John O'Kane

Founder, Game Developer, 2D Artist

@johnokane

John is a games developer from Donegal. Having spent 10 years mostly programming games he is interested in designing and making shorter games. He started out programming at a little gem of a place called Instinct Technology where a few of the other Fungus team members also earned their spurs. After four years of making a 3D engine he went backpacking around the world on his own. A slightly different person came back. Over the next eight years that person became a masters student, college research assistant, games company startup co-founder and contract programmer.

As a games player, John first found true love with his Amiga.... 500, and the shareware or demo disks on the covers of long forgotten magazines. This love continues with the work being created by modern independent developers. These days you will more than likely find him playing board games or organising some curious games event, such as Inis Spraoi (InisSpraoi.org). You can say hello at @johnokane.
