Beginning with just a few books on game programming, some knowledgable contacts, and a vision, Derek has developed one of the most recognized and longest running brands in computer gaming history.

In 2006, Battlecruiser, the company’s first and most recognized IP, celebrated its 10-year anniversary.

The 3000AD story is one of pushing the envelope of technical capability, continually leading the space simulation game market in sheer scope and ambition. Battlecruiser games are known for seamlessly scaling from immense planet-orbiting battlestations down to hand-to-hand combat on land, air, and sea.
