Description

Alora Fane is a solo games developer, Tobias Cornwall, who develops fantastical indie games in a consistent world that deal with relatable issues - such as mental illness and finding meaning - in a hopefully intriguing and inspiring way.

History

Early history

Tobias originally created games in Flash alone as a teenager (starting 2004) using self-taught skills, under the name Fig Hunter. These games were popular and well-recieved by players; most notably, a series of 3 retro RPGs called MARDEK (2007-2010) were played millions of times, and hold a place in many people's hearts over a decade later. Despite this reception, the difficulties of solo development and the worsening of existing mental health issues led to a change in life direction.

Return to Development

Tobias attended university to study Psychology in 2015. While studying the brain, it was discovered that his own brain had at its core a cancerous tumour. This led to major brain surgery (Oct 2018) and radiotherapy (Jan 2019), recovery from which the neurosurgeons said would take 12 months. Unable to venture out into the world due to physical and mental brain issues, Tobias returned to solo games development, focusing on projects that meaningfully explore relatable issues, drawing on his understanding of psychology and personal experiences with inner demons.
