The Downside of Nostalgia [Repost]
Originally posted on Gut Instinct:
“Back in my day” is a popular phrase that has become increasingly common in recent times. It’s probably not that recent—I’ve read older books where the author bemoans the newer generations—but it’s becoming far too common, so much so that it really needs to be addressed. Just have a look…
Mythos Update #2: Length and Progression
It’s time for the second Mythos: The Beginning update! As of this week, I’ve reached two important milestones in Mythos: The Beginning‘s development. Firstly, last Monday marks one month since beginning work on the game for the Indie Game Making Contest. Secondly, at the time of writing, Mythos has finally reached 50% completion.

Mythos Update #1: Difficulty Settings
Well, it’s been about a week since the public demo of Mythos: The Beginning went online, and in that time I’ve received from pretty good feedback on which direction the game should take. A hot topic that’s been brought up a few times (and something that seems to be an issue with games I make … Continue reading
Sun Bleached Winter Giveaway #3
Okay, I know what you’re thinking. You read the title of this post and your first reaction was “Giveaway #3… he’s running another one!?” Well, it’s that time of the year again. To build up hype for my upcoming novel Blood Lake (and to spur me into action to actually work on it some more) … Continue reading
NaGaDeMo Conundrums…
Hot on the heels of the last update, I’ve been working on NaGaDeMo contest entry and I’m having a bit of a dilemma: what exactly do I want to do with this game? If I continued working on the game as it is now, I could have it finished and ready for the submission deadline … Continue reading

The rules are deceptively simple: spend a month making an hour long game in any genre — the winner gets a cosy $10,000. Last week, I said I wanted to take a break from game development, but … Continue reading
Fare thee well, RPG Maker
So, it’s come to this. I’ve had a long, hard think (the really reflective kind, with whiskey and melancholy music) and I’ve come to a sad conclusion. I don’t want to develop games anymore. There, I said it. A massive weight has lifted from my shoulders. It’s hard for me to say this, but RPG … Continue reading
Just Do What You Love [Reblog]
If you wanna write… then just do it. There’s no such thing as “I’m too busy” or “I never had time to follow my dream”. All you have to do is sit down and write a couple of hundred words a day. How long can that possibly take? Half an hour? Is it really so … Continue reading
Path of the Dead by Timothy Baker [review]
As you guys must know by now, I’m somewhat obsessed with zombies. I’ve seen basically every zombie movie in existence, eagerly watched all four seasons of The Walking Dead and have played more Resident Evil than probably anyone at Capcom has. I own multiple copies of all the George Romero movies (even the crappy ones). … Continue reading
New Beginnings
Wow. It sure has been a long while since I’ve given an update on One Night 4, hasn’t it? According to the information on the title screen, the last demo was released in April 2013 — over one whole year ago. In the meantime I made the move into commercial game development and even released … Continue reading
