Paul Taylor - Mode 7 Games

Indie Development: risks, rewards and extensive opportunities to eat biscuits! 

Having produced two games, one of which was a giant gaping failure and the other of which did quite well, Paul Taylor looks at the risks, rewards and extensive opportunities to eat biscuits which are
part and parcel of indie development.

 

Paul Taylor

Paul Taylor is the Joint Managing Director of Mode 7 Game and worked with co-founder Ian Hardingham on their first title, the ludicrous indie sword-fighting game Determinance, while completing his university degree.  

After Determinance, Mode 7 moved on to produce Frozen Synapse, a hit PC and Mac simultaneous-turn-based tactical game which has hit Steam's Top Seller lists several times and received countless critical accolades, including a Golden Joysticks nomination and a coveted 9/10 from Edge.  

Paul is responsible for Mode 7's business development, marketing and PR as well as taking an active role in development which sees him contributing writing, audio, music, art direction and aspects of single player design.  

For a while, Paul combined his work as an indie developer with freelance writing, contributing to magazines such as Computer Music, Remix, Edge, PC Format, PC Plus and PC Gamer.  He still writes a monthly column on video game music for Computer Music."
