Despite a career in Games spanning 34 years, I never got to write the type of game that I wanted to write: a game based around what happens when you reach for your dreams; how the universe at times seems to unfold to help you and at other times how lost and befuddled you can become. Nogard is a personal journey, a story about my experience, and a story of cooperation, support and love.

This is no ordinary computer game. There is no dead or be deaded action, just Nogard, an unhappy dragon who wants to be smaller to fit in. The player must guide him through his journey and help him overcome the challenges presented along the way. Nogard is a game that centres around cooperation, friendship, loyalty and recognition of the underdog. It’s a game by big kids for all kids. 

The game is loosely based on a story my brother created over 30 years ago. Originally spoken to his sons, it later evolved into print and has stayed in my heart ever since.

  From the Book Nogard - Dragon Employment.

Thank you for your support of this project on behalf of myself, kids, big kids and dragons everywhere.  Remember...

Nogard needs you!

The Challenges

I have the skills to design and implement the Games as well as manage the project, what is lacking is the expertise to create and edit artwork and produce videos and animation.  Furthermore these experts will need to be familiar with Games development.  I have many contacts and can easily source the skills required but the things is they also expect to get paid!  And that's why we need you.
