Mark Essen, better known as ‘messhof‘, sits down with us this week and talks about his short, but so far illustrious career as an independent game developer. From his high school days in Los Angeles programming opaque exploration games to his emergence as the art world’s favorite game designer, we talk about his influences, what he likes and dislikes about his own games, as well as how he feels about the independent game scene.
