Hi! I'm Dan 🦆 Hi! I'm Tyde 🦆

A lifelong game maker with a love for creativity, pixel art, and all things retro. My passion for game design has been with me since I was a kid. In fact, way back in 2003, the Swindon Advertiser interviewed a 10-year-old me, proudly declaring, “I would like to design computer games.” That spark never really left. I grew up immersed in the world of tycoon games, building virtual cities, theme parks, and towers, which eventually inspired the name Tydecon Games - a little nod to the genre that got me started.

Over the years, I’ve had the honour of working with some big names in the industry, creating everything from children’s educational games to quirky indie projects. I’ve taught Udemy courses, entered and won game jams, and steadily grown my skills across platforms - from Android to PC and beyond. Whether I’m working on something playful, educational, or just plain weird, the core drive has always been the same: I make games, simply because I love it.

I’ve got a particular soft spot for pixel art and cosy retro vibes. There’s something really special about crafting worlds that feel like they could’ve lived on an old cartridge or arcade machine - that blend of simplicity, charm, and depth is where I feel right at home. I hope you enjoy exploring my little corner of the gaming world and I can bring you the same joy through playing what I've made as I've had in making them!
