We talk with the co-founders (Oskar Stålberg and Richard Meredith) of the indie games studio Plausible Concept, the studio behind the multi-platform game BAD NORTH. 

Having worked on games such as The Division, Little Big Planet 2 and Little Nightmares, they decided to come together to set up their own studio to release their own game.

Oskar and Richard discuss;

  • How they came into contact with video games development from childhood.

  • The projects they worked on before forming their own company.

  • How they met and agreed to co-found their indie studio, Plausible Concept.

  • How the idea of Bad North came about.

  • What skills they required to bring this idea to life.

  • What processes they put in place to organise and orchestrate their small team when creating Bad North.

  • How different skillsets can impact the team.

  • Should you do market research before creating a game? 

  • How listening to your game can shape your game.

  • The challenges of financing their game.

  • The benefits of finding a publisher.

  • The future of Plausible Concept and Bad North.
