He’s shipped more than a dozen titles since then, and put his soul into every one. This is why he now has none left. He worked on several games at Sony Computer Entertainment and later became lead programmer on Art Academy, fulfilling a childhood dream to work with Nintendo.
Neil started his own company in 2011, White Bat Games. Now he’s getting stuck into the code and design of Solar Sail’s new project.

With more than twenty shipped titles and multiple credits as Lead Designer, Lead Artist and Creative Director, he has created games based around Pokémon and The Lord of the Rings and has directed projects for Warner Brothers, Disney and Microsoft.
Tancred quit his last job as Creative Director because he didn’t get to make game art anymore. He is now having the time of his life designing and arting the coolest stuff he can think of.
