In the grim darkness of the far future, there are only pixels... Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is Auroch Digital's iconic boomer shooter made in partnership with Games Workshop. Using their much beloved Warhammer 40,000 IP, Boltgun has captured the hearts of many - including me! I've loved Warhammer since I was 5, which at the time of writing puts this at a 22 year love affair. We've had our ups-and-downs but joining Auroch when they were developing Boltgun reignited that passion for my little plastic war dollies.

In truth, I didn't work on Boltgun nearly as much as I would've liked. It was very much closing up ready for release as I started my tenure as a designer at Auroch Digital. However, I had the privilege to test some of the levels during our frequent design workshops.

Knowing that I, even briefly, touched a game set in one of my favourite universes was enough to confirm that I'd picked a dream career and I count myself incredibly lucky to have had that opportunity.
