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 [...]
They were invaded!

Projects page updated
The previous post was not meant to sound like I’m giving up. I’m not. I’m pissed off and disappointed, but I’m not giving up. Anyway, I’ve updated the projects page a little, also adding a couple of sub-pages. More will be added later.

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.

What’s up?
What I’ve been doing lately: Writing and rewriting the script for the Nexus City prequel. Talking to a couple of sponsors about The Book of Living Magic. I never thought it would take so long to sell, and I’m extremely frustrated that I can’t show it to you. (Or get paid, for that matter.) Working [...]

Book!
I mentioned it before, but here it is again: unless something terrible happens (and terrible things do happen all the time), Verena and I will be writing & illustrating a Greek children’s book for a small but dedicated Greek publisher. I don’t want to go blathering too much about it before all the details are [...]

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 [...]

Not Ready
We’re going to Greece for two weeks tomorrow. My tooth has calmed down with the help of antibiotics, but it’ll have to be taken out as soon as we’re back. The two things that terrify me the most are flying and dentists. I started having nightmares about planes yesterday. My father-in-law is dropping by today [...]

The Book of Living Magic, Progress Report 5
Quickly, quickly, I have work to do! The game is very close to being done. I’ve been slowed down by even more forms of physical unpleasantness, including a screwed-up back and a wife with the flu. Do you know what also slowed me down? My own stupidity. I forgot to implement a banana. And I [...]

The Guantanamo Files
Wikileaks has done it again – now they’re revealing hundreds of files from Guantanamo. The media, of course, will probably misrepresent these files, especially since they are written by the people working at Guantanamo and thus contain all sorts of highly suspect information. Don’t forget people were tortured to make the confessions recorded there. However, [...]

The Book of Living Magic, Progress Report 4
In a handy list: Progress has been excellent. I’m really excited about the game. My arm hurts less, which means I can probably finish it very soon. A new Making Of video will be released tomorrow. I’m working hard. That’s it, really.
