Yesterday, I approached Auran in the hopes of setting up a Q&A between the developer and you guys. Auran was happy to oblige.
For those of you out of the loop, Auran is the Brisbane-based developer behind the RTS Dark Reign and more recently, the massively multiplayer hack’n'slash Fury.
All you have to do have your question considered is to submit it as a comment to this post. Once I’ve had a look, it’ll be published for the world to see. If it’s particularly good, it might even end up in the final Q&A. We’ll be accepting questions until Friday afternoon so get your thinking caps/shirts/fertility pants on and your mind cogs turning.
This is a great opportunity to chat candidly with a great Australian developer. So consider your questions carefully as only serious efforts will be accepted.
As a little something extra, Auran is offering two copies of Fury, signed by the developers, for the two best questions we receive. That’s a treat in anyone’s book.
If this goes well, I’d definitely look to organise further open Q&As with other developers.
Now, start commenting!

I’m asking this far too late but…
Why was a game that appears more to be fantasy Unreal Tournament marketed towards role players as opposed to the action crowd?

OK, I have a little preamble before my question…
I like to think that the Australian game development community is at the same stage as the Australian film industry was about 20 years ago. We’re certainly capable of producing accomplished video games, and there’s definitely an industry here, but Australian developers aren’t yet recognised as heavy hitters.
I’d like to ask Auran’s opinion of the potential they see within the Australian industry. Is it destined to remain a cottage industry, or are there major opportunities for Australian developers on the world stage?
