Jon McKellan | Founder of No Code on his roots in growing and sustaining an award winning company working on new IP
Description
This week I spoke to Jon McKellan - the founder, writer & director at No Code.
No Code are best known for Observation & Stories Untold and Jon's background among other projects was the UI / VHS / DLC guy on Alien Isolation.
He's a BAFTA award winning developer & No Code have been awarded one of the best places to work awards twice over among many others.
We discuss No Code's trajectory from mobile games startup into the weirder, more narrative driven content they're now known for.
No code are a scrappy, measure twice cut once developer which allows them to force into creation the scope and quality of games well above what you'd expect from a small team.
We also discuss Jon's role as a creative director and how the position has evolved as the team went from 2 to 25 over a 7 year period and about how being open to critical feedback from the team is a key to creating the work they do.
