<p>On the podcast this week we have Ally Low, founder of LowTek Games. LowTek burst onto the indie scene last year and have continued to grow from there. Working on both retro games (that you can actually play on NES, Dreamcast and soon to come to Gameboy) and dyslexic friendly titles and game-making tools. We spoke to Ally in February before his talk at the Tinderbox collective's Play Away Festival. In this episode, Ryan and Ally sit down for a catch up on everything he's been up to since then (Spoilers, he's been busy... he always is). </p> <p><br></p> <p>Ally speaks about everything from his ever-growing Tik Tok presence to his work on his upcoming title, 'Tapeworkm Disco Puzzle' as well as the recent release of Disletek and his arts and crafts animation side projects! He has been incredibly busy, we're not even sure that he sleeps. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Also, Ryan is returning for this episode...</p> <p><br></p> <p>If you have any feedback or questions, leave a comment below or send us an email.

<p>On the podcast this week is <strong>Gary MacCarten</strong>, the CEO of Dundee-based AR and VR specialists <strong>Pocket Sized Hands</strong>. This chat with Gary was another of the terrific conversations put together by Sebastian MacKay of <a href="https://anchor.fm/scottish-business-podcast">The Scottish Business Podcast</a> earlier this year. Seb’s kindly let us re-air all of his videogame interviews, including one-to-ones with <a href="https://scottishgames.net/2021/05/15/sgn-podcast-interview-with-maxwell-scott-slade-glitchers/">Maxwell Scot-Slade of Glitchers</a> (makers of <a href="https://scottishgames.net/2021/05/15/sgn-podcast-interview-with-maxwell-scott-slade-glitchers/">Drive Buy</a>) and <a href="https://scottishgames.net/2021/05/08/sgn-podcast-interview-with-marc-williamson-tag-games/">Marc Williamson from Tag Games</a>.</p> <p>Gary gives Seb a younger games company’s perspective on the industry and Scotland as well as an insight into how an indie studio can use consistent client work as a launch pad for developing their own original titles. Originally from Ireland, Gary also explains how Abertay University attracted him to Dundee in the first place and the important role that the university and its links with local veterans has played in fostering a healthy industry.</p> <p>If you've have any feedback or questions, leave a comment below or <a href="https://scottishgames.net/get-in-touch/">send us an email</a>.

<p>We’ve got another brilliant archive interview for you this week with <strong>Maxwell Scott-Slade</strong>, the director of the BAFTA-nominated, Edinburgh-based developer <strong>Glitchers</strong>. The conversation was conducted by Sebastian McKay of <a href="https://anchor.fm/scottish-business-podcast">The Scottish Business Podcast</a> and follows his similarly enlightening chats with <a href="https://scottishgames.net/2021/05/08/sgn-podcast-interview-with-marc-williamson-tag-games/">Marc Williamson from Tag</a> and <a href="https://scottishgames.net/2021/04/24/sgn-podcast-interview-with-colin-macdonald-rivet-games/">Colin Mcdonald from Rivet Games</a> that we’ve previously featured on SGN.</p> <p>Seb caught Maxwell just a few weeks before Glitchers <a href="https://scottishgames.net/2021/04/02/out-now-drive-buy-glitchers/">launched</a> their fantastic "delivery car combat" game <a href="https://glitchers.com/drive-buy/">Drive Buy</a>. The pair chatted about the business side of preparing to release a game and a whole swathe of other interesting topics in this tangent-happy episode, including: the value of the Switch and the Nintendo eShop as a platform for indies; the difference between being doing client work and being a collaborator; building a sustainable studio in a title-focused industry; Maxwell's eye-opening trip to Tokyo; and even Maxwell and Seb’s strategies for surviving a zombie apocalypse.
