I've long struggled with depression. I'd tell myself "you're lucky, others have it worse" and the dream of finally releasing a successful #indiegame sustained me through dark times.
Coping strategies that fail now I have terminal cancer.
Yet a ray of hope remains, for some kind of transcendence.

Been a tough year. In January I was diagnosed with a terminal cancer caused by asbestos. I've been in hospital, unable to do #gamedev for a while. If you own a #meta Quest 2 or 3 every Haus Of Klaus sale helps this indie dev to keep on fighting another day. www.meta.com/experiences/...

A handful of Youtubers are beginning to discover Haus Of Klaus. As a solo #indiedev with no QA support its a great source of insights to be able to watch people play the game first time 😅

Some of the earliest gen art was not visual, but musical; "Musikalisches Würfelspiel" games were so popular in the 1700s, even Mozart wrote one! Guillermo Brachetta has created an online version so even without piano (or dice) you can listen to some of the waltzes Mozart's algorithm creates.

First console? Mine was a Grandstand Video Sports Centre. As an only child I had to play against myself - left vs right using both joysticks. I really wanted an Atari 2600 + Space Invaders, obviously.

Here's one I made earlier... I love that people still enjoy this game, it was one of my favourite projects to work on.
It's Random Game Saturday!

An excellent and ambitious RTS for the GBC. A must own for the system I'd say just for how well realised it is. RTS games aren't exactly common on handheld consoles, so it's pretty unique.

The last couple of months has been a difficult time, life-changing even. I was unable to work on the game at all through December and most of January, so releasing an update (v0.4.5) today feels like quite an achievement.

It's payback time for Klaus Von Klensch, mastermind of the apocalypse! Sneak or fight your way through his bunker to the reactor core... Trigger a meltdown... then get the hell out before it all goes ...

If VINCENT and Maximillian had a baby... I designed Haus Of Klaus's security bots as a mashup of the droids from Disney's 1979 space disaster The Black Hole.

Hello. This is my latest game, unfunded and solo developed in my spare time over 3 years. Its a Roguelite #VR stealth & shooter with a daily random bunker full of robots and spiders. Features lots of swearing and toilet humour.

Find a way in. Overload the reactor core. Get out again in five minutes - before it all goes boom! Sounds easy right? After all, you've survived a nuclear war and now it's payback time for Klaus Von K...
