Axiom Verge publishers donate 75% of profits to healthcare for developer’s son

The wonderfully dark world of Metroid-alike Axiom Verge is entirely the work of Tom Happ. A Petroglpyh developer who worked on titles like Grey Goo, Happ began development of Axiom Verge in his spare time, and by the time of the game’s 2015 release he was still the sole developer. That makes it a fairly personal game, and its success is helping with an even more personal cause.

These are the best indie games on PC.

A new physical release has been published by BadLand Games, and they’re donating 75% percent of their share of the proceeds to ongoing healthcare costs for Happ’s son, Alastair. The boy was born healthy, but doctors failed to treat a routine case of jaundice which led to Alastair developing a neurological condition called kernicterus. It’s a lifelong condition that requires constant treatment from a variety of doctors and therapists, and that treatment is now being funded through the latest release of Axiom Verge.
