STANWIXBUSTER
Stanley Baxton is a Northern English narrative games dev and writer creating experiences that are satirical, horrifying, or queer, and sometimes all at once. He makes games for exactly three people to lose their minds.

Currently, he's a PhD student at the University of Salford, researching the "punk indie" games scene as a viable alternative for sustainable games production. He is also a member of BAFTA Connect. Previously he worked at Supermassive Games as a Game Designer, and a host of contract roles.

Accolades of his include winning the New Media Writing Prize and the Banana of Discord at IFComp. He's been featured at A MAZE., EGX Leftfield, Glasgow Indie Games Festival, PLAY Creative, WASD Live, and voidspace_.
