Kevin Beimers is one of the guys who brought you the critically-defamed Hector: Badge of Carnage iPhone adventure series. In his past, he's had an office on the 73rd floor of the Empire State Building, rode a tricycle around Australia, and once attended Oktoberfest with Miss Arkansas. He's a polymath of creativity and logic with an ambidextrous brain. Most recently he's been developing astronomically epic game concepts with the Straandlooper boys about conspiracy theorist lorry drivers and transdimensional quantum superhero cats. He writes monthly feature articles for [login to view URL], he's edited a couple of novels, recently ran a writing workshop at Edinburgh Interactive 2012, and has a couple of spectacular adventure travel blogs worth visiting.

Most recently, I was the Writer, Producer, Designer, Game Action/Animation Director and Programmer for the HECTOR: BADGE OF CARNAGE iPhone adventure game series (www.thehectorfiles.com). I worked tirelessly with Hector's creator (also Director, Writer, Artist, Animator, and Composer) to lead a team of four artists/animators over six months to produce Episode 1: We Negotiate With Terrorists. Episode 1 gained plenty of critical acclaim, and was noticed in December 2011 by adventure giants Telltale G

1 year
Worked for various worldwide clients including a profile/chat site in the UK, a phone console company in the US, a revenue consultancy firm in India, an EKG technology company in Europe... I've lost count, there were a lot. Came very close to completing development on a Flash-based WeeMees-style profile pic creation tool, but the partnership fell through and now it's just sitting on a drive somewhere.
Travel Journalist

2 years, 7 months
Back in the days before blogs were blogs and were then only known as "online journals", I underwent three colossal undertakings wrapped around quests and events. The first was roadtrip.beimers.com, in which my wife (then girlfriend) and I travelled the lower 48 states of the USA by car over seven months. Every day (sometimes two pages a day) we reported on our position, lodging (tent), food, knowledge, customs, but also wrote a 500-1000 word report on the day's theme. Every day. By the

Qualifications
Working Safely & Managing Safely
2007
IOSH
Well, if you were to call up IOSH I wouldn't be in their member database, but my job there was to redesign the course materials for their 1-day and 5-day courses to be more entertaining, so I could pass the assessments in a snap if asked. As well, in my off-time I penned Working Safely The Musical, the only half-hour Broadway showstopper in existence that's 100% HSE compliant.

Publications
Monthly Feature Writer
Australian Cyclist Magazine
During my cycling circumnavigation of Australia (bikeabout.beimers.com) I wrote a collection of articles for Australian Cyclist Magazine, usually written while plugged into a seedy outback pub, or sometimes a portable solar panel in the middle of the desert. If nothing else, these articles occasionally scored a bed to sleep in from charitable armchair cyclists once we hit the populated areas.
Lifeboat Luke
LTL Productions
Wrote three 5-minute episodes of Lifeboat Luke, a kids animation series for 4-7 year olds set in the mad, magical Irish town of Donaghadoo. - Pandemuckermergency (a local boy hero fixes the lighthouse) - Boombuskermonkeyjack (a monkey causes havoc after stealing a fishing boat) - Scubatrubbalubbaloo (a glass bottom boat tour thwarts a coral thief)
Hector: Badge of Carnage
Straandlooper Animation
Most recently, I wrote, designed and produced the HECTOR: Badge of Carnage spoof crime drama video game trilogy. The first episode - We Negotiate With Terrorists - won several awards including IGN's and TouchGen's Editors' Choice Awards for Best Adventure Game, and #36 in ArtOfTheiPhone's "150 Best iPhone Games of All Time". Once Episode 2 - Senseless Acts of Justice - and Episode 3 - Beyond Reasonable Doom - were completed, the trilogy encompassed over 10,000 lines
