Hi there, and thanks for visiting. I’m Chris Kemp-Salt, AKA Kempt. I built an early web game in 1997 using Macromedia Director and I’ve worked in the web or games ever since. This site pulls together:

• My business history since starting Kempt in 2003.
• The games I’ve worked on, well over a hundred of them.
• My writing on the business of building games and being human.

If any of it resonates, do get in contact.
