And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when [...]

Puzzle Fuzzle
Remaking The Infinite Ocean is an interesting challenge; a lot of it has been very easy, but some parts of the process have had me badly stumped. The numeric puzzles are the biggest obstacle – while I had a basic idea of how to make them more accessible, translating that to something even remotely elegant [...]

Games are Art: The Romeo and Juliet Argument
A short video-type-thing about one of arguments that always get repeated when the “Are games art?” debate pops up again. I mainly did this to get it out of my head.

What happens when French people design software.
This is wrong on so many levels, it approaches actual beauty. It’s like poetry. Thank you, Multimedia Fusion. Thank you, Clickteam. You have made the life of a hard-working game designer a little brighter. Merci beaucoup.

And now for the end of the fucking world…
Last night I had a creepy dream about an asteroid hitting the Earth and generating a huge wave (or several, actually, in the dream). The dream wasn’t particularly realistic – my parents and Verena and I survived the second wave in a submerged car – but it certainly was frightening. Seeing that wave approaching the [...]

What I Am Doing Right Now
I have purchased Multimedia Fusion Developer 2, and will be using that to create flash games. And hopefully I will make some money doing so, because a) we need it b) that would mean more games. Right now I’m working on a remake of The Infinite Ocean to teach myself how to use my new [...]

Nexus City
Here’s a bit of news you might like: I’m collaborating on a flash game with Terry Cavanagh, creator of VVVVVV. It’s an RPG, and its working title is Nexus City. It’s set in Arizona. It’s entirely unlike anything I’ve ever written. You’re going to like it.

The Twilight Experiment returns
I don’t have enough time or strength for a long blog post – today’s been a hard day – but Verena recently published the newest part of The Twilight Experiment. Go read it, for it is funny. More about my too many creative endeavours tomorrow. (Did I mention you should vote for Echoes and Awakening [...]
