Some updates…
Visiting my mother in hospital is still occupying a lot of my time, but I’m mostly managing to keep on top of things. I even managed some time to create a new Mr. Smoozles strip. Progress is very slow on my mother’s recovery and she’s still in the intensive care unit. When we visit, she …
Mr. Smoozles is missing
Those of you who regularly follow Mr. Smoozles will have seen that there was no strip on Friday and again today. I’m sorry that I’ve been unable to find the time to create the strips. I’ve had a lot of writing and game development work to get on top of and something had to give. …
Da Vinci Code, the game
Over at Adventure Gamers they have this piece about the announcement of the game based on the film based on the book. I’m not quite sure how they’re going to create an action based game without straying from the strengths of the book. Surely a fairly straight adventure would have been better? Perhaps as we …
And Then There Were None
This game has already been released in the US, according to Adventure Gamers. That’s a whole two weeks early! 🙂 I don’t know when it’s releasing in the rest of the world, but I mention it here because I did some script editing work on the title. I have no idea about the gameplay as …
Not just games…
I discovered this post via the Projector Films blog. I love the fact that the internet is opening up opportunities to independent creativity in a way that’s allowing people to make some money. The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that the internet is really the way to go for me.
A ray of light?
Following the gloomy feeling of my last two posts, I must say that a smile came over my face as I read this article in the latest issue of The Escapist online magazine. The idea that the whole of South America is poking Sony and Microsoft in the eye creates a warm feeling in my …
Fewer and Fewer
This piece over atEurogamer highlights another major problem with the increasing expense of making games. Soon only the very biggest publishers will be able to fund the development of “top” games and so in a few years’ time we’ll be reduced to a handful of big publishers as they grab all of the smaller ones. …
Are expensive games becoming unfeasible?
Reading the latest issue of MCV, it’s very easy to get the impression that there is a lot to be worried about in games development. Both the US and Japanese retail markets show a fall in game software sales of around 24%. When you take into account the fact that this software is now spread …
The Curse of the Were Rabbit
Today I went to see the film, Wallace and Gromit – The Curse of the Were Rabbit. What a hilarious film – so much so that I’m going to have to see it again. The attention to detail is amazing and the dedication of the creators is unbelievable when you think of the amount of …
Funny thing, writing
Never having written a book before, I must admit that the process has taken me somewhat by surprise. Although I have mapped out what I want to say by creating a chapter list that contains a few paragraphs on each, when I sit down to start each one I’m briefly filled by a feeling of …
