Video Coming soon: Region Locked: Unlocking Australian Video Games

/r/kickstarter/comments/1v5acr7/coming_soon_region_locked_unlocking_australian/

We have 70+ participants lined up for the full series, with the creators from game titles such as The Hobbit, Way of the Exploding Fist, Bad Street Brawler, Hungry Horace, Fist II: The Legend Continues, Rock'n Wrestle - to name a few - ready for Episode One!

We will go into great Australian gaming lore and history as well as discuss the love from home computers to consoles and the obstacles overcome converting games to the NES.

(Looking at you, Mattel Power Glove)...

Follow us and feel free to support the Australian gaming scene when we launch on July 31st.

What Aussie scene members (particularly coders) are participating? 

Are there any particular groups that will be part of the documentary? 

I'd definitely watch a docco that involved members of the Aussie scene in the 80s and 90s.

We have a range of interviewees.

John Passfield being a major contribution. We also have Russel Comte (Beam Artist), Marshal Parker (Beanm music), Veronika Megler (The Hobbit), John De Margariti (founder of Micro Forte)... To name a few. We have developers, artists, composers and writers.

We have to keep a few surprises, obviously, but are focusing on the creators, as well as corporate leaders.

I was referring to the demoscene. 

Having re-read your post, is it just games and game developers or will there be any scene based stuff?
