I was looking at my site log for yesterday and saw that there was hardly anyone visiting the Story to Nowhere pages. My impression is that it’s been like this for a little while – perhaps the initial impetus was lost when I put the strip on a short hiatus a while back. Perhaps it’s …
Develop have just put my interactive dialogue article online. This is obviously great news, but I thought it was a little funny in their summary piece, which seems to go out of its way to be controversial. While it’s likely to get more interest that way, I’m not a great fan of such controversy for …
For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been on Twitter for more than six months. At first I only joined out of curiosity and I’m not quite sure why I stuck with it, but after it gained a certain amount of momentum with the number of people I followed I began to see the …
To celebrate six years as a freelance writer and game designer, I’m giving away signed copies of my book, Writing for Video Games, to the two lucky winners of this new competition. Four Runners-up will receive key codes to the arcade adventure game, Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso.
Another day, another jump. Special Enquiry Detail is now at No. 3 on the Big Fish PC chart!
Over at the Big Fish site, Special Enquiry Detail: The Hand that Feeds is currently at No. 5 on their chart of downloadable PC games. Not bad seeing as it’s only been released a week. Fingers crossed it rises higher. 🙂
Congratulations to all the people over at Adventure-Treff. This week the site celebrates its tenth birthday, which is a real cause to celebrate. It’s great that they’ve lasted so long and that they’ve done such a good service to the adventure genre. The site has a specific page of messages and although most of them …
Over at Gamezebo, they’ve just posted a really good review of Special Enquiry Detail: The Hand that Feeds. The gameplay of Special Enquiry Detail is top notch, but what really sets it apart is its well-crafted story, which would be right at home in any crime show. The characters are (mostly) realistic, the mystery makes …
One of the casual hidden object/adventure games I wrote and did design work on has just come out: Special Enquiry Detail: The Hand that Feeds. The link will take you to the Big Fish site where it can be downloaded. You can play free for an hour to check it out or buy the full …
I’ve just created a characters page for my new cartoon, Octavius.
I didn’t think that I was going to get any guest cartoons – I suppose I should have given more notice in advance – but then I had a flurry of three and I’ve been posting them over at the Mitchell pages. The first guest cartoon is by the wonderful author, J. Robert King (whose …
I’ve been taking a little break from my comics and cartoons because my head was all over the place and I’ve been feeling tired, but since doing so I’ve created a new blog and started developing an idea for a new cartoon series, Octavius. Clearly, I need to get back to things before I come up with anything else new or I’ll be in a worse state than when I started.
