Jason Darby

I am a Lead Designer who has been working in the games industry for over 14 years. I've worked on a number of games in various capacities including Sea of Thieves, Action VR Game (cancelled), Flight School, Flight Sim World, Train Sim World, Fishing Pro Tour, Formula 1 (2011 to 2016). I've also worked on a number of mobile titles and currently working on my own indie title for PC on STEAM. As a child I would spend time in the local library and at home trying to read as many video game creation books as possible. Unfortunately I wasn't really that cut out for programming so I spent most of my time trying to learn game creation tools such as GAC, PAW, SEUCK. It wasn't until a program called Klik and Play came along that I really got the game making bug. After quite a few years of using various tools such as K&P, Click & Create and the Games Factory, I started writing game making articles for magazine publications such as PC Format, PC Answers, and Retro Gamer. It was while doing this in 2004 I released my first book - Make Amazing Games in Minutes. So my book writing career began. I've written a large number of books with the aim of helping others achieve their dream of making their very own video games.
