RampantCoyote

Jay "Rampant Coyote" Barnson has been a gamer and game developer for a frightening number of years. He got his professional start right our of school working for SingleTrac making best-selling (and some not-so-best-selling) games for the Sony Playstation and PC, including popular titles "Twisted Metal," "Warhawk," and "Jet Moto." After years of joy and frustration in the mainstream games biz, he struck out on his own as a part-time indie to make his own games. With his latest title, Frayed Knights: The Skull of S'makh-Doan, Jay has focused on the unruly beast known as the Role-Playing Game, the rock upon which many an indie has wrecked. Embracing old-school turn-based combat with a party of adventurers in 3D first-person perspective, and a tongue planted in its cheek, Frayed Knights is both a return to old-school RPG gameplay and a quest for new areas to innovate to make the style as fresh and as fun as it was two decades ago.
