I love making lots of cool innovative games, like board games.

Dr. Ian Bogost, author of Cow Clicker, a Facebook game send-up of Facebook games, and A Slow Year, a collection of videogame poems for Atari VCS.

Kris Piotrowski and Nathan Vella of Capy demoing their new collaboration with Jim Guthrie, a game called Below, at Venus Patrol's Horizon Conference.

Daniel Benmergui (not of Sierra fame, but he's obviously been there) actually comes from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Daniel also has a beard. He is making a very different puzzle game called Storyteller. It won the IGF Nuovo Award in 2012.

If you haven't played Super Crate Box or Ridiculous Fishing yet, you might have at least heard of their never ending battles with clones.

He also helps run a freeware website called FreeIndieGam.es. Remember freeware? Yeah, that.

Unfortunately his beard is too awesome to be exposed unpixelled.
