To clarify the situation further…
I have been asked by Randy, over at Just Adventure + to clarify the situation and to categorically state that JA is not boycotting my games and he’s happy to cover them.
Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso – Game Difficulty
I’ve been thinking about the idea of difficulty for the game. Although I’d already started implementing differing degrees of difficulty in the game, I had the feeling that something wasn’t right. My initial thought was to have three degrees of difficulty presented to the player as a choice when they chose to start a new …
I was wrong
It turns out that I wrongly assumed that a second adventure games site was not covering my games. I should have checked a little more deeply before making the assumption, but I missed the page on which they posted my recent press release. The situation is therefore not as dire as I thought. I apologise, …
It’s snowing like crazy
I hope it stops soon. I’m hoping to visit my mother again later.
Death of the Adventure Community
Further to my last posting, I’ve since found that the boycott extends to more than one adventure gaming site. For the moment, I’m still going to refrain from naming names, but considering that they have said they no longer intend to cover my games, I’m not quite sure why I should do so. (For those …
Standing by my friends
I just received the following in an e-mail: “I apologize for the bad timing to tell you this, but we here at ******* have decided to not cover your games as long as ****** works for your company. I have explained the situation to the ******* staff and they agreed.” (Names removed to protect the …

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 …
