Mike Dawson

Mike Dawson is an American game designer that now teaches at UCLA.

Darkseed
Sometimes, things don't go as expected. A game designer builds a game that has puzzles that are unintuitive, characters that are bland, but a core idea that is at least somewhat solid.

Enter Darkseed . Mike Dawson is the designer, writer, character model, and voice actor of... Mike Dawson, the protagonist. The Retsupurae link above should cover more than enough details of the adventure. A lot of missteps are taken in designing the game, but the story involved certainly is bizarre. That alone makes the game noteworthy.

After leaving Cyberdreams, Mike Dawson did his own thing while they made a sequel to his game, starring Mike Dawson, now portrayed by another actor.

In this Retsupurae sequel Mike Dawson's adventure only gets crazier. In fact, it gets downright ridiculous.
