He also began to release commercial games under his long-standing internet pseudonym “Wormintheworks” including titles like SuperBeanJump, Chickens & Moles and Ring Of Fire.
Allison is a prolific game developer and typeface designer with thousands of creations released under the name “NALGames”. Allison began work at YoYo Games, the home of GameMaker, in 2010 working on titles such as Simply Solitaire, Fire Escape and Maddening Overload.
Daniel joined YoYo Games in 2013 as a customer support technician and a friendship was born. In 2015 Daniel & Allie decided to forge their own path through the games industry and founded Chequered Ink.
In seven years the duo have released hundreds of new fonts, games and assets including Gyro Boss DX, Innoquous V and PONG Quest.
