Next week – Friday 25th Jan – I’ve giving a talk on game writing at Hull University. Apparently, it’s now fully booked. While this is a good thing from my point of view, those of you who might have wanted to attend won’t be able to do so. I’m always happy to give talks – …
I created a short promotional video highlighting the services I offer.
I’ve been invited to speak on a panel at the London Screenwriters’ Festival at the end of this month. The panel will be connected with writing for games, obviously, so if there are any of you who are planning to attend, please be sure to come over and say hello. There will be plenty of …
Adventure-Treff uploaded a video to their channel on YouTube in which I gave an interview at Gamescom. The grey hairs show up a bit too much in HD. 🙁
