Increpare: Indie Developer Needs Cash, Badly
You know Increpare? Aka Stephen Lavelle? He's one of the hyper-prolific game creators on the British indie scene. We've blogged about a couple of his games before (The historian game Opera Omnia and the Mass Effect 2 parody Starfeld), but he does a whole lot more. His presentation at World of Love basically involved him just talking to everyone in the audience about what they were up to. He also basically worked in the industry as a coder in the games industry and doing it solely as a job - because he saved his creativity for churning out games. Anyway - the reason why I'm posting is that he's just been made redundant and has put up a request for donations. If you've ever dug any of his games, now would be a good time to throw some Internetcoins in his direction. And if you haven't, go to Increpare's site and be bewildered at where to start. I've just played Whale of Noise, based around one of our aquatic mammal sorts learning notes to sing to separate its body into increasingly distantly placed parts. And The Terrible Whiteness of Appalachian Nights features stuff so horrible I can't even show you a screenshot. And the pictured Beatification is just plain odd. What have you found?
