Welcome
My name is Simon Phipps. I am a UK-based artist and videogame designer (as well as, at various times, web designer, video podcast presenter and programmer...) and I've had the privilege of being able to make videogames professionally since 1984.
This site began as a spare time project in 2003 when I decided I ought to learn something about building content for the Internet and documenting the various games I've worked on seemed to be a logical source of content for a website.
The site now serves as my online portfolio, allowing me to show off my work as a game designer and some of the non-game-related artwork that I create for my own entertainment that no one else would otherwise see.
It's also given me an opportunity to acknowledge all the brilliant folks I've had the pleasure of meeting and working with over the years. To you all - I hope I haven't forgotten anyone or your contributions and that, most importantly, I've been fair in my reporting of our collected stories while riding the rollercoaster that is making and shipping a game. (If I've made a mistake - please mail me, there's a link at the bottom of the page.)
The other brilliant thing about having this site is that it's become a way for people who've enjoyed some of the games I've worked on to say hello. To everyone who's been in touch since I created the site - thank you - it's an amazing feeling to think that work you perhaps did two decades ago is still remembered fondly.
Take a look around and thanks for stopping by.Simon
