lifetime of memories working with THE BEST people on 30 or so brilliant games.
It has been an amazing journey, and I am thankful to have had the opportunities I have over the years. 1/2
