Aaron Clifford’s Interests:

Other than digital art and game development, I spend my free time on the basketball court, I have been playing for over 2 years now and keen to persist. Also one of my main passions is Airsoft. Very keen gamer, playing games on most consoles and PC through all genres and categories. I particularly enjoy the immersive nature of a good action title preferably from a first person perspective in other words an “FPS”, whilst also greatly enjoying the test of adventure games and the hours of entertainment from arcade and sport titles.
