This has been coming together very well and I have a short demo up and running on my computer. It still needs a bit of work before I can start showing it around, but I’m really pleased with the way it’s looking so far. I need to polish the dialogue and try to get a …
I’ve just finished an e-mail interview for a guy writing an article on game writing for the UK magazine, PC Zone. I may have rambled on a bit, so it will be interesting to see how much he uses. 🙂
I’ve been spending a good deal of the last few days working on SC1. I have worked up the design of the first section in more detail, developed some of the characters and even written some initial dialogue. I’ve also been preparing some backgrounds so that I can establish a style. I’ve decided that the …
So, another year draws to a close and we’re all a little older and, hopefully, wiser. The gaming industry seems to have gone a little crazy with overloaded hype that perhaps led us to believe that some new games might be a little better than they actually were. We were also shown that greed makes …
Well, another Christmas has come and nearly gone. I’m stuffed with turkey and mince pies and sitting at the computer writing a few words before working on some artwork in Photoshop. Such is the drive of my creativity that even on this most festive occasion I find myself drawn to do something. I went to …

Thinking that this week would be mostly preparing for Christmas, I find that I’ve been spending the last few days on a couple of personal projects. With the possibility of some interest in GN12, I have been working on condensing it down into a one-page overview. As it’s been a little time since I visited …
Here’s an interesting quote I found over at Idle Thumbs: With the introduction of next-generation consoles such as the Xbox 2 and PS3, software design houses will be required to put more manpower and capital into developing new games to cope with demand. So I think that there will be no room for small-scale design …
Quite some time ago I started on a sitcom and when I turned freelance I used the opportunity to finish off the script and start sending it out. I received some very favourable responses, but so far no one has taken it up. Being busy with other work has meant that I’ve left it alone …
I was reading the latest issue of the Nightcrawler mini-series (it’s great having a son who buys comics) and something hit me about the way the story was unfolding – the writer keeps having characters tell us what’s happened instead of showing us it happening. In such a visual medium like comics you’d expect that …
Nearly four weeks ago I posted an entry about my rising interest in Jazz. Thanks to Andrew Stern, who offered a couple of recommendations, I’m now starting to build up a small collection. Though “Stardust” is taking a little getting into, I love “Mingus Ah Um” and is exactly the type of thing that I’m …
One thing I noticed, which I thought was really odd, was that objects you are holding cast shadows, but you/Freeman don’t. The immersion dropped a notch at that point. 🙂
