Biography

Robert Boyd is an indie developer specializing in retro-style 16-bit role-playing video games. Based in Lake Arrowhead, California, he is most widely known for co-creating the indie game studio Zeboyd Games alongside William Stiernberg, and programming, designing and writing the studio's games. Stiernberg left the studio in 2023, but it continues onward under Boyd. Much of the studio's work is comedic in nature and parodies Lovecraftian horror. Its first games were the interactive fiction works Epiphany In Spaaace! and Molly the Were-Zompire for Xbox Live Arcade; which were remastered for Windows in 2023. Soon afterward, the studio released its first RPGs, Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World. The studio was then contracted to develop the third and fourth installments in the Penny Arcade Adventures series. In 2017, Zeboyd released the original IP Cosmic Star Heroine, a sci-fi adventure. The studio subsequently returned to comedy games with Cthulhu Saves Christmas and This Way Madness Lies. The studio's games are typically short in length, and have been positively received by critics and commended for their writing, gameplay and value. Boyd is known as an advocate for low prices in indie games, running contrary to much of the industry.
