Michael Brough (born 20 May 1985) is a New Zealand-born[1] indie video game developer known for his eclectic roguelike games. His games are often tightly-focused explorations of a single mechanical aspect of the roguelike genre, set on unusually small grids.[2] This style of game, perhaps best exemplified by 868-HACK,[3] has become widely known as the "Broughlike".[4]
Wired Magazine called Brough's games "corrupted" and "brilliant",[5] while The Guardian wrote that his work is "strange" and "elegant".[6]
Michael Brough graduated from The University of Auckland with a MS Degree in Mathematics under the supervision of Bakhadyr Khoussainov.
