My online comic strip, Mr. Smoozles, will soon reach the 300 mark, which is a pretty good achievement, but one I couldn’t have done without the valuable help of Stefano. We have something a little special lined up for strip 300 and then we build on that over the coming months. Please be sure not …
The more dedicated of you may have noticed that I posted a new screenshot from The Sapphire Claw. I’ve been doing a fair bit of work on this inbetween my other work and have reached a point where I can move forward once again. One of the first changes is that it’s now called The …
There seems to have developed a major snobbery in the gaming world – if a game isn’t hardcore then it’s undeserving of any real consideration and you’re an “imbecile” (not my word) if you happen to be a housewife who enjoys casual games. Where did this all come from? Games are meant to be fun …

We recently revisited the interview, tidied up a few things and added more detail. It’s ended up being quite lengthy, particularly as I like to ramble at …
… at least, something not connected to So Blonde. 🙂 I’ve been experimenting a little with a new style. Not fully sure, yet, how it will actually work in game and which game I’m going to use it on, but I think it would be fun to do.
Unfortunately, I didn’t win the Writers’ Guild Award. However, a big congratulations to Rhianna Pratchett who wond the award for her script for Overlord. And many thanks for the very kind words in your acceptance speech, Rhianna. Well done, too, to Andy Walsh who fought our corner when there was the inference that game writing …
Tomorrow night is the awards ceremony for the Writers’ Guild Awards. For those of you who’d like to see me win the Best Game Script category for my work on So Blonde, please wish me luck, keep your fingers crossed and sacrifice a goat in the hope that it will influence the outcome in some …
Either I’ve not been paying attention or there’s a lot more creativity coming out of the gaming woodwork at the moment than there ever has been. I just saw an article on Eurogamer about the forthcoming game, Love. This looks like a truly creative and exciting project and something I find intriguing, particularly as, with …
