In collaboration with Think magazine, the University of Malta scientific magazine, the Zone met with David Chircop, a board and digital games designer and creator, whose background is so diverse that one would have found it hard to focus on one specific thing that he does.

As a specialist in podiatry, David also has a Masters degree in digital games and an extensive experience as an actor and director in the local theatre scene. His love for board games however was the one to take over in recent years as the fascination for how games are created has led him to create board- as well as video games.

One board game in particular stuck well with a large online community for board games and won him an award as well as popularity among players from all over the world, so much so that David is now looking at a publishing deal.

With his popular board game ready for official release and a few video games which he has designed David has founded a small indie studio, through which he plans to create a lot more games but also do academic research on the shift in player experience when a board game is implemented as a digital one. Watch the interview with David and for those interested in trying out his game, check out !

The Zone works in collaboration with Think Magazine.
