With there being enough depressing stuff in the news regarding good ol\u2019 Blighty to shunt the Earth off its axis, we thought it would be both timely and nice to celebrate some of the best British indie developers out there today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So without further ado, here are five of the best indie developers plying their trade on this sceptered isle of ours. Starting with\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bithell Games<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Debuting with the surprisingly heartfelt platform puzzler Thomas Was Alone in 2012, Mike Bithell<\/a> made an immediate splash on the UK games scene. In 2015, Bithell would follow up with Volume, a Metal Gear Solid<\/a> style stealth-based actioner set in a dystopian British society where players must hack terminals and enemy robots to expose a corrupt regime (it\u2019s really good).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His next big title? John Wick Hex<\/a>, a tactical, hex-based effort which brings Keanu Reeves’ puppy avenging face shooter into a completely brand new (and somewhat unexpected) genre. We can\u2019t wait to see more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello Games<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A breathtakingly ambitious space odyssey where whole galaxies are procedurally generated, No Man\u2019s Sky<\/a> somehow seemed a far cry from the pint-sized studio at Hello Games<\/a> that was putting out two-dimensional stunt bike games just a few years prior. Indeed at first, it appeared that No Man\u2019s Sky was almost too much for the small studio to handle, with delays and somewhat lackluster launch dragging the studio down in the early goings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Sean Murray and his crew stuck with it, constantly patching and adding new (and more importantly, free) content to the game until we have what we see today – No Man\u2019s Sky Beyond<\/a>, the latest version of the game that boasts multiplayer support, VR support and a veritable avalanche of content. Crazily, this looks like just the beginning of another cycle of new updates and content for No Man\u2019s Sky too – a grandiose achievement from a remarkable British indie superstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Llamasoft<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A British indie that’s been around for so long that he remembers when the Dead Sea was still alive, Jeff Minter and his tiny Llamasoft<\/a> outfit have carved out a massive niche for themselves in hypnotic and often psychedelic arcade shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the zenith of Llamasoft\u2019s offerings is Tempest 4000<\/a>, a 3D shooter where players must maneuver a laser spitting claw spacecraft around a series of geometric prisms, laying waste to a horde of incoming enemies. With a superbly judged difficulty curve and a premium on old fashioned high score grabbing, Tempest 4000 is emblematic of one of the best and longest-running British indie outfits out there today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roll7 <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Absolute masters of the two-dimensional plane, Roll7<\/a> came to prominence off the back off of its OlliOlli<\/a> games – a pair of sublimely playable, BAFTA award-winning<\/a> two-dimensional skateboarding titles that effortlessly sat at the top of the genre. Stick that up your Tony Hawk etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, the prolific British developer has gone onto release NOT A HERO<\/a>, a hugely enjoyable and hyperviolent 2D assassination shooter where players must murder various gang kingpins for a crazed city called \u2018Bunnylord\u2019. So er, yeah, that\u2019s a thing. Also a thing is Roll7\u2019s little known next title called \u2018BeatFighter<\/a>\u2019, to which the developer says on its website,
\u201cThis is so far off that you might just die of old age before it is released. We sincerely hope not.\u201d We hope not too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Paper Games<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Though relatively new British studio White Paper Games is only two games deep into its tenure on the British indie games scene, the Mancunian (That’s Manchester based to the rest of you) outfit has shown a keen eye for well-told stories, sophisticated characters, and an atmospheric setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proving such superlatives true is White Paper Game<\/a>s latest offering, The Occupation<\/a>, a first-person detective adventure where players play an investigative journalist attempting to expose a political conspiracy in a late 1980s dystopian North West England. Though we\u2019re not sure what comes next for the studio, we\u2019re certainly sure that whatever it is will be worth the wait. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
