Over at Just Adventure+ a new feature has just been posted entitled, “A Chat with Independent Developers” which talks to a large number of developers about why we’ve chosen an independent route. It’s a pretty large feature that’s spread over a number of pages, but it’s certainly interesting to contrast the different responses. I believe …
At the moment I’m in the process of animating sheep for the game, Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso. One of the greatest things about developing this game is that I’m doing such a variety of stuff, much of which I never thought I’d get the chance to do again.
After eleven weeks in intensive care, my mother has, over the last week, improved to the point where she’s been taken off the ventilator and moved into the high dependency unit. Considering it was only a couple of weeks ago that the doctors were worried that they’d never get her off the ventilator, this is …
This article over at The Escapist is an interesting look at why the game industry is struggling to have a more mainstream appeal.

In spite of the fact that it’s yet to be released in Europe, Eurogamer put Psychonauts at the top of their top 50 games of the year. Congratulations to Tim Schafer and everyone at Double Fine. I’m so pleased that a comedy game is the top game – it really confirms my feeling that we …

At last I found a little time to create a new strip. I’m hoping to do a couple more during the week, so be sure to check back again.
I was quite excited when I read some time ago that Namco had aquired a license to make games based on the comic strip, Peanuts. However, now I’ve read news of their first game using the license, I find that I’m a little disappointed. Of all the richness that comes from 50 years of strips, …
The German site, Working Title, has put up a new interview they did with me. The direct link is here. You can find the English version here. The interview was conducted using Skype, which makes a refreshing change from the normal e-mail questions. Although I had the opportunity to edit the file, I’ve only made …
The new version of the old logo has won out, as you can probably see from the image on the left. The website has been updated, as have the products at the store.
I’ve been working on another variation on the logo and wondered if you would take a look and give me your opinion. Please study it very carefully as the difference may not be obvious at first. You can view the logo here.
