Benjamin used to play more games than make them. He also used to strive towards being a professional animator so much he even did an undergraduate degree in the subject. Yet about two and half years into his degree a suprising shift pointed him towards game design and with making Flash titles in his spare time and applying for the MA in Games Design he found a deep passion within himself that would insure he never looked back. Using the skills he had learned in script writing, Flash, Illustrator and pre-production animation he started to make games through the MA whilst learning and honing a multitude of different skills. After achieving a distinction grade and creating “Littleton to the Rescue” on the MA he joined forces with Pete Bottomley to form White Paper Games.
