It’s really, really quite hard to ride a motorbike. A 45 minute drive took us four hours. We got lost. We got separated. It was raining. It was torrential. Like, it was something feel fast?

HOW DID YOU END UP STARTING A BUSINESS TOGETHER?
In 2022 he left Flavourworks and we got chatting. I had just a really cool thing to take a swing at, because he’s got that and handling the more kind of business side of things. We just work really well together. We’ve got a long history Motorbikes. Creative writing courses. Learning to surf. Also, to go back to the bike rides, when you’ve literally got your life in someone’s hands, and they’re giving you directions over a helmet radio, telling you which route to take to not end up on the motorway, where you’ll immediately die ... I think making video games is probably a bit easier.
HOW DOES RUNNING ELECTRIC SAINT COMPARE TO LEADING THE ART TEAM AT MEDIATONIC?
going indie works for me because of my weird skill set. I’ll just lot more free in terms of what we can throw ourselves at.

Also, be aware of the things that you absolutely do not there’s a lot of practical things you also have to think of, and if you aren’t bearing them in mind, you’re going to struggle. If you have a dream game that you want to make, you can make adjustments to your goals, and being realistic and practical is very important.
