How do you move from being an aerospace engineer working on missile systems to running your own video game development company?
That’s part of the story of Dineth Abeynayake, founder of Foxie Games. Foxie produces mobile-based games that sell across the world, some which lead their category.
It’s a pretty fascinating story, and we cover a lot in this interview on how to start and build a company. If you’ve got a side hack going on, this is well worth the listen.
Some key themes that come out in this interview include:
- How to leave a stable career to pursue your passion
- How an entrepreneur moves from doing it all themselves to relying on their team
- What’s involved in the game development cycle
If you have a creative itch that needs to be scratched, I’m sure you will enjoy Dineth’s story.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
