That'd be me. Hi there!
My name is Tomi Kähkönen. I've graduated from the Huittinen Vocational and Business College in 2008 where my first game, Infection, was my thesis project. It was comprised of the game, its documentation, a marketing website and even a physical release in the form of a CD housed in homemade packaging, along with an instruction booklet. After graduation I have worked on computer repair and maintenance as well as in the realm of electronic invoicing and financial software services, specializing in project management and coordination in the role of a Senior Product Owner. Developing games has been a hobby of mine all along and as of 2026 I am aiming to make the role of independent game developer my main occupation!
As seen above, I am also assisted by my two fuzzy co-developers: Arya (the black, sassy one) and Brienne (the tiny brown one).
WHAMGAMES has been a brand name used to represent my independently developed games since 2008. While most games are fully self-developed from start to finish, some projects have drawn in external support in the form of programming, art, sound, music and voice acting efforts. Majority of projects are created using the Adventure Game Studio engine, though some projects have also branched out to the Godot engine. For more information check out the games page!
Proudly Finnish, WHAMGAMES has been based in the city of Tampere since 2008 with the current 'headquarters' located in the somewhat-scenic Hervanta suburb.
It's not that bad, honestly! Definitely not terrible.
