Here! And alive!

Yeah, I’m not dead. Not yet, anyway. The last ten days or so have been very hard. Fever, coughing, headaches, bronchitis… and after a day or so, Verena caught it too. Important things have been delayed and our lives have been thrown out of whack. We’re slowly getting better now, …

You Shall Know The Truth at Newgrounds

You Shall Know The Truth can now be played at Newgrounds. I’m too exhausted from working, being slightly sick, and having spent last night watching the Oscars, so I won’t tell you all that stuff about how it’s so important for you to support the game by telling others about …

You Shall Know The Truth

I’m pleased to announce the release of the second Wikileaks Stories game, You Shall Know The Truth. Your support (spreading the word, ratings, comments, etc.) would be greatly appreciated.

Whoa! and reptiles

The Great Machine: A Fragment (online version)

Something I hadn’t linked to before (because I didn’t think about it) is the online version of The Great Machine: A Fragment. It’s basically just the game’s Z-Code file run with Parchment, and it doesn’t print the text the way I’d prefer (in page-sized chunks), but it’s a nice way …

A Philosophical Critique

Tom Jubert (of Penumbra fame) has been writing a philosophical critique of The Infinite Ocean. I can’t tell you how excited and happy I am about this. Not just because he has positive things to say, though I won’t deny that it gladdens me; but because what I dreamt of …

Second-Hand Elf

The Escapist has just published by newest article, a strange little thing called Second-Hand Elf. I’m quite proud of it, though I’m very aware that it may bother some people. I was considering preparing a list of responses to the most common objections (“Tolkien stole from everywhere!” – simply not …
