Meet Robot Loves Kitty, the studio that created video games in a tree house

What if you could sell your home, build a tree house in the woods, live off the grid, and create video games? To many, it probably sounds like a dream job.

Legend of Dungeon is part retro beat ’em up and part roguelike, a genre known for its punishing difficulty, randomized levels, and permanent character death. “All of the content is very true to classic Rogue,” said Stolzer. “As much as we could, actually, because I grew up playing it as a little girl.
