Yesterday evening I visited Leeds where I attended an evening with Alan Bennett, an event for Script Yorkshire members. It was an incredibly enjoyable evening as you’d expect from such a man. Hi book, A Life Like Other People’s, is among my favourites.
It seems to me that the games industry is in danger of becoming like the old bingo industry. That may seem like an outrageous claim, so I’ll explain my thinking…
Earlier this year I wrote a blog post about game writing rules, which seems to be getting a bit of interest again. I thought I’d mention it again in case you missed it the first time.
For the first time in quite a while I won’t be attending the annual shindig in Germany. Previously held in Leipzig and then in Cologne last year and this, I always thoroughly enjoyed attending and meeting up with some of the wonderful people I know. So, if you were hoping to catch me for a …
We’re often asked to see the parallels between the games industry and the film industry, but for those of us who work in Britain we may not want the parallels to go too far or the future of the British games industry may be bleak.
There is no Story to Nowhere episode today – sorry. I was so busy over the weekend doing tasks around the house and visiting June in hospital that I simply didn’t have time to fit it in. I managed to do two Mitchell cartoons, the first of which appeared yesterday, but so far I haven’t …

For those of you who are interested in such things, Rhianna Ford and the Da Vinci Letter is now available on the iWin site. If any of you don’t know, I wrote and designed this game for Green Clover Games. Of course, I’m sure you’ve all bought it from Big Fish by now anyway. 🙂
It feels like I’ve returned from a long trip where my chance to connect to the internet has been severely restricted. However, the phone line has been fixed and my broadband service has resumed so I can catch up on a few things. I’ve already posted updates to Mr. Smoozles and Octavius and a new Mitchell cartoon will be posted tomorrow, then hopefully the full schedule will resume as normal.
I’m going to have extremely limited internet access over the next few days. BT were supposed to be fixing our noisy phone line and now we find that we have no phone and no broadband. I’m using another connection at the moment, but I don’t think it’s very secure, so I’m only going to use …
If you’re still thinking of entering the competition, or have somehow missed it, this is a quick reminder that it closes next week so be sure to get your entries in before it does.
