Matt Bone
Captains Mate, Project Manager

Paul Amesbury
2D/3D Artist, Animator, Modeller
Paul originally trained as a graphic designer, but after stints drawing Roland Rat, Duckula and other such characters it was obvious that illustration was a better career path.
Several successful years followed in character licensing and
children’s publishing, drawing Spider Man, Judge Dredd, and The Simpsons to name but a few. A casual interest in 3D-modelling and animation brought work from the computer games industry, chiefly the Lego & Ford Racing franchises.
Recent projects include Nascar 2007 for Electronic Arts, Studs Up
Soccer, Fun Radio and various Top Secret items for Incredible Box™.
Paul is also the originator of ‘Cat Bastard’, a 2D-animated series
for the Comedy Channel (Europe).
Benjamin Jackson

Ben brings technical knowledge and creative genius to the team. Throughout his school and working life Ben has been coding websites and designing print art work. He worked in large enterprise environments for three years as an I.T. network technician acquiring knowledge of Windows and Unix server environments, then, following his passion to design he moved into a role as brand-manager, web-designer and graphic artist.
Ben moved into freelance design and was later snapped up by the Incredible Box™ after being spotted as young talent.
He is a musician & song writer that loves having the opportunity to let his creativity flow through his work. His big dream is to be an integral part of creating the Incredible Box™ music division.
Benjamin is a pixel perfectionist and takes great delight in his work.
He wins the prize for living nearest Incredible Box™ (approximately 200 yards). He has a plaque which states, “I live in the Box!”
Rich Tufty
.NET, Java, Flash Programmer
It all started in the early days of home-computers for Richard. From Spectrums to the Amiga, he cut his teeth on these great machines and knew that programming would be a big part of his life. Fast-forward a few years and the birth of the Internet gave him a whole new world to explore.
At the tender age of 18, Richard’s first professional IT role was with Lloyds TSB Registrars as a System Tester. There he worked his way into programming, initially developing their DEC system and he then became an integral part of the ecommerce team.
Like many people in IT, he took the opportunity to become freelance. Initially he contracted around & about Brighton, and later an opportunity to work in London couldn’t be missed. There he was involved in various web projects & bespoke Windows business applications.
The opportunity to work for Incredible Box™ was an ideal position for Richard, as he shares the same love to develop cool software that the masses want to use. His love of playing video games led him to work on 3D games for the company, initially using Ogre/Visual Studio.
