ROB AGER'S VIDEO GAME PROJECTS AND ANALYSIS'

In the early 1990's I worked in the video game industry as a graphic artist and animator. My first project
was the 1994 racing game Power Drive. I did the environmental graphics for the Game Gear version.
Of course the graphical abilities of the Game Gear were very limited, but it was a starting point..

Having left the industry in my early twenties to work in mental health and eventually in film making,
I returned to my old love of video games in 2023 after my daughter kept asking me to create
mods for the video game Minecraft. I produced six large mods for the game, which have
since been downloaded by Minecraft players over 100k times. While developing these projects
I expanded my range beyond mere graphics and got into programming.

Since 2024, I've been working part time on a full video game project of my own called TO THE DEATH.
This is a solo project, in which I am the programmer, graphic artist / animator and sound / music designer.
This game is far more advanced than any game project I've ever worked on before and is
approx 70% completed. It's available in early access for PC players via the Steam Website.
A free demo version is also available via the Steam website. Please feel to play and review either version.
