Barkalar Games
Game Designer • Musical Artist • Content Creator
In the year 2006, I decided I wanted to develop my own video games. Because I enjoyed playing
games throughout my life, the thought of creating and playing games using my own ideas for
graphic styles, level designs, characters, and game plots motivated me to begin teaching myself the
process of game development. Around 2008, I began developing freeware games for years, then I
eventually I moved on to the commercial market to release games on Steam, Gamersgate, and Desura.
During the process of developing commercial games, I taught myself how to create Video Game Music (VGM).
Eventually after years of making VGM, I found myself struggling to come up with new ideas for VGM. I
then decided to stop focusing on trying to make fitting VGM and just started to make music I could
enjoy creating and listening to casually.
Around late 2016, I decided retire my games from every game store and focus on distributing them from
my site only. Being a solo content creator, I felt this decision would help decrease my massive workload
to give me more availability to new projects as well as other places in my personal life. I also felt
the benefits of being present on the various game stores wasn't really worth the extra work and time
invested. Fast fowarding to present times, I continue to make music mostly, occasionally work on video
game projects, and I sometimes make videos for fun.
