About/What I believe

Hello! RichMakeGame is my game developing alter-ego, and my real name is Rich Edwards. I’m based in the North East of England, in Newcastle.

I believe in working hard to create the experiences I long to have, and sharing these experiences with others…

As a child I saw Sonic 1 playing on a big row of department store TVs, and at that moment I knew somehow that games would be a big part of my life… I worked and made my way into the industry. After 5 years at a mid-size company I left to pursue the dream- developing games that only I design and make, with full control.

It’s been a long road, and I’m finally at the point where I can actually design experiences and bring them to life. And I sincerely hope that you enjoy these experiences as much as I enjoy making them! I’m just getting warmed up :D

My first major project is called Pineapple Smash Crew, and it’s a love letter to some older Megadrive/Genesis era games which got me into game design in the first place.. It has gameplay themes and elements reminiscent of some old classics, but also some fresh modern twists to keep it relevant and new-feeling (and big explosions!). It’s a design that’s been long-brewing in my brain over the years, and I hope it clicks with you as it did for me :)

Thanks for taking the time to read a little about me. Please feel free to Email any questions! (or shout me on twitter: @RichMakeGame )

    Hey Rich,

    I am looking forward to Pineapple Smash Crew! What is language is PSC written in? I also happen to be an aspiring game programmer so naturally, I am curious.

    Thanks!

      Hey Jordan! it’s made using the engine Quest3d- it has it’s own visual programming language. It’s quite unorthodox :)

        Quest3D, didn’t expect that. Game looks great, installing it now, I just wish there was a soundtrack bundle so I could take it with me on the go.

    Hi Rich

    I’ve just bought your new game from Steam, absolutely brilliant!

    Takes me back to the days (literally sometimes) of playing Cannon Fodder :D

    Great game and love the soundtrack.

    Oops I forgot to add, your game now has a section on the Steam forums and you made it into the top sellers today, congrats :D

    Hi Rich,

    great game?! I bought it yesterday and I’ve been totally impressed of how you brought this absolute great game experience to live – reminds me on cannon fodder in space =P. Hopefully lots of DLCs are following. =) Seems like you have enough Ideas for new Input when you can create games like this one.

    Hi,

    this seems to be a lot of fun.
    Do you plan to add multiplayer support? That would be great.

    So, I can’t get vsync to work on pineapple smash crew.

    Great game.

    Shutup and take my money to support multiplayer? Can you please do an update with this? Also are you sure you want to only make games solo, I want to get into the indie game industry as I can do 3d modeling/animation and have a friend that can make music but I need a programmer and can’t find one, any suggestions?
