In this episode, we chat with William Barr from video games company Billygoat Entertainment in the company’s offices on the Lisburn Road. William’s love of videogames and animation from a young age led him to set up the company in 2010.
Billygoat have gone on to build games including adventure-led empire-inspired Her Majesty’s Spiffing and are currently developing Supermarket Shriek in which a boy and his goat traverse a supermarket. In this interview, we heard about William’s journey from boy to startup to an award-winning games company and the challenges of setting up shop in the games industry.
We asked him about the inspiration behind Billygoat’s games, being a socially awkward networker, the joy of joyless living and the thing he is looking forward to the most at the Games Development Conference in San Francisco - biting into a juicy Impossible Burger.
