Patrick Hansell and Tom Duffus began their collaboration at age four, when they lived only a few fields away from one another. Now, 20 years later, they have given themselves the titles of programmer and creative director respectively, and run a two-man game studio - but they do so with miles between them. Hansell is based in Cambridge, and works with the encouragement of his employers at Improbable, while Duffus works out of a farmhouse in North Yorkshire.

“We can really stress-test our internet,” Duffus jokes.
They have needed to. Building the taut arena-shooter, JackHammer, Hansell and Duffus have become preoccupied with the work that goes into fast and flawlessly accurate combat. Pulled them along is the genre expertise that Epic Games have baked into Unreal Engine 4.
