About

Hi, I’m Alistair. This blog is a collection of my thoughts and rants. I am passionate about game and software development, game design and cool technologies. I have moved from programmer to business owner and project manager and love to share what I’ve learnt during that journey with other game developers.

I live in Brisbane, Australia where I run a software company by day and make games by night. I’m working on my first indepedent game with some friends after leaving the games industry in 2007. After working for two game companies on three published titles (and one unpublished) over five years, I decided it was time to move on and make good, fun games. This dream, led me to where I am today, preparing to set up an independent game company with plans to take over the world.

I’d love to answer any questions you have: alistair@doolwind.com.
