About Me
Description
My name is Benn Powell, I'm a game developer based in Newport, UK and have been making games since 2008.
I was introduced to the game development scene via game jams (specifically Ludum Dare) and eventually gained a job in the games industry working at Team17 Ltd as a programmer in Wakefield.
I have since left the company to pursue a solo indie career, with my first main project being Operator Overload which released in 2017.
After the game's launch I went on to create randomizers for the Resident Evil HD Remake and the Resident Evil 2 Remake.
My current project is DeadOS which is in Early Access.
In the Media
The Resident Evil Randomizers have been streamed by several large streamers and have millions of hits on Youtube.
I worked on Experiment 12 with 11 other indie developers, that recieved a certain amount of media attention from places such as PC Gamer, indiegames.com and Rock Paper Shotgun.
