*Quote: *"With the growth of indi games over the past few years, and a

resurgence in retro titles through mediums like Xbox Live Arcade, and

WiiWare; the usual methods of game development aren't considered the

only route anymore. Sure a studio can spend millions producing AAA

titles with mutli-million dollar marketing budgets, but it isn't always

necessary. Success can be found with smaller teams, or in some cases

with a single lone developer.

 

Case in point, Positech games, a one man company that has produced some

very interesting titles, often with complex simulation elements rarely

seen in the more arcade or puzzle centric indi-development world. To get

an insight into what it's like being a bedroom developer, alltern8 had a

sit down with Mr. Positech, cliffski himself, and asked him what it's

like being a one man band in the gaming industry."
