My name is Matt, I live in England and I started out making Flash games in 2005. A friend and I started rustyarcade, which is a Flash game site. We made many independent games as a hobby and reached millions of players across the globe. In 2007 I went into programming full time and worked for many companies doing everything from new media advertising to online gambling. After I 'earned my stripes' as a professional programmer, I decided it was time to take the plunge and go it alone! In 2014 I started Epic Industries Ltd. I am the CEO and also the janitor, since it's a company of one! Although I still do consultancy work from time to time to pay the bills, my main focus and goal is to build an independent game studio making fun, creative games like I did back in my early days.
