Capybara co-founder Vella to deliver Develop Conference indie keynote

Capybara co-founder Nathan Vella will deliver the opening keynote for the Indie Dev Day track at the Develop Conference in July.

The talk, entitled Growing Together: Being an independent studio in 2014, will focus on lessons learned by Vella managing a team of 20-plus for almost nine years.

He will look at the potential for small indies to grow their teams, and the opportunities expansion can bring to game development.

As well as Vela, indies Mike Bithell, Dlala’s Aj Grand-Scrutton, Spilt Milk’s Andrew Smith, The Tiniest Shark’s Mitu Khandaker-Kokoris and Positech’s Cliff Harris will also host their own sessions.

The Develop Conference in Brighton takes place between July 8th and July 10th at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Brighton. The Indie Dev Day will take place on Thursday, July 10th.

The Develop Awards will take place on the evening of July 9th at the same venue.
