Interviews with developers

Post by Chroelle »

Well I have been thinking about what we would like to know about game-developers, when we interview them.

I have pictured Mark Darin as our first victim, as he has already agreed to being interviewed by us, when the feature is up and running.

Mark Darin is the developer behind the following games:
Nick Bounty series:
Nick Bounty: Case of the crabs
Nick Bounty: Goat in the grey fedora
Brain Hotel

Questions:
What inspired you to do the games the way you did?
In brain hotel you used alot of "weird" interactions to get through the game, where did you get those ideas?
Nick Bounty is a great game character, will we be seeing any more of him?
Are you currently working on another game?
What got you started with making freeware games?
What keeps you going making freeware games?
What will stop you from making freeware games?
If you could choose any game in the world, which one would you love to do a remake/sequal/look-a-like game of?
Will you do it one day, or what is stopping you doing it?
What other freeware game-developers can you recommend, that makes great games? / Who is your favourite game developer?
What is your favourite freeware game?
Which of your own games is your favourite?
What events/daily chores makes you think gameplots the most/ what are you doing when you get your game-ideas?
Would you consider joining CWF? (Don't know about this one!)
What is your current stance on commercial games (prizes).

Feedback and more questions please! :) :idea:

It would be great if everyone could look at this list again and come up with additional questions. Feel free to point out questions for other developers than Mark Darin too.
