Adam ' Stoney' Stone

Not sure what makes me tick but I adore my dogs, walking beside the sea, spending time with my wife and daughter – whether its cuddles, walks, reading or being silly. I like to treat each and every day as an adventure and enjoy finding joy in the little things. I try to put the same sense of adventure into the games I make, with the teams that I work with and feel very humbled to live out my dream of working on videogames every day.

Hardest Game Boss?

Answer

Honestly cannot think of one! Hmmmm Aha! The Yeti in Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. Google it and you will see why (a very silly design in an otherwise excellent title)
