About Josh
Indie Games Developer
I am an aspiring games designer, writer and Co-Founder of the Indie games company Second Ronin.
I have completed a distance learning course on games design, which has given me a keen eye for detail and a vast amount of editorial skill and creative design. I am very enthusiastic about creative writing and designing my own projects
I spend most of my free time writing stories and characters to incorporate into my games and projects
I have had much experience with solo work because of my course, in which I have had to set my own deadlines and schedule my time correctly. I have also done a vast majority of group work and team based jobs, making me suitable and comfortable with either.
In my personal time, I like to participate in several athletic activities. These include Kendo, Kenjutsu, HEMA and various martial arts.
​
Finally I am extremely passionate about games. I love playing games and using them to create ones for myself. I also review some games online too!
