AustralianGamer probes Michael Dobele from Halfbrick

AustralianGamer have a ten question interview with Halfbrick Level Builder / Scripter, Michael Dobele, on his favourite games, what it's like being in the games industry, and how he got into game development...

I completed a games degree at QANTM back in 2004 and during my final year my friends and I developed a “MarioKart-esque” racing game with crazy characters on scooters called “Scooterama” and entered it into the Australian Game Developers Conference’s independent games competition where we took out first prize.

Winning that award instantly put us in touch with the majority of Queensland based studios and it wasn’t long before nearly all of the team had been employed in the various studios.

Head on over to AustralianGamer for the entire interview, and if you have a few minutes to spare, be sure to follow the link at the end of it to send him a few further questions to answer!
