My name is Richard Tyrer and I'm a professional game designer!

My journey in the computer games industry began in 2008, when I was headhunted by Climax Studios whilst studying game design in my final year at university. I graduated as the top student with the highest marks, was awarded Best Student/Project and re-located to Portsmouth to begin my career as a video-game designer.

Since then I have worked on four published titles and have been credited as the Lead Designer on my most recently released game.
