BiographyEdit

Kayin was a long time aspiring game developer, working with ZZT and Megazeux, before finding out how to use modern game makers. Kayin ascribes most of his inactivity to the fact that he finds most to be insufficient after the release of I Wanna Be the Guy.

Kayin doesn't spend much time interacting with the indie community, but writes semi frequently on his blog about various games (usually heavily in depth), competitive game balance, level design and art. Kayin also is outspoken against "Art Games", insisting that the most important art games are those that exist as finely crafted games and not attempts to imitate other mediums.
