I’ve been so focussed on my various projects that I’ve been neglecting my blog somewhat, so this is an attempt to rectify that to a degree. It’s been just over a month since I announced Star Sweet and Honey Heart and considering the relatively short time-span it seems to be going well with awareness growing …
Last night at BAFTA, William Nicholson gave a talk. Unfortunately, I wasn’t there, but there is a summary of tweets about it here.

According to the information the game is due out in October this year, so some excellent news, there. There is an official Captain Morgane …
Okay, the title is intentionally controversial as I thoroughly enjoyed last night’s episode of Doctor Who, but I can’t help feeling that the ending wasn’t the great cliffhanger Steven Moffat has been promising us. And for those who have ignored the spoiler warning, I really am going to mention stuff you may not have seen …
James Woodcock has just announced that he’s going to be running a series of articles on App Creation. This promises to be an excellent series and James has asked me to provide illustrations to accompany each of the articles. I hope that you enjoy the series.
