Who are you?

I’m Dan Carreras! A 32 year old British Computer Science graduate that currently works at a software company as a dev-ops engineer.

This is me!

Why Caesoose?

When thinking of a name for a games company, I was trying to combine two of my favourite subjects into one to make a unique word/name.

Caesoose (pronounced “See-Zeus”) is a combination of Caesar (I love roman history), and mongoose, my favourite animal.

What’s with your logo?

Soo… being as my company name was two words mashed together, I proceeded to try and come up with a distinct and striking logo which incorporated one of these elements.

In the end, I found the following on wikipedia, and proceeded to use it as a template for my logo:

Notice how the outline (minus the feet) match up with the mongoose above? For better clarity, see below:

What’s your background?

So ever since I was a little kid, I’ve loved video games, so much so that I pursued an education in Computer Science at the university of Brighton. While this was awesome, and gave me fantastic life experience, I found that looking for a games job in Brighton was nigh on impossible, especially considering I graduated at the time Black Rock Studios (creators of Pure and Split/Second) were shut down, leaving 200 experienced games developers without jobs and applying for the same one’s I was.

I came back to my home town of Banbury, a little town north of Oxford, and proceeded to start writing reviews on my Steam back-catalog, as well as developing prototypes and games using the Unity3d engine.

What do you currently do?

  • Write reviews and opinion pieces
  • Develop games & prototypes
  • Work as a Dev-ops Engineer and QA lead at a local software company.

You write too? That’s awesome! Where can I read your stuff?

You can read most of my stuff (where I get review copies of games early) at VGChartz.com.

My full profile of reviews and opinion pieces can be found by clicking this link: Dans Profile.

You can also read my own (unedited, so quality varies greatly!) reviews on this here website. Every Friday at 10am I post a new review on anything I’ve managed to complete that week.

What are your favourite games? 

  • The Halo series
  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
  • Asura’s Wrath
  • The Binding of Isaac
  • Mass Effect series (except 3, GOD DAMN THAT BLOODY ENDING!!!!)

I need to communicate with you! HOW CAN I DO THIS?!?!
