About Ben Gillbanks
Binary Moon is...
... the home of Web Designer and Game Developer Ben Gillbanks. It has been on-line in one form or another since the year 2000(ish). Binary Moon was originally used as somewhere for me to show off, now that it's a blog hopefully it will be used to create some conversations about the things I am interested in.
About Me
I (Ben) was born in 1980 in the South of England where I have spent all of my life. After too many years at school I went to University to study Digital Arts with Multi Media computing. It was this that led me to web design, and game development. Two years after leaving Uni and countless attempts at getting a job as a video game artist I finally managed to get a job at a small on-line games company where I work to this day.
Binary Sun?
In early 2004 I set up a sister site to Binary Moon called Binary Sun - free game downloads. This site was set up to sell the games I have been creating, as a hobby, since the start of the century (a list of the games I've made can be seen on the left...)
Binary Joy
Summer of 2006 saw the release of Binary Joy - a games news and reviews blog. Created because of my (obvious) interest in gaming and the lack of well designed informative games news sites. I wanted a site that was updated less frequently but with better quality, more interesting content, and hope that is what I have achieved. Of course it's still in it's infancy and hopefully over time will show it's full potential.
Elsewhere online...
Below I've listed a few of the places you can find me online.
