I just discovered this interesting looking KickStarter, "From Bedrooms to Billions" a documentary about the UK videogame industry from 1979 to the present day:

I was expecting to see Antony Crowther the author of Knightmare, a mostly excellent game, and other hit games.

You might still -- they've not announced all the people they are interviewing, and with extra funding they can interview many more

I just took a look at the trailer and it looks fascinating. I hope they are able to get this documentary done, and I'd love to see similar documentaries done about the gaming industries of other regions.

I'm quite stoked about this now, having just watched some of the outtake clips:

And yes, they've interviewed Tony Crowther
No FTL though, but fair enough, it's about the UK industry
They've made their goal already, but are now going for a crazy stretch goal of £100,000!!! Just two days left...
