Preston used this game to tell a personal story, one where he can express his own tribulations to a wider audience.
This soon led to the creation of Hyper Light Drifter, a game that Preston used to tell his story, albeit through the lens of a neon-infused, fantasy world. This condition did not stop Preston in pursuing the arts, with the creator using film and paint to illustrate a life of hardship. Game creator Alxx Preston suffered from congenital heart disease throughout his life, resulting in most of his life being spent in hospitals. So on its seventh anniversary, let’s take a look at how Hyper Light Drifter was made, how it became larger than life upon release, and its legacy in the modern video game industry today. The biggest and most emblematic of these examples is the story of Alx Preston and the creation of Hyper Light Drifter.
Similarly, in the indie video game scene, we see many creators using their real-life experiences to create their video games. Whether it is Shigeru Miyamoto basing the original Legend of Zelda on his own childhood adventures in nature or Satoshi Tajiri basing Pokemon on his own experiences of catching insects, we see the perfect fusion of these two aspects creating some of the biggest video games of all time.
