UK programmer WLTM UK developer
A very dear friend of mine is looking for a new job. He's brilliant, and has famous games under his belt. Any major UK games developer would snap him up.
However, he's after a more modern type of developer: faster turnaround, small-but-exciting games, UK based. Healthy pay. Platform irrelevant. Anyone know any established but cool and interesting mobile/web/downloadable/episodic games companies within driving distance from the M25 that are doing the games of tomorrow for the New Consumer?
I'm interested in knowing about these companies too. That middle ground between full AAA game, and casual web game. Who's occupying it?
Suggestions in the box, pls...
Lol can you also get me a high paying design job?

If you find any you can add them to my Wiki

I would consider producing an indie title
on his own, if I was him. Maybe in his spare time while working for a bigger company?

Doom RPG is probably the best example of the highly polished mobile genre. I've tried a few games and that's the only one that really stood on it's own.

Go Indy!?
Microsoft are making a big push for indy content. They will support you if you develop original content for Live Arcade and the returns aren't so bad either.
