Bullfrog and Lionhead
Joining Bullfrog Productions early within its inception, Healey worked on titles including Theme Park, Magic Carpet and Dungeon Keeper, for which he was responsible 90% of the graphics, as well as all the character designs. The Horned Reaper (affectionately referred to as 'Horny') is based on one of his ex-girlfriends. Being a fan of slapstick humor in games, he also came up with the minion slapping mechanic, which later led to the gestures in Black & White.
When Bullfrog became overly corporate and Molyneux left to found Lionhead Studios in 1997, Healey followed and was the first artist at the company. He soon became a senior artist and designer on Black & White, which won a BAFTA for interactivity, and did some late-production work on Fable whilst independantly working on Rag Doll Kung-Fu, an extracurricular project in his spare time.
