Alexis Kennedy designs video games. Not just the popular ones that a novice or gamers could play, but a special group. His approach caters to the gamers’ intellectual level.
Kennedy is the founder of Failbetter Games, which he started in his apartment. It has had great success and delivered experience to create two games, which have garnered many praises. Fallen London and Sunless Sea are two of his first successful products that have paved the way for his current project.![]()
When he created Fallen London and Sunless Sea, he got feedback from early players that the game may have been too complicated, or the whole picture wasn’t quite clear enough. Kennedy had hopes that here was a calling for this type of complexity, and he was right.
Weather Factory is a co-founded indie game studio that he created with Lottie Bevan. Before creating Weather Factory, he decided to pursue other avenues. He has written for gaming company giants Bid Ware, Paradox, and Telltale. Refer to This Article for more information.
Instead of making a game that appeals to everyone, Alexis Kennedy focused on a game that requires unique challenges. His first project under Weather Factory has been Cultist Simulator. It is risky however, to make the game over the top and next level. Alexis Kennedy is relying on these types of gamers to be attentive and problem solve while also receiving some clues.
Cultist Simulator has earned awards and has been nominated two times for a BAFTA award. The latest project to be released is BOOK OF HOURS. A game set in an occult library without any combat. Kennedy doesn’t want to create games that copy other well-known games. Go To This Page for more information.
He wants to be original and have a mysterious allure. The BOOK OF HOURS promises to promote challenges and mystery to this select group of intellectual gamers.
