About
Right Angle Games is the name for my games and my website. And Right Angle Games is pretty much just me, Thomas (Tommy) Haaks.
While looking for a name to put in front of my bedroom coder games I discovered that my last name "Haaks" means "right angle" in dutch. I liked that and so the name of my virtual game studio was born.
Another option "Tomahawk Games" or "Tomahawks Games" (you know: Thomas Haaks -> Tomahawks... got it?) was already taken so I kept "Right Angle Games".
Below is my personal profile - just in case you plan to offer me a job with an incredible amount of money :LOL:
