News from Jonasland

Now with bullet points: It appears I may be writing an article of the kind where you actually get paid. About games. This is very cool. More when the time comes. The Infinite Ocean is finished and waiting for music. I’ve installed a personal wiki on my computer to help me keep track of the [...]

Monsters

My review of Monsters is now up over at Commentarium. Please go read it, and watch the movie if you get the chance – it is possibly the most remarkable movie of the year, and one of the best movies I have ever seen. Seriously. It represents everything I aspire to achieve as a filmmaker: [...]

Phenomenon 32 is people!

A podcast called Pretty GameCast has done an episode about Phenomenon 32. For some reason, hearing people talk about my work (as opposed to reading what they wrote) freaked me out a great deal. But the results are pretty nice: fair praise, fair criticism, and an interesting look (for me) into how people perceive the [...]

Zathras

You live there. Zathras lives here. You dress like that. Zathras dress like this.

Thematic Questions

I’m considering changing the website’s theme. I like this one very much, but it’s very narrow, and with the website starting to get rather full (and more content already being on the way), a slightly different approach might be better. I’m very enchanted by TwentyTen, the theme we’re using for Commentarium – it has a [...]

The old Lie

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to [...]

Muahaha!

Almost done with The Infinite Ocean 3.0. If I manage to make a bit of money with sponsorship, this might finally give me enough free time to do another patch for Phenomenon 32. I’d really like to fix a couple of design issues that have been annoying me ever since the game came out, but [...]

Freedom is a real thing

On this anniversary of 9/11, I thought I didn’t have anything to add to what I said last year. But as it turns out, Michael Moore does have something to say, and I think it’s very important: If the ‘Mosque’ Isn’t Built, This Is No Longer America We’re rather poor right now, but I donated [...]

Reviews, reviews, reviews. And a bug.

As promised, we are regularly updating Commentarium. There are now reviews of Solomon Kane, The Disappearance of Alice Creed, Rushmore and Timer. Read them, and spread the love. Still working on The Infinite Ocean. After encountering a massive and massively stupid bug in Multimedia Fusion and figuring out a way around it, I am now [...]

Room 4

Despite having the mother of all headaches, I managed to do some very nice work today. I finished every little bit that was left of The Infinite Ocean‘s inventory and password systems, and then did something actually interesting. Now, as you probably do not know, The Infinite Ocean consists of eight rooms, which the game [...]
