For those interested in music that goes way beyond the bland nature of much of today’s popular offerings, why not try out a series of concerts in my home town of Hull. More information about the Seeds and Bridges concerts can be found on their MySpace page. Some excellent tracks on the page, too, to …
Writers News is running an online competition with my book, Writing for Video Games as the prize. If you haven’t yet bought it and would like the chance of winning a free copy, hurry over to the site and take part. The draw for the competition winner takes place on 15th April. Good luck!
There is no new 0.5C strip this week. I must have been tempting fate too much by creating a comic strip about people approaching fifty – I injured my back on Saturday doing some digging in the garden and I’m too uncomfortable to sit at the drawing desk and pull the strip together. At some …
One of the things I find is that I think a lot. I’m not sure it ever does me any good, but I’m sure there must be a good reason for it. Perhaps I’ll work it out one day. But seriously, thinking is an important part of how I address what I do – from …
I’ve just posted the second of the 0.5C strips. I’m really pleased with the look of this one. 🙂
I’ve just spent the day in the garden and decided to check my e-mail to find that 3000 messages have been bounced back to me as though I’d sent out a pile of spam from my domain e-mail. Clearly someone is sending them out using a nonsense name @juniper-games.com. Presumably, because the bounces are coming …
I’ve just posted the first episode of my new strip, 0.5C, which will be appearing in parallel to Mr. Smoozles. Although the strip’s appearance may be a little sporadic at first, I hope to be able to settle down into a regular routine shortly. Feedback greatly appreciated.
At last, the game I’ve been working on has been announced! So Blonde is being developed by Wizarbox in France and is to be published by the excellent German publisher, DTP. It will be published worldwide under their Anaconda label. I’ve had a lot of fun working on this game and I hope that players …
http://www.myspace.com/ttisband Check out this new band, the Theory is Sound. they have a very mature heavy sound which makes me think they’ve been around for years instead of having just put together their first demo songs. Take a listen, I’m sure you’ll be impressed.
For the casual visitor to the blog it may seem that I’ve suddenly gone mental. Last year I started posting my old Developing Thoughts articles on here because the original site no longer had them available. Then I became lazy after the tenth and it’s been nearly a year since that one went up. So …
Interaction Density I came up with the term “Interaction Density” when I was part of a long forum discussion on the way there are no adventures targeted at 8-13 year old boys. Why did the likes of “Day of the Tentacle” and “Monkey Island” appeal to this age group when they came out, yet today’s …
Back-Story No, this isn’t the story of how I’m in constant pain with my bad back. But now that I’ve brought it up, I wonder how much sympathy I can garner from mentioning the stabbing pains that run up and (That’s enough, Ince. Get on with the column, you pathetic wimp – Ed.)Ahem. Back-story falls …
