Today's guest is John Ribbins, creative director at Roll 7 who are responsible for the BAFTA winning Olli Olli games. We talk through his development as a game designer and the surprising history of Roll 7, including games you play with your brain waves. We hit Urban Chaos, Rocket League, Doom, Death Tank, Bullet Storm, California Games, and the creation and development of Olli Olli. Believe me, he knows that it's hard.

UK studio Roll7 is best known for Not A Hero and its OlliOlli series, but the three-man team has been involved in the creation of games for many more years than its number of high-profile releases indicate.  Directed by Simon Bennett, Tom Hegarty and John Ribbins, Roll7 has worked with the UK government on educating young people in game design, worked on advertising projects with large brands and dabbled in the creation of games based around brain-interface technology. Here we talk to John Ribbins, chief game designer at Roll7, about his earliest memories creating games, his entry into Roll7, the studio's diverse history and 'house style' and more. Brought to you by the writers and creators of Independent By Design: Art & Stories of Indie Game Creation, the Indie By Design Podcast (IBD) is the show that goes behind the scenes to explore the world of game design and game designers.

We're just barely recovered from our marathon of game coverage at PAX Prime 2014 in Seattle, but we managed to crawl to the computer and edit together one hour of interviews for your enjoyment. Why? Because we're gluttons for punishment and we will do anything for our listeners.  Out of courtesy to you and your internet connection, we've broken all our interviews down into separate shows of about one hour each. We're also offering these up in sequential order of when we recorded them so you can hear us slowly deconstruct as we become increasingly exhaused and succumb to the effects of too much booze and not enough sleep.  This episode features: Shaz and Duncan Greenwood of Free Lives about "Broforce and Brospendables;" John Ribbins of Roll7 about "Not a Hero" and "OlliOlli;" Seth Rosen of Klei Entertainment about "Don't Starve Together;" Bunny Dast and Rikki Knight of On the Level Studios about "Boo Bunny Plague;" Armin Ibrisadic and Oscar Jilsén of Coffee Stain Studios about "Goat Simulator" for iOS and Android; Jon SmallWood from Deep Silver about "Escape Dead Island;" Adam Winkles of Asteroid Base about "Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime. Also, don't forget, details on how to win our gigantic PAX Prime Swag Bag will be on next Wednesday's show.  Enjoy.
