Hi There

Bipedal Dog (“BDog”) is a distributed game developer. The kinds of games we make (and want to make!) poke at the edges of gameplay and introduce new ideas to familiar types of games. Yeah, that sounds kind of vague, but our first project Blast Rush, for instance, reconsiders the basic rules of a bullet-hell shooter.

Like so many others in our boat, BDog is a tiny studio right now, and help is brought in to a project when necessary. Nevertheless, we value the voice and expertise of diverse talents. We hope you’ll stick around to see what we have in store!

Ray Barnholt is founder, creative director, designer, and producer at Bipedal Dog. His professional involvement with video games began in the mid-2000s after catching the slowly ebbing wave of web journalism, and never wasted a chance to shine a light on off-center or seldom remembered games — an interest later channeled into self-produced game history zine SCROLL.
