About The Ninjas

Nineteen Stone Ninjas is an independent game development studio based in England. Established in 2013 as the result of a life-long love for both video games and programming, our aim is to simply enjoy designing and developing games of all shapes and sizes. If, in the process, we happen to create something that you enjoy too, then we will be very happy developers!

Chris Sebok

Project Lead - Game Designer, Programmer, Story Writer, Level Designer, Sound Designer, Workaholic

Chris has worked as a commercial software developer and architect for over 16 years, designing and developing across a wide range of industries and business sectors. As the studio's project lead, he is responsible for the overall design and development of our projects, although he's a coder at heart.

Chris also has extensive experience in sound recording, editing, mixing and production, having been both a band member and the owner of a commercial recording studio for over 7 years.

He works across the film and games industry in a freelance capacity, with a particular interest in character and environment design - developing ideas in a constructive pipeline to achieve final concepts.
