21.01.2022 If you need a App developed or any toy or game product, let me help you. (Special: $10,000 + Tax for full basic game or business app, contact to discuss). We also offer prototype-only development of an App, to show investors who could then fully fund your App. Ask for a prototype quote!... This is specifically to develop a PROTOTYPE of an App so that you can demonstrate to investors the potential of your app idea and convince them to invest. The full App could be anywhere from $40,000 to $250,000 or more but raising this kind of money is hard without demonstrating your idea and showing that it can be done and it is a viable investment. I am an Australian toy & game designer and manufacturer, I have also been developing computer games and apps for my clients as well since starting in 1990. I have designed and manufactured over 1,500 products, so I can guide you through the whole process. Working on several Apps now, I see an issue arising where people approach me to develop their app but do not have the funds to finance it. Posting it on Kickstarter is a huge risk, because people can copy the idea. So start small, using my prototype method I use with my toy and board game clients. Making a Wireframe Flow chart of some (not all) of how your app will work is a positive way of getting your idea to market. If you wish, for a little extra, provide me with your UDID serial code, from your iPhone and we can then program it for you to demonstrate the App on your iPhone. Note we code for iPhone as the software is cleaner for then converting to Android later. Look at the pics of some of the work I have done. From the Creator of the MasterChef game, the Huggie / Snuggle teddy bear and the Chocolate Bilby character. NB: I work with clients all over the world...

I have designed over 1,500 products, including the Huggie/Snuggle Teddy Bear and the MasterChef game. Having manufactured many millions of items for clients such as TV shows, toy companies, inventors and advertising agencies, let me come up with a promotional product for your company or the creation of a toy character for your movie or TV show.

18.01.2022 TOY BLAST is a BLAST: As a toy, game & App designer and manufacturer, I have to admit, I am addicted to this game. Finally after 2 years, I reached level 1,000 and mostly without purchasing coins. It can be done if you persist, although some levels were hard and took me a month to pass! Loads of fun. Hoping to develop similar games for some of my clients!

17.01.2022 BOARD GAMES: Whilst playing the auction-based art game, Masterpiece, a man saw a painting in the game that looked similar to one he had at home. He later discovered that particular painting which he was using to cover a hole in his wall for years was actually worth $1.25 million. Masterpiece is a board game where players bid on actual paintings from around the world. Players bid against each other, negotiate amongst themselves, create a portfolio of their paintings, and then ...finally win the game. A 30-year-old man was playing this game when he realized that one of the paintings in the game bore a strong resemblance to a painting he had at home. Apparently, he was using the painting to cover a hole in his wall. When he realized that the painting was called Magnolias on Gold Velvet Cloth and was painted in the 19th-century by Martin Johnson Heade, he immediately contacted Kennedy Galleries in Manhattan. The gallery was able to authenticate the painting.

12.01.2022 As a toy and game developer and manufacturer, there are only two app games I actually enjoy playing. Remember that a carpenter doesnt want to work on his house when he gets home from work. I am the same with toys and games! Anyway I am playing this new game, from Peak Games, called Toon Blast. It is just as addictive as Toy Blast. Well just now I won first prize in the monthly tournament for the first time. A thousand coins. Yes I admit that I am pretty chuffed. Lol

10.01.2022 Today, Channel 10 announced the sacking of the three Chefs who host Australias MasterChef. 3 strong personalities kept the show running with high ratings. It was a pleasure to be asked to design and develop the board game for the show several years ago!

08.01.2022 Coming soon: the Congress board game - teaching the right way laws should be passed in both the House of Representatives and Senate. Based on my successful Parliament board game, which went to every school in Australia. My aim is to educate and empower and show why YOUR vote is so important. My dream is to hand the first copy to the US President!

08.01.2022 As an IDEAS person, I often consult with clients to not only come up with a creative concept but also implement it in the design and manufacture. Having developed over 1,500 products from toys, games, apps, promotional products, advertising mediums etc, use me to help you create your next campaign or product! Note images of my train logo in plastic, wood, brass, silver and gold!

05.01.2022 What kid wouldnt want this. Sand castle @ Melbourne Toy Fair. Need a product developed? DM me...

05.01.2022 A friend made a graffiti version of my train logo. Pretty cool!

03.01.2022 CHECKING IN! This was a close one! Chinese New Year has officially started and so we had to get the sales staff to do the final pack-off for a gold-leaf game I designed and developed for a client in the USA. As an Australian designer manufacturer, theres often unknown stresses during manufacture but this one had me down to the wire. Phew!

02.01.2022 Designing promotional and retails toys! I think the biggest collectable craze that I have seen in my life is the current Coles Mini Shop collectable groceries items here in Australia. People are posting rare ones for over $1,000 on eBay. Honestly, these cute miniatures (see my pic next to small jar of real Vegemite, to see scale) are so adorable. Targeted to kids, Aussie adults, the continent over, have taken up the craze. It is reported that sales have been heavily boosted i...n the Coles supermarket chain, as you must to spend $30 just to get one, in a sealed surprise bag. I experienced this personally when I designed and manufactured the Huggie Snuggle Teddy Bear, when the retailer ran out of stock of their product and the bears! Do you want a new product created? What about incorporating AR (augmented reality) into it, like these examples (not mine)! Have your toy or product enter a virtual world once I design and manufacture it for you. I can then design an AR app just for your idea!

01.01.2022 PETER RABBIT: Filmed in Sydney, NEW South Wales, Australia. This is a must to see with the kids but even adults will enjoy the slap-stick humour. I just watched Peter Rabbit with my daughter. It is such a clever and funny movie, based on the Beatrix Potter, Peter Rabbit, the English children's book series. It has so much dry humour which sort of reminds me of the movie Moana, especially with the funny chicken. In this movie, the rooster wakes each morning excited it is a new ...day and talks about it instead of crowing. Very funny. Peter Rabbit was filmed in Sydney's Centennial Park garden. The blended live action and animation film adaptation of the beloved childrens book by Beatrix Potter was filmed at the iconic park, which extra shots done in London. The film starred the voices of Margot Robbie, James Cordon, Rose Byrne, Domhnall Gleeson, Elizabeth Debicki and Daisy Ridley. Beatrix Potters series of Peter Rabbit books have sold more than 150 million copies in 35 languages since she first self-published 250 copies of The Tale of Peter Rabbit for family and friends in December 1901. The book was an instant success and became a bestseller for publishing company Frederick Warne & Co in 1902. The movie was produced by Australian based animation and visual FX production studio "Animal Logic" which also created the animation for the blockbuster The Lego Movie and is doing the follow up The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie. Did you know that Centennial Parklands garden is one of the most film-friendly public spaces in Australia? They host over 180 commercial filming and photography shoots a year, and have a long history of featuring in movie blockbusters, including the Great Gatsby, Australia, Wolverine and Gods of Egypt, just to name a few. So many blockbuster movies from Superman, Matrix series, Ted, and Inspector Gadget etc. are filmed here. Actress Mimi Rogers once famously said that she loves filming in Australia because we break for 'afternoon tea'. The New South Wales State Governments $20 million "Made In NSW" fund helped to secure the production for Sydney. Here is the YouTube link to the preview... https://youtu.be/32via095BPk
