About Brian Lynch:
REDSHOT is the brainchild and first game from the sole indie developer Brian Lynch. A 28-year-old musician and programmer working out of Philadelphia, PA, Brian has been working on the bullet-time metroidvania game REDSHOT for over 7 years after teaching himself how to program and design games. Originally started as a side hobby, he was drawn to game development for its multimedia nature (being a lifelong musician and artist), where all the game art, music, and design could be custom-made to be totally unique and special.
After graduating from Drexel University in 2016 with a degree in Entertainment and Arts Management and a minor in Business, he struggled to find a job in the entertainment industry while balancing his passion for music production and DJing. The odd jobs that did come were few and far between, like writing music for television syndication or playing live gigs and festivals, and didn't pay much. So what started as a part-time hobby in the final years of college became increasingly appealing as a business venture, especially as the pandemic demolished most opportunities in the music industry and his self-taught programming continued to improve. So he eventually decided to finally complete and release his first-ever game REDSHOT, releasing on Steam on August 2nd.
Brian has been an avid gamer for over 20 years since being completely immersed in playing Ocarina of Time back in 1999. His favorite game genres include classic metroidvanias like Metroid and Castlevania, open-world RPGs like the Elder Scrolls, fast-paced shooters like Wolfenstein and Doom, Action RPGs like the souls series, and classic PS2 horror games such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil. In his spare time, Brian also enjoys reading Gene Wolfe novels, watching Sci-Fi movies, reading manga, making music, painting, and doing 3D design work.
