I did an interview with the Spanish adventure site Aventura y CIA back in 2007 and they’ve been holding back on it until the game’s release over there.

This time they also took the opportunity to include Jerome Britneff-Bondy from the fabulous Wizarbox team and the resultant piece feels quite substantial. Do be a good sport and …
I’ve just done a new interview with the GameBoomers site, which has just been posted. Also, I’ve been re-designing the Juniper Games website and have posted up the new pages this afternoon.
