I was involved in the Kingsway Amateur Computer Club from 1984 onwards, where the founding members of DMA Design met. I worked for DMA freelance from 1988 to 1991 and full time from then until 1997. Since then I've somehow managed to direct Britain's first ever Star Trek Fan Film (now a crowded field) and a few sequels, written a full-length original screenplay and a first draft of a novel. During the day I am mainly a programmer with an aerospace company.

DMA Fuel that is. Scottish Games Network has the skinny on the return of Crackdown for the XBox One, including one of two shoutouts to DMA Design: That’s one of the older logos. The other shoutout is so far unknown, but has been alluded to.
