Description

Where one-man indie Chris Knowles (with freelancer help!) makes games. Currently creating puzzle game Hexahedra.

History

Before Sidequest Ninja

Chris joined the games industry in 2007 at Jagex, and while there spent many years working on the RuneScape engine, as well as shipping three other titles; amongst other things he was the senior backend developer throughout the development of Chronicle: RuneScape Legends. In 2019 he went part-time to set up Sidequest Ninja, and left Jagex completely in May 2021.

Going Indie

Having built a prototype in 2019, and after taking some time off to get married, production on Hexahedra started in earnest in February 2020. The game was 290% funded on Kickstarter in December 2022, and will launch in 2024. The game is being developed live on Twitch, and has a Steam demo.
