Sony. In 2012 he launched a Kickstater campaign for a card game of his own design, Jackpot!, which was successful and raised a little over £5,700. Jackpot! was released commercially in late December 2013. Jamie went on to work as a part of the art team at 4J studios in Dundee, Scotland, on the console versions of Mojang's hit game Minecraft between 2013 and 2016. In mid-2015 Jamie re-emerged onto the board game scene with a new Kickstarter for a pixel art card game called 'Random Encounter'. The game fell just short of the £10,000 goal but was then quickly picked up by IDW Games. There are now two versions of the game on the market, published by IDW Games in collaboration with Joyride Games named: Random Encounter: Plains of the Troll King and the standalone sequel Random Encounter: Seas of the Sea Chicken. He most recently collaborated again with IDW Games on their board game adaption of the Atari arcade classics game Atari's Centipede and Atari's Missile Command. Jamie now works as a Lead Games Designer for mobile games at, Dundee based development house, Outplay Entertainment.
