Andrew Parton, Developer.

Biography

The long, honest version of how I got here.

Career

A diplomatic read on every place I've worked.

Demos

Small browser experiments you can poke at.

The ones worth pointing at.

Forty years is a lot of credits. These are the headline few, filter by the sort of thing they are, if you like.

Sims & VR

Franton / Cue · 2022-now

Multiplayer Tank Simulator

A networked tank simulator a military-vehicle manufacturer uses to train real crews. UE5, C++ and a custom hardware rig.

Audio & Tools

Jagex · 2011-2014

RuneScape

The world's largest MMORPG. Helped take its audio from 8-bit Ogg Vorbis to live orchestral recordings, and became its first ever voice actor: a talking rock.

Arcade

SEGA · 2021

Men In Black

Designed and co-programmed the worldwide arcade release in Unity, with its speech, SFX and Arduino cabinet lighting.

Classics

MicroProse · 1994

X-COM: Enemy Unknown

Now reckoned one of the greatest PC games ever made, and it very nearly wasn't. Sound effects and audio code, and still being interviewed about it decades on.

Classics

MicroProse · 1994

Transport Tycoon

Chris Sawyer's masterpiece, written solo in pure assembler. Audio code and the in-game jukebox, with music compression fans still can't crack.

Classics

F1 Grand Prix

Geoff Crammond's benchmark racing sims, across both instalments. Sound design and audio code.
