About
Hi, I’m Phil and in my spare time I like to create video games.
For the last 10 years or so I have been C# developer mostly helping build the backend of websites and apps. But my passion has always been video games.
​
Thirty Four Games is the banner I release my games under. Fitting my game dev in between my day job, family commitments and social life I often stay up late at night coding a new feature, watching a tutorial or even just drawing some of my own pixel art and that is how I came up with the name Twelve Thirty Four Games.
​
That’s me in a nutshell and all I want is for you to have fun playing my games and that even for a minute they bring a smile to your face. If they do then who knows maybe you would want to share them with your friends and family.
1997
Humble Beginnings
I've been playing video games for as long as I can remember. My first console was the Sega Mega Drive and I just remember playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 whenever I could. It wasn’t until christmas 1997 when I got a PlayStation and started playing Tomb Raider 2 that I fell in love with video games. The level design, suspense and puzzles got me really immersed and it was then that I realized what games could really be and I was hooked.
Present Day
Fast forward to now and I have decided to not only play games but I want to make them as well. So using my existing skills as a programmer I am learning different aspects of game development with Unity and also dabble in Unreal. My goal is to graduate from what is currently is a “hobby”, to a “side hustle” then hopefully a my job.
