d3t welcomes Tommy Bowyer, Associate Producer

7th Nov 2024

Tell us a bit of information about your experience/career background?

I am a qualified electrical engineer who has dabbled in many fields throughout the years. However, it was just before the COVID pandemic outbreak which saw me transition into working in production/project management! I have found that mixing my hobby and love for video games with my production skillset was a match made in heaven. Especially as it enables me bring that passion to work every day.

Why d3t?

d3t stood out to me from the awards alone, along with glowing recommendations from staff I know. Having worked in several fields across numerous industries, I wanted a place where I can mould a career rather than just have a ‘job’ and d3t seems like the absolute perfect place to do that. A career and a fantastic work environment? Sign me up!

What do you love about games?

I love the escapism, the ability to be transported away from whatever is bothering you and just switch off your brain for some fun, or alternatively turn your brain on and learn! I found my love for history from playing the Total War, Age of Empires and Anno games that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

What games are you currently playing, and what is your favourite game?

I am currently having a blast on Delta Force and Starship Troopers Extermination. I am very much tapping into the old school feel of shooters, with a spattering of Rainbow Six Siege mixed.

As for my favourite game I have to say World of Warcraft, it’s been a mainstay I return to every expansion just to see what’s going on! The War Within has been brilliant fun so far!

Do you have any fun facts or hobbies?

In my spare time I mostly enjoy spending time with my family, embarrassing my teenage daughter, throwing axes and playing Airsoft. (It’s like paintballing but with BB guns).

Interesting fact – Giraffes are 30 times more likely to be struck by lightning than humans.
