Brits own up!

[zoombapup]

Erm, just taking a straw poll. Can anyone who is a british indie developer, or knows one (i.e. REALLY knows one, but who isnt on this board) please post a message in here?

I'm trying to get a clue of the scale of indie development here. Plus I'm trying to figure out how many places to book the uk indie meetup room for.

Just a quick headcount really.

[Dyno Kid]

I guess i count as half or .5 or 50% of a UK developer:P

[DanMarshall]

I am, but I'm not full-time. I work a day job making TV shows instead...

[Fost]

Moonpod is a Sheffield based company of two. We'd love to come to the meet.

We also know the Crystal Squid guys from when we worked at Gremlin, who are another two.

[princec]

There's me and Chaz.

Cas :)

[cliffski]

I work alone. when you see me drunk, you'll know why.

[Atomic Paul]

I'm British, I'm Indie and I develop (slooowly).

[Applewood]

I've mentioned I won't be able to make it any time soon, but posting here for completeness.

I know of two others who don't frequent here, but I'm also sure they won't go either for the same reason. I'll mail em anyway for you.

[Addictive 247]

Indie and British - count me in

[Nexic]

Me too... lah lah lah

[TheMysteriousStranger]

I'm a British bum...er I mean indie, but I won't be coming to the meet this time around. Too poor and too busy :(

[MibUK]

british, full time indie and broke here :)

[Oaf]

British, full time indie, but not living in Britain!

Does that count...?

[digriz]

Yep, british here too.

[Nutter2000]

British Indie here.

There's 3 of us, but I think only I'll be able to make it to the meet.

I know of another psuedo-indie so I'll pass this along to him and see if he's interested.

[Adrian Cummings]

UK veteran indie and proud of it I think (stiff upper lip mode)

[DanDanger]

Me! Me! Me! Me in scotland, does that count?

[siread]

Full time English indie here. :)

[Indiepath]

Full timer but now concentrating on Software and services more than games.

[GrahamGoring]

I'm a prospective one - once I get my current freebie project out of the way I'll be a big whore for money too. :)

[Fry Crayola]

Well, Irish, living in what is the UK but not Britain. So... take your pick.

That big body of water and my crippling funds mean meets aren't a healthy proposition for me just now...

[Jamie W]

I'm indie, and in Sheffield too, and also did a spell at Gremlin (once upon a time). Sadly may not be able to make the meet, as I sold my car to irish ram-raiders.

:p

[sillytuna]

Indie, British, and yes, SHEFFIELD based! Few ex-Gremlin and Rage peeps here too.

[JPickford]

Indie dev - 2 man team. Full time. Skint.

[Jamie W]

Okay, votes for holding the meet in Sunny Sheffield ???

[zoombapup]

Sod off with your sheffield ness.. Bolton is at least kind of in a reasonably central location, with a decent train/plane connection.

Sheffields out the arse end of nowhere :)

John, skint? :) I guess there are levels of skintness.

[JPickford]

You'd be surprised. We were just about broke a couple of weeks back till we got a bit of consultancy work. We've had to live for 2.5 years on savings\redundancy.

[Jamie W]

Sheffields out the arse end of nowhere :)

No problemo Phil, we know you're only jealous of our glorious city. ;) :P

[cliffski]

can't we do this like proper geeks, all plot our google earth co-ordinates and pick the average point?

[Sharpfish]

Meriden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meriden,_England) is the obvious choice. :)

[puggy]

Well, Irish, living in what is the UK but not Britain. So... take your pick.

So which part of Northern Ireland you living in atm?
I'm in belfast meself

[Fry Crayola]

Also Belfast, slap in the city centre.

[matibee]

I'm in Derby and I'm interested in the meet.

Five years on I'm still trying to make the transition from wannabe to be :)

[digriz]

I'm in derby too, so i'm very interested.

[moco]

I'm a Brit and an Indie, but I live on the Iberian Peninsula. Where does that leave me?

Am I the only one out here?????
