Hi, I’m Nick, welcome to RetroBreak! 

I studied game design at college, and university. Find out about my game dev journey on my website here 

The first game I ever made was made in powerpoint and spanned several floppy disks! It was called Hiarkin and it’s mostly lost to time now. I recently found a bunch of other PowerPoint games I made back then! They are all awful, but I had fun revisiting them in this video.

When I finished school I decided to pursue Game Design. I learned a few basics at College, but really all that was good for was playing on the DS all day, and occasional rounds of Smash Bros on the projector. I did upload a flash game called On The Edge Of Time.

Next came university and I wanted to take another step on the path of becoming a game designer, the first playable game I released was Quantum Shift, a game I made as the project part of my Final Year Project. 

After Uni I got a job in IT, during the past few years my understanding of coding has got much better and I decided to try and get some more practise  by making and releasing a short game called BLAST AREA.

Later that year, I released a game called Super Donuts for iOS and Android. Later this year, Super Donuts is coming back as a full brand new PC release! Check back here soon!

In 2024, I took part in the GMTK Game Jam and created a Tetris Plus inspired Platformer called Construction Chaos.

Outside of game dev, I spend my time making weekly retro gaming content on YouTube.
