I’ve been making video games for over 17 years. These days I’m a game designer (you can check out the titles I’ve worked on here) but I started out as a tester.

I was 20 years old and I got a job playing video games for a living. What could go wrong?

It turned out that all kinds of weird things happen when making video games, like a boss pinning a man down and threatening him with a dart, a programmer going for a swim in a toxic pond and a member of staff trying to run away, only to be taken hostage and dragged back to the office.

With so much to tell I decided to write a book called “Pizza Whores – Will Test Video Game for Food”, because that’s what we did most of the time, worked long hours for only the additional extra pay of free food.

Although the manuscript is finished (you can get a copy for your Kindle on Amazon and you can read early drafts of a few chapters on the blog), call me old fashioned but a book isn’t really a book until you can leaf through its pages, put it on a shelf or pass it on to friends.

My aim with this campaign is to raise $10,000 to cover the cost of the first printing of the book, distribution and marketing. With physical copies of the book I’ll be able to get some real traction spreading these unique, revealing, bizarre, and funny stories of life inside the games industry.

And, of course, getting a copy of the book, a signed copy of the book and even an acknowledgment in the book, are all perks.

Even if can’t contribute with your hard earned cash, please, please, please, spread the word!

Thank you!
