I've always been a big fan of turn based strategy games. I like to plan and think about each move, none of the fast thinking required by RTS games (maybe I'm just getting old LOL). Although there are some great TBS games out there, I think there are many more just waiting to be born.
My favourite games of all time are the Heroes of Might & magic series (if I had to pick one, it would probably be III). I'm also a big fan of Civ VI. The TBS games that got me hooked so many years ago were Laser Squad, shortly followed by Battle Isle on my trusty old Amiga (ah, the good old days).

If you can't be happy with nothing, nothing will make you happy.
Career Summary
I've been programming as long as I can remember. I graduated from a Computing Science degree in 1997 and got my first real job as a web developer. After a couple of years of that I set up a web design company with two colleagues.
That company is still going strong, but all the time I was develoing websites, I was also designing and writing games in my spare time. Last year (2006) I decided to focus my efforts on game development and my first game Wu Hing: The Five Elements was relased in November 2006.
My second game, Treasures of Ra is due for release very soon.
