Co-Founder of IND13 online magazine from indies for indies. IND13 has been created to fill a gap discovered in the magazine and publishing market – a title aimed at people interested in independent games development. Our team of people working in the independent gaming industry came together and created IND13 to fill that gap. Independent gaming is huge across the globe and in the UK, 80% of UK studios are making games for online and mobile. Thousands of independent games are being made each month and millions of people are playing these games. Angry Birds, Temple Run and Plants Vs Zombies all came out of Indie studios. There are plenty more successful independent games to follow with the ever increasing popularity of smart phones and tablets, Ofcom reported that 56% of adults in the UK now own a smart phone and 24% own a tablet.
