About
“I’d love to work in games, but I'm not sure in which area yet. I'm enjoying the testing experience and I also believe I have art skills that I could develop into a career. I’ve always been a big fan of Halo, so designing a successful character like Master Chief would be amazing.” Jessie and John Darling have been assiduously testing Kwalee’s next game release, Pussy Flip, available on the Apple App Store next week.
