The news, with bullet points: The Book of Living Magic is now on Kongregate! Not only is it on there, but it’s been frontpaged! This makes me extremely happy, since as you probably know it’s been relatively difficult to get the word out. What makes me even more happy is watching people figure out some [...]

Matt Chat 112: Museum of Broken Memories with Jonas Kyratzes
Part 2 of the Matt Chat interview is out, in which I somehow manage not to make a complete fool of myself. It also contains a visual that made me laugh out loud – thanks, Matt, that was awesome!

Shouting silently from slippery rooftops
I’m in a weird place right now. On the one hand, there’s a Matt Chat interview with me on the internet, which still feels utterly surreal. On the other hand, it’s been surprisingly hard to get any publicity for The Book of Living Magic, despite the rather warm reception it’s gotten from players. Talk about [...]

Matt Chat Interview (Part 1)
I cannot tell you how surreal it is to watch this. I’ve been watching and enjoying Matt Chat for ages, and actually appearing in it is… just… bizarre. In a very sort of good way.

Murmurs from the Lands of Dream
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.
