PIXEL BOY
Dominic Obojkovits is 19. He started
developing when he was 16. In fact
he lied about both his age and his
location in order to get a game
development job that he completed
remotely, and when his employer
eventually found out by accident,
he was still so impressed with
Dominic’s work that he kept him on
the project. Nowadays he’s not lying
about his age, but he’s still producing
some pretty damn impressive
work. Dominic’s game Pixel Boy
garnered most of the attention at
A MAZE this year, and with good
reason. It’s an innovative mix of 2D
and 3D that immediately becomes
addictive to play. Coupled with the
fact that he is working with former
GTA IV environmental artist David
Nickerson on this quirky indie game,
would make it seem like Dominic has
a very bright future.
