Tags: Din's CurseSoldak head honcho Steven Peeler didn't have time to contribute to our RPG of the Decade article because he was too busy being a prima donna, jetsetting, roguelike developing rockstar, but he still somehow managed to find the time to hang out with that slut Jay Barnson at Tales of the Rampant Coyote. I'm not bitter, though.
Rampant Games: Why indie RPGs? What prompted you to go after one of the most challenging game genres right out of the chute, and what has kept you on that path?
Steven Peeler: I like RPGs. It really is about that simple. Since I started Soldak, the “smart money” in the indie world has shifted from making match 3 games to hidden object games to iPhone apps and now to Facebook social games. I could have worked on any of these to “make the quick bucks”, but if I can’t work on something I love, what’s the point of being an indie?
