About Me

Hi, I’m Billy, a game developer and gamer from Cornwall, UK. Currently lead developer of award winning games studio Art Of Play Games, I’ve been a gamer since the early 80s and have been designing and building games since 2003. Before that I founded Kernow Web Designs and my web design skills slowly transitioned over to game development as I found it more fulfilling and interesting than building web sites.

On this site you’ll find a select portfolio of games I’ve been lucky enough to work on for a wide range of clients including Nickelodeon, BBC, Hasbro, Disney, Jaguar, Lidl, Smiggle and more on a wide range of well known brands including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, Transformers, Spongebob Squarepants, Paw Patrol, Star Wars and many more. Please check out some of the games in the portfolio for more details on specific projects.

I’m pretty much platform agnostic, and work with a wide range of technologies in an ever changing online landscape to create games for consoles, PC/Mac, the web, mobile, social media games, “Instant Games”, interactive adverts, and other forms of multimedia such as interactive competitions, and AR/VR experiences. If you have an interesting project and are looking for a developer or consultant to join your team, please reach out for a chat.

You’ll also find my résumé, contact details, and some info on various side projects and experiments should you be interested in taking a look, along with the usual social media links etc.

When I’m not building games you’ll mostly find me playing with my 2 young sons (also budding gamers!), training and teaching Tang Soo Do (Korean Karate), Wado Ryu (karate) and kickboxing, trail running (mostly ultra distance), cooking, reading or writing.
