I remember coming towards the end of my degree in Computer Games Programming, looking at all my job options and thinking, I’m not ready to slow down yet. I felt that I had many skills which I would not get to use if I just went into employment, so I decided to set up in business and began looking for the support to do that.
My idea started when I was doing my placement year in Newcastle. I was sitting on the Metro looking over notes from my Japanese evening class and thinking there must be an easier way to learn than this.
A year later after completing my degree I realised that I had spent the last four years learning how to manipulate probably the most powerful and engaging medium available and I could turn this medium and these skills towards learning.
I started Babel Digital, now Ideonic Limited, in August 2006. We focus on using computer games as a medium for education, training and communication.
