Editing Jeff Minter (section)

==Personal life==
In online forums and informal game credits pages Minter usually signs as "Yak", which is, in his own words
<blockquote>a pseudonym chosen a long time ago, back in the days when [[high score]] tables on coin-op machines only held three letters, and I settled on Yak because the [[yak]] is a scruffy hairy beast – a lot like me ;-).<ref>Minter, Jeff. ''[http://www.llamasoft.co.uk/jeff.php Llamasoft: Home of the Virtual Light Machine – An Introduction]''. 2005.</ref></blockquote>

Since 2015, Minter has used the name "Yak" relatively rarely, usually signing as "Stinky Ox" or "Jeff [[Minotaur]]".

He lives in Wales with his partner Ivan "Giles" Zorzin, four sheep, two goats, two llamas and a dog.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://minotaurproject.co.uk/jeff.php|title=About Llamasoft|work=minotaurproject.co.uk}}</ref> Although Minter is synonymous with Llamasoft, Zorzin is jointly responsible for the recent titles.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/how-jeff-minter-s-i-polybius-i-brought-his-signature-style-to-vr|title=How Jeff Minter's Polybius brought his signature style to VR|first=Jack|last=Yarwood|website=www.gamasutra.com|date=24 October 2017}}</ref>

Minter likes Indian food, particularly chicken [[vindaloo]].  Sheep are his favourite animal; he has kept them as pets for many years.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://venturebeat.com/2018/07/26/jeff-minter-interview-tempest-4000-vr-curry-bulls/|title=Jeff Minter interview: Tempest 4000 VR plans, tricky levels, and curry text explained|date=26 July 2018}}</ref>
