So, The Book of Living Magic is out, and it looks like people are liking it. Some of them are even liking it a lot. You have no idea how relieved I am. You see, I was rather worried. As I may have mentioned before, when it comes to my work I tend to alternate [...]

Released: The Book of Living Magic
It’s taken much longer than I expected, but The Book of Living Magic is finally available, thanks to a sponsorship from Jay is Games. Jay is Games isn’t one of the giant portals, so I’m very grateful that they chose to give this game a home when very few others would. Donations will be greatly [...]

They were invaded!
I spent most of today creating the intro and tutorial for Catroidvania: Communist Space Cats of Venus, and man, it was fun. I wasn’t going to post this screenshot (I want to keep some secrets, and stuff is always likely to change), but I just can’t help wanting to share a little. As you can [...]

Communist Test Kittens
A primitive test level from Catroidvania: Communist Space Cats of Venus. The tiles and sprites are from the actual game, but the real levels will look quite different (as will the interface, barely present here). But yeah, this is happening. And I like it.

Spielsalon Kassel, and Games as Games
On Thursday we drove to Kassel to attend Spielsalon, an exhibition dedicated to “author games,” which included Alphaland. The drive took much longer than the internet had told us, but we still managed to get there before the exhibition actually opened up. I didn’t really know what to expect, so I was quite nervous. The [...]

The Making of “The Book of Living Magic” – Part Five
Here it finally is: part five. I’ve tried to be quite honest about the process (or rather my process) of making and selling a Flash game, so I hope this is interesting both to players and to developers.

Alphaland at Spielsalon
Something I forgot to mention in all the chaos lately is that my game Alphaland will be exhibited at the Spielsalon exhibition in Kassel. Verena and I will also be dropping by the exhibition on Thursday, the 14th of July. If anyone happens to be there and wants to say hi, please do. The exhibition [...]

Super Friendship Club
I just quickly wanted to plug this new forum for game developers: the Super Friendship Club. It’s a great place to ask questions, discuss your work and get feedback. (It is not a place for advertising your game or for discussing random meme-related stuff.) Don’t be afraid to join if you’re new to game development [...]

Goodbye FlashGameLicense
Selling flash games isn’t the easiest thing in the world, as you may have noticed from my grumblings every time I try to find a sponsor. There’s a lot of developers, a lot of games, and negotiating via email isn’t the most straightforward thing ever. So it would make sense for there to be a [...]

The Book of Living Magic – Sponsorship
My new game, The Book of Living Magic, is looking for a sponsor! If you’re looking for a fun (yet not entirely unserious) point & click adventure game for your website, or if you know a sponsor who might be interested, please contact me.
