where are they now?

Jon Hare remains the owner of Tower Studios and his main focus is now on Sociable Soccer. As a massive football fan, he is hoping the game will pick up where Sensible

Soccer left off in the minds of gamers and, with a lucrative deal with telecoms giant China Mobile in the bag, there is every chance of it becoming a major success. Jon has also been a visiting lecturer at the University Of Westminster and he is a voting member of BAFTA. He continues to pursue his love of music, too.

After formally leaving Tower Studios in 2009, having already massively scaled down his involvement following the first three mobile game releases (Sensible

Soccer, Cannon Fodder and British

Lions Rugby 7s) Mike Montgomery continued to work as a consultant for various companies, among them Slightly Mad Studios for which he helped to create Project Cars. He also retained the rights to The Bitmap Brothers games, allowing mobile releases not only of Speedball II Evolution but also The Chaos Engine, Gods

Remastered and Z. We’re really hoping Mike now turns his attention to a remake of Xenon 2: Megablast.

John Phillips had also gone off to do his own thing shortly after Tower Studio made its first three mobile games, and he too worked as a consultant for a certain period of time. He also worked with Mike Montgomery on a number of classic Bitmap Brothers re-releases, and Jon Hare says that, today, his former business partner lives in Cornwall and continues to program.
