I’m planning on moving the blog to a WordPress blog over the weekend. I’d have done it this evening but I’m waiting on some server stuff to be sorted before I can. So if you find that everything is screwy then this is the reason. Although I’ve been reasonably happy with Blogger, some of the …
Having just changed the look of my blog, I now find out that Blogger are going to end FTP support so I’ll no longer be able to host my blog on my own site, which is a pain. I’m not keen on the changes so I think the best thing would be to change to …
I decided to pull out one of the scenes from the “never to be published”, Call of Cthulhu: Destiny’s End. This takes place near the beginning of the intended game. Emily has taken car keys belonging to her father, Michael, and her new friend, Jacob, is waiting for her. ___ Emily leaves the house with …
I was sorely tempted to add Beneath a Steel Sky to my list of Top Ten games in the previous post, but I think that would be bad form because I worked on it. Although I didn’t do any of the writing and design, I still think it’s not something I should put on a …
I was waiting for my blog to update with the latest changes (it always seems to take so long…) and thought I’d create a list of my top ten games. Although I’ve created a list, the specific order may be a little varied depending on my mood. Day of the Tentacle Portal Grim Fandango Psychonauts …
As you’ll see, I’ve given the blog a bit of a makeover. I got fed up of the old look and the size of the font was a bit on the small size. I’m not fully happy with this yet, so there may be more tweaks to come, but I think it’s a vast improvement.
Jurie, one of the organisers of GFG has posted some thoughts about the conference in his blog. I’d like to thank him for being so kind about my talk. This is indicative of the high level of respect and friendliness everyone who attended showed.
I’ve been invited to appear on a panel at the Writing Industries Conference and the Programme has just been annouced. As you’ll see, the day’s event is packed with great discussion panels that are sure to interest a wide range of writers. The programme schedule will appear shortly. The panel I’m appearing on includes Graham …
The trip to Germany was pretty uneventful, although Hannover was really cold when I got there – about -7 degrees centigrade. Thankfully I was met by someone who drove me to the hotel. He was also taking Darius Kazemi to the hotel and it was nice to meet a fellow speaker so soon, especially when …
The trip to Germany was great and I’ll blog about it properly over the weekend. When I got back I’d discovered that I’ve been confirmed for the Writing Industries Conference. This will be very different to the one I’ve just attended and will be pretty exciting to see such a broad range of writing disciplines …
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 …
Last night I stayed up late (for me) and spent a little time on bits of a novel that I’ve been fiddling with for some time and yet has not progressed very well at all. Much of the problem has been getting the right tone and voice for it and last night I think I …
