I’m incredibly excited to share that I’ve joined Meta.

I’m kicking off a new chapter as Game Director at Beat Games in Prague.

Beat Games and Beat Saber have had a huge impact on the industry, I couldn’t be more excited to join this amazing team to help shape the future of VR, XR and beyond.

I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave Sumo Digital, I’ll be wrapping up at the end of the week. To all my Sumo colleagues past and present, thank you so much for being a part of my game dev journey, it’s been a genuine pleasure and I wish you all nothing but huge success for the future.

Cracked it! I have to say I’ve really enjoyed Black Ops 6. Big shout out to the campaign missions, especially β€œHunting Season”. I would really love to see a full COD game in that more open style. #BlackOps6

Oh I agree 100% Emily, it’s more that I’ve not been allowed to talk about my work for a significant part of my career. I wasn’t clear on that to be fair. πŸ™‚

Shinobi was my goto on my Game Gear. I loved that handheld.

Such a tune! I find that many of The Chemical Brothers tracks still stand the test of the time. Partial to some Star Guitar too.

GunSuit Guardians on Steam Gear up your GunSuit and defend Earth from an alien siege! Equip and upgrade unique arsenals of overpowered weapons to survive overwhelming numbers in this action-roguelite twin-stick horde survival.

I really enjoyed Gunsuit Guardians, created by solo dev Matt Glanville. I had a ton of fun with it.

It's funny/kinda depressing how I can spend more time talking about my DJing than my 25 year game career!

Super excited to be DJing at my first festival this Summer. It's an honor to be on the lineup with Roger Sanchez, Heather Small of M People fame, Craig Charles, Gok Wan and loads more incredible talent, all at Wonderland Festival in Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire.

There's not much to fight - I think the Batman movies are great, but for me, the spectacle and imagination of his other movies outshine them."

Currently continuing the journey to Prestige Master in Black Ops 6. I had a couple of year break from #CallOfDuty enjoying my time with this one.

I’ve always felt that with the Switch, Nintendo discovered their ideal form factor - a strong blend of their most successful platforms. Allowing them to occupy both handheld and home console spaces seamlessly. Continuing with this approach for #Switch2 seems to align with that thinking.

PoP was my title of 2024. Loved SW: Outlaws. Helldivers II made gaming social again, Space Marine II & Indy - great player fantasy. The Blops 6 campaign was fun. Astro Bot a delight & I caught up with Spider-Man & Death Stranding. Bring on 2025. #topnine2024 #topnine #Nintendo #playstation #xbox

Finally got myself a #Quest3 over the holiday. Would love to hear what your goto game is, along with another recommendation. #VR
