Summary
Richard Brown, a special school teacher from Sheffield, began creating point-and-click adventure games after introducing his children to the genre. Inspired by classics like Monkey Island and Zak McKracken, his latest game, Brownie’s Adventures: The Final Resolution, is set in a quirky, post-apocalyptic version of North East Derbyshire. The game pays homage to local landmarks and British comedy, and features sound design by Jonno Richards. Brown is part of a growing wave of indie developers finding success through platforms like Steam. Experts highlight how digital distribution now allows independent games to compete alongside major titles, democratizing game development for all.
