I’m Ian Campbell, an indie dev from Toronto, Ontario.
I’ve been ga-ga for videogames my whole life. My preference is fast, skill-based action games, but I can get behind any game with interesting mechanics, or genuine soul. Some of my personal faves include: Deus Ex, Ikaruga, Bayonetta, Viewtiful Joe, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Mega Man.
I started making games in 2008. Over the years I’ve taught myself how to code, draw and compose, and have released around 25 small indie games both solo and collaboratively, with a couple larger-scale projects in there besides. I view these kinds of projects as art, and a form of self-expression — an attempt to manifest my passion for video games and share it with others. My most well-received games by far are the action-platformers Bleed and Bleed 2!
I’m now part of the awesome team at DrinkBox Studios! I helped make Guacamelee! 2, and am tackling exciting new projects there as you read this!
