You may not know solo developer Richard Ogden by name, but you’re probably familiar with his portfolio; from Codemasters (Colin McRae, TOCA) to co-founding Bigbig Studios (Pursuit Force, MotorStorm: Arctic Edge). We caught up with him to discuss his latest title, Minutes, and the implications of going it alone.
Journey through a twisted form of bullet hell!
A unique slice of abstract action and gameplay purity. Collect, dodge, expand and squeeze your way across 60 intense levels. Can you achieve the tricky “Perfect” on them all?
Ryan Helms: "Richard Ogden is no stranger to the gaming industry. Currently working under his studio label Red Phantom Games, he's had an excellent international release with his debut title, Minutes. Before founding his one-person studio near the end of 2012, Richard had a robust career spanning nearly two decades in the industry. Some of the more notable companies he was with are Sony Computer Entertainment, Codemasters, and Bigbig Studios (which brought us bestsellers such as Pursuit Force and Motorstorm: Arctic Edge)."
Review for Minutes on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. It's about time. When a game developer opts for a minimalistic approach, it's always a bold move. However, few have mastered this modus operandi. The question is, does Minutes have what it takes to be a worthwhile experience or should you spend your time elsewhere?
