I wrote a second SED game and it’s just been announced – Special Enquiry Detail: Engaged to Kill. The graphic is from the first game but I’m sure they’ll update that fairly soon.

A couple of years ago I wrote and designed a casual game called Rhianna Ford and the Da Vinci Letter, which was released on PC for download through Big Fish and other portal sites.  It’s now been released for the iPad.

I just happened to come across this great review at Jayisgames.com. “The first thing that makes it so unique is the engrossing and thrilling storyline, which starts slowly and builds momentum to a frantic pace” “Rhianna Ford & The Da Vinci Letter is a fun wild ride through a captivating story that grabs hold and doesn’t let go until you…

Gosh, it’s been a month since I last posted anything here. This year seems to be passing by so quickly… A new article, by me, has just been posted over at the Adventure Gamers site. It’s the first in what they hope to be a regular guest column using different people from the game development world. Thanks to Jack over…

I’ve been working with some great guys over in Eindhoven at the GameHouse studio on a few casual game titles they wanted some writing help with. The first of these titles, Delicious – Emily’s Tea Garden, has just been released over at the RealArcade site. If you enjoy playing casual games I’m sure you’ll love this one, too, so be…
