Podcast: Listen Now to UK Indie Game Devs - Mode 7

Right, we may occasionally come over as curmudgeonly notherners, but SPOnG is actually a keen supporter of local game developers. This is why we've decided to give over some of our resources so that you can listen to Mode 7 Games' joint managing directors, Paul Taylor and Ian Hardingham, and their regular, informative, insightful, interesting and utterly game-related podcast.

Visiting the Village is a weekly podcast that tackles the games industry's quirkier stories, as well as poking its finger gingerly into the disturbing recesses of the indie games scene. It's a discussion rather than a news show, and it strives to be fast, punchy and entertaining.

It's run by indie development studio Mode 7 Games (Determinance, Frozen Synapse) and offers occasional behind-the-scenes glimpses of their work.

These guys are not talking heads who've not been near a compiler. There's little or no waffling about demographics going forward out of the box: Ian is the Lead Designer and Programmer, Paul does Business Development, Marketing and Audio.

In this episode, the lads "discuss Intel’s attempt to take down OnLive, violence in games and a whole host of other guff. We also have Alex - Malakian - Hayes on the line, discussing his experiences playing through the Might and Magic 6 Pack from Good Old Games"... and much, much more.

Enjoy and don't forget Paul's regular column for SPOnG.
