Interviewed
The Adventure-Treff gaming site asked me for an interview almost as soon as the Sapphire Claw announcement was made. It’s now been posted on the site and you can read it in English or German.
Game pages updated
I’ve updated the pages for Juniper Crescent – The Sapphire Claw.

Juniper Games

Another Code release date
According to this news item over at Adventure Gamers, Another Code for the Nintendo DS is coming out on the 3rd June. Excellent news! I’m really looking forward to seeing how this game is being handled.

Oddworld goes to Hollywood
This article over at GameDailyBiz makes me wonder if it’s indicative of something larger. Is it a sign, written large, that the next generation consoles are going to be filled with safe bets, lack of originality and creativity and will tend towards a blandness that will drive away the gamers?
Protect your rights
GameDailyBiz has an interesting article which illustrates how important it is for creators and license-holders to protect their rights. Things must be bad when the FBI is involved…
