FullIndie

Back in 2011 I was recorded for two podcasts along with some other indies and I thought I’d repost them here on my blog in case you are interested.

Podcast 1

The first podcast was recorded on 9th July 2011 at Alex Vostrov’s house in Burnaby, B.C. Chevy Ray Johnston was the host and Graham Jans was also present. The main focus of the podcast was about finishing and shipping your game with quite a lot of talk about working with artists.

Here’s a link to the podcast on youtube.

Podcast 2

The second podcast was also recorded in July at John Geoffrey Newman’s condo in downtown Vancouver. Alex Vostrov and I discuss a bunch of things related to being indie including the founding of Full Indie, and “asshole” developers.

I’ve remastered this podcast (with permission) to boost the volume.
Here’s a link to the podcast on Youtube.

The original blog post/recording by John Geoffrey can be found here.

I’ve just been interviewed for a site called BritishIndie.com. It’s a great site already brimming with many fantastic interviews.

Although I live in Canada and am now employed, I’m still British and still run my Indie company part-time, so I just about qualified for the interview ;-) The interviewer, Phil Carlisle (who I met at a couple of UK Indie meetups), asked some very thoughtful questions and answering them was an interesting process for me.

I was recently interviewed by BlitzMax Coder magasine issue 0.2 (Sept 2009). It’s a pretty long interview due to the nature of the questions being asked (and the quantity) and so it’s very comprehensive. I go into lots of details about how I got where I am today and I also share my thoughts about game design. Enjoy!

Gamezebo just posted an interview with myself and several other Unwell Mel team members. You can read about why we chose to make that game and some funny stories about the development. Enjoy.

A friend and associate, Roman Budzowski from Anawiki Games, interviewed me a couple of weeks ago and you can read the results of my rather lengthy interview here. I wrote so much stuff – I’m sure I could have turned it into a ton of blog posts! Anyway, it’s well worth the read if you haven’t seen it already.

There are also 3 other really interesting interviews on Roman’s site:

Chanon Sajjamanochai (creator of First Class Flurry and Shop n Spree)

Cliff Harris (Cliffski) (well known Indie developer and owner of Positech games)

Yaroslav Yanovsky (CEO of Enkord, creators of many Indie and Casual games)

All these are well worth a read, so hop over there now and keep an eye out for future interviews.
