Richard Taylor is a proud-to-be-indie game developer who began programming as a teenager. His first game project was working with others on an online multiplayer RPG--&ldquoOdyssey Online Classic"--which is still around in some form today. Richard worked as a freelance programmer throughout university, and is now focusing his coding work on Android game projects. "Flying Aces" was his first commercial success, "Rokon" is an open-source game engine which he founded, and he is currently working on two upcoming games, a "Pipe Dream" type of game and a quality 3D multiplayer pool game. He has also worked on non-game applications for Android, the most recent a Bluetooth remote control application.

Richard studied for a BSc in Experimental Physics at the University of York, England. Currently working towards a postgraduate MPhys qualification in Experimental Physics.

His experiences reflects the situation in which the vast majority of Android developers find themselves--as independent developers, often working part-time on their projects, looking to make commercially successful games and hopefully begin a self-made career on the Android platform.
