About Me

I'm Tom Betts, aka Nullpointer, an artist, academic and coder with a PhD exploring “the digital sublime in videogames”. I was the lead programmer at game development studio Big Robot, responsible for games such as “Sir, You are being Hunted”, “The Signal From Tolva” and “The light will keep us safe”. Now I run my own game development studio Nullpointer Games creating games such as "Into The Pit" (with Humble publishing) and more recently "The Horror at Highrook" (with Outersloth).

I am a published musician, and have performed and delivered talks at international events such as DIGRA, FreePlay, UNITE, Sonar, Rezzed and Indievelopment. I have shown my digital artwork at the ICA, ZKM, New museum(NY) and the Rotterdam film festival and I've worked on projects for the Tate, V&A and Southbank Centre.
