Edmund McMillen has just released a CD “This is a Cry for Help Collection” containing 10 years of artistic independence, spanning work in games, comics and art. Who is he? We recently posted about his brilliant game Aether but he’s created so much more. $10 US ($17-$20 AUD) is a ridiculously small price for such an extensive collection of inspiring work.
Please watch the trailer for his CD after the jump. You may like it. You may even be impressed!
Independent game development is something I strongly believe in and support because it’s important and inspiring. Some of the most fun and interesting games to have come out recently are indie (World of Goo, Braid) and many more attempt to push the boundaries of games as an expressive artistic medium.
IGN have an in-depth article on Edmund McMillen which describes his work much better than I could.
And straight from the artist.
