I realize this is being posted everywhere, but it’s just too incredibly cute.

Privileged Despair
A couple of days ago, Wikiquote’s Quote of the Day came from celebrated idiot Eugene Ionesco: I believe that what separates us all from one another is simply society itself, or, if you like, politics. This is what raises barriers between men, this is what creates misunderstanding. If I may be allowed to express myself [...]

Voice Recording Extravaganza!
Today we recorded all the lines for two of the main characters of Phenomenon 32, Dr. Anna Halvorsen and Dr. Emma Bronstein. It took a fair bit of time – it’s now half past one at night – but I am very, very happy with the results. Telling this story is great fun, and I [...]

Two Things About The Humans
Our friend Sebastian visited us yesterday, and there are two awesome things from last evening that I wanted to share: The first is The Man from Earth, a movie written by Jerome Bixby (his last work, in fact, completed on his deathbed) and directed by Richard Schenkman. It’s a very simple story: a teacher quits [...]

Random Fact of the Day
The dialogue/updates/etc. of Phenomenon 32 comprise more than 6000 words. Not bad for a game that was supposed to be mostly visual.

Ears and infusions
Verena’s been having a problem with her ear, so the last couple of days have mostly consisted of waiting for doctors and getting infusions. Not fun, but hopefully she will be OK. I haven’t managed to get any work done at all, and right now I’m too tired to do anything meaningful. This is a [...]

17/11/1973
36 years ago, the fascists came to kill those who stood up for freedom and democracy. But for all their violence, they couldn’t kill the idea of freedom. This is what Greek people celebrate on the 17th of November. Today, it’s starting to become acceptable to excuse the crimes of the fascists in the name [...]

New Desert Bridge walkthrough
I just got this email: Hi Jonas, I’m somewhat proud to inform you that one of the most gifted walkthrough makers in Holland has responded to my question to him to make a walkthrough for The Strange and Somewhat Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge. The result is a stunning piece of work [...]

You can never have enough story
I have good news that are also bad. Phenomenon 32 is getting close to being finished. All that’s missing is the “endgame” areas – that and the new voice acting I recently decided upon. Yes, I’ve decided to add a few more characters (and actors to voice them). It’s an important decision, because it means [...]
