Indie Game Artist Spotlight: Erin Robinson

There aren’t really enough female game developers around today (Kim Swift and Jade Raymond do not count) Now, Erin Robinson makes freeware 2D adventure games like Spooks, Nanobots and Blackwell: Unbound – which I’m sure none of you guys have ever played. My pick from the three is definitely Blackwell: Unbound, but if you’re not willing to shell out ten dollars for Unbound then give Spooks a try instead. The puzzles are a lot easier than the ones found in Nanobots, but I’ll include links to a couple of walkthroughs for “gamers” who think “escape the room games” belong in the “adventure games” category. I mean seriously — how can it be anĀ ”adventure” if you never even leave your room until the very end? That’s like saying “indie games development” is “work.”
