Welcome to my portfolio page. I'm Richard Perrin, an independent video game designer/developer living in London. I also sometimes write or talk about video games and other forms of interactive storytelling. Listed below are some of the things that I've done, including links to where to find them.

What I Have To Say

Submitted by admin on Sat, 28/08/2010 - 08:57

Included below is a 45 minute video of a talk and demonstration I gave at AmeCon 2010 (a UK anime/manga/gaming convention) to encourage more people to make video games.

I tried to break down some of the misconceptions that might dissuade people from making games and offer some tips I've learned through bitter experience. I also talked through the tools and resources people can use when starting out to make game development easier.
