As some of you know my current day job was developing casual gambling games (yes there truely is a way to combine two addictive things together such as these) for the electronic bingo revolution that is sweeping across Canada (to keep a long story short, most bingo halls are going touch screen electronic systems to play now). The job was great, the pay was good and the employees are awesome to work with, I couldn't ask for too much more. In fact if there was one thing that could break me from this job it would be to make mainstream games.
As such when the opportunity arose I had to take it. So as of today I am now a full-time indie working for Max Gaming Technologies on some pretty exciting projects which are all unfortunately NDA until at least IGC.
Although we were very happy with the quality of the work that we have been doing up until now, we were also slightly annoyed about how it was taking 4x to 6x longer to get projects done due to the lack of time that we have been able to put into our projects (this goes for both contract and our own unique IP). Suffice to say I (and the rest of the team in fact) am pretty excited about what this change will help allow us to do, and that is make even better games that are more able to compete with the AAA market.
