XboxWorld Interview with Krome's John Passfield

Company

XboxWorld has an interview with Krome Studio's John Passfield on Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2 : Bush Rescue! John reveals how much bigger the sequel is to the original Ty game, from the world size, number of characters, missions, dialogue lines, to the many minigames and other improvements.

John also comments on the challenges and the future of the local industry....

"Being independent in Australia is very tough. Robert Walsh, our CEO, has spent more time overseas this year than he has at home. The big publishers are all based on the West Coast of the USA, so that makes things tough. But I think the future for the Aussie industry is looking extremely bright. The number of talented people making games now is increasing all the time. There are so many job opportunities now it's incredible. There will be a slowdown when the industry transitions to Xbox2 and PS3, so expect people to talk doom and gloom, but after the transition the industry will be back bigger and better."
