Over at the German adventure site, Adventure-Treff, there is a new video about how to play the game, So Blonde. Although the voice-over is in German, they’ve used an English version of the game so I think you’ll be able to get the drift of what’s happening. 🙂
I’ve just posted the 243rd Mr. Smoozles strip, so as you can see we’re rapidly approaching the 250th installment. Stefano and I have already started planning something special and what was going to be a single bumper strip marking the event now looks as though it might spread into one or two more. So look …
The Writers Guild of America announced last year that it would be creating a new award aimed at game writers. More recently it announced the shortlist, amongst which was the game The Witcher. But because I am not a member of the WGA or its New Media Caucus I was not included in the list …
I love the internet! Just when I thought interest in Nutso was waning, along comes this incredibly good review of the game. The reviewer appreciated it in all the ways I could have hoped for. “The game will get pretty engaging over time (being chased by a cute orange cat with a huge gun can …
I know that not everyone is of a persuasion that celebrates Christmas, but ever since I was very young I’ve celebrated it and I’m not even religious. Strip away the comercialism and there’s something it embodies that I think transgresses all creeds. I hope you all have a great time.

I posted something on the Juniper Games news blog. Now I think about it, I should have posted it here and then linked to it on the other one. Sometimes I think my head doesn’t quite work normally. Not that I’d want to fix it as it may ruin the whole creativity thing I have …
Congratulations to Denise (Ang) who was the person lucky enough to have her name drawn from the hat yesterday. A signed copy of the game will be winging its way to her next week. Many thanks to all of those who took part. I really appreaciate the response.
This piece over at the Develop site got my interest. Not only is it an excellent idea, but my friends over at Wizarbox are heavily involved, which is great news for them. Clearly, So Blonde is going to be part of a path to even greater things to come. Well done, guys.
There’s a piece on the Develop website, which covers a keynote speech by Jonathan Blow at the Montreal Game Summit. It’s a perfect example of how a person can be so right and so wrong at the same time. While he’s right that there is a need for deeper, richer games, the way he puts …
Nextcat is a new social networking site geared towards creative industries like film, animation and games. I’ve been chosen as one of the “featured talent” profiles on their main gaming page, so the least I could do is put up a link. 🙂 If anyone else is on Nextcat why not add me?
