Developer Biography
John Passfield started his career as a developer for the Microbee System, with Chilly Willy (1984) and Halloween Harry (1985), both published by Honeysoft.
In 1993 he teamed up with Steve Stamatiadis to found the studio Interactive Binary Illusions. There, he created a new version of Halloween Harry in 1993 (also known as Alien Carnage) and the graphic adventure Flight of the Amazon Queen (1995). They were working on a third title, Stereo Jack, but that one was eventually cancelled.
By 1996 Interactive Binary Illusions evolved into a new studio by the duo, then called Gee Whiz! Entertainment. Two games were created: the Halloween Harry Windows sequel Zombie Wars (1996) and Mike Stewart’s Pro Bodyboarding (1999). They were also working on a concept called Screen Opera, similar to what The Sims would eventually become.
By 1999, Passfield and Stamatiadis teamed up with Robert Walsh to found the studio Krome Studios Pty Ltd. There, Passfield co-created and designed the games in the TY the Tasmanian Tiger series. He remained there until 2005, when he left and sold his shares.
By 2006 he was the Creative Director at Pandemic Studio Pty. Ltd.
