Not the kind of thing I usually post, but I was digging through my bookmarks and found this excellent comic framing a quote by Ira Glass.

I originally found it on a South African game development forum that I was thinking of posting my work on during the dead-period early …

I see it's almost a month since my last blog, so here's a wall of text to cover that.

No screenshots to show for the reasons below.

I got practically nothing done in November

Nothing I can show off at any rate. A bit of animation work for my games, …

Last night I was bored.

And as it so happens, when I get bored I either end up playing a lot of games or trying to make one.

I settled on the latter for a change.

Since I want to take part in the Ludum Dare October Challenge, I thought …

I'll do the usual thing and keep a running log here of what I'm doing.

A friend and I were going through some of my old games and he wanted to see me play Exile. It's been just over 3 years now since I made it, and I actually managed to dig up the original …

I'll be writing a cumulative 'review' here, along with any problems and workarounds I encounter.

It feels like forever since I've even had any tangible progress to report on any of my projects.

In fact, it's been a while since I've had time to work on a project. Retail is soul-crushing.

A few weeks ago I basically handed in my notice, and will no longer …
