If one of us gets into something, the other one will usually. GC: One thing I think is really amazing is that the 3D Artist and Animator for Atomic Society just so happens to be your wife. It sounds cheesy, but creating games feels like my life back. It was then just a matter of time until I came up with Atomic Society. It took me right back to how I felt when I first started at Rare. After that I just had to get back into development. My friend was able to code, so I tasted that buzz of seeing game ideas turn into reality at long last. If he hadn’t done that, and had a bit of knowledge, I don’t think I would’ve ever realized that I could still pursue my dream. Luckily, after a decade in the wilderness, an old friend called me up and asked if I fancied making an indie game for kicks. Despite being obsessed with games my whole life, I’d more or less given up designing them because of the nature of the games industry. I left Rare about 10 years ago and never wanted to get back into AAA development for several reasons. What was the transition like to go from Rare to starting your very own studio? GC:(For Scott) Before you started Far Road Games, you worked over at Rare at one point.
We recently got the honor of talking to Scott about his upcoming project simply known as Atomic Society. The studio consists of Scott MacDowell, a former employee of Rare, his wife Mariana, and Nick Stevens whose been coding since the days of the Atari ST. So I bet you’re wondering to yourself “How can it get even better?!?” Well lets let the small studio over at Far Road Games develop it. Well what if there was a game that combined your love of SimCity and your love of Fallout? There is, and it’s called Atomic Society. Games like The SimCity gave us the imagination of creating our own city and running it for an unlimited amount of time. Lets face it, the PC community absolutely loves simulation games.
