Hello, I'm Richard Cobbett (original) (raw)

I write games. Usually games with lots and lots of words in them. Before that, I was a journalist for about 15 years, for sites and magazines including PC Gamer, IGN, Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, and many more with the letters 'PC' in the title.

In recent years, I've been on the development side instead, working on games including Sunless Sea/Sunless Skies, Not Tonight, Beyond A Steel Sky, The Long Journey Home and plenty more that I both can and can't talk about. My main project right now is Nighthawks, a vampire RPG set in a world where the big secret has been revealed and both the living and dead are struggling to adjust to the new way of things. It's dark, funny, sometimes a bit sexy. Everything that a modern monster could want!

Please pardon the placeholder site. I plan to make a snappier one when I have a few minutes - so, any year now! Until then, drop me a line at my e-mail here, or follow me on Twitter to keep in touch.
