I’ve made my deadline and entered a tech demo of Little Simulated People into this month’s MAGS competition.
Download here, or view the rest of my games here.
Judging by the competition I think I might win this month…

I’ll have a tech demo up either tonight or tomorrow for MAGS. Until then I’m frantically trying to iron out bugs and add as much content as I can.
Art update
August 23rd, 2010I’ve done a couple of comics over the last few months, but for some reason I never got around to adding them to the art page. Well now they’re there! As an added bonus you can now also see the first (and – so far – only) five episodes of Tommy’s Funhouse, the webcomic series I started way back before I had clever technology like graphics tablets.
Teaser
August 22nd, 2010I’ve been procrastinating a lot recently both with this blog and a couple of AGS projects I should be working on. Had a computer death to deal with then a couple of weeks and several hundred pounds later I discovered I was somewhat lacking in motivation. So I started another short project instead. Oh well, I’m sure both will be finished eventually.
Here’s a slightly-cropped screen shot to make up. Click for zoom.
In other news I increased my year count yesterday. It didn’t hurt.
Comic: Highscore
July 10th, 2010I was bored, so I drew another quick comic. This one is based on a true story.

Anime Club ends
July 5th, 2010KC Green’s Anime Club webcomic has come to an end, so you should be over there reading it from start to finish. It’s in five parts, with the sixth being an early ending for April fools day.
KC is one of my favourite webcomic artists at the moment (and I’m signed up to a lot of comic RSS feeds). His jokes are often brilliant, although on the dark side, and even when they’re not the artwork is great. The guy really knows how to draw expressions. His longer stuff like the Anime Club also show his ability to tell a good story.
There’s more KC at http://gunshowcomic.com/, which is his current project, or at http://horribleville.com/, which is now finished.
PBF
June 7th, 2010The Perry Bible Fellowship webcomic unexpectedly updated this morning/late last night with this. Exciting stuff, because there’s been nothing new on there for ages. If you’re unfamiliar with PBF go and have a look at some of the comics on there. It’s pretty dark humour, but hilarious if you’re into that kind of thing. Nicholas Gurewitch is a great artist too.
Something old
May 22nd, 2010I’ve had Sam and Max Hit the Road since probably around the time it came out, and I only discovered today that you can play it in black and white by pressing the ‘B’ key during play. Huh.
You can also turn on ‘dummy verb mode’ by pressing the ‘V’ key, which labels the actions in your inventory. If I recall the manual there’s also supposed to be built in screensavers, but I’ve yet to see them.
Comic: Birdsong
May 14th, 2010Another comic, this one slightly better drawn. Click the image below for the full thing.
I need a way of constantly displaying images at their original widths. At the moment when they go over the maximum width of this area they get squashed which is clever but looks rubbish. The maximum width is 500-and-something pixels, which isn’t really wide enough to draw a comic in. Not been able to find which bit of Wordpress is responsible for this yet.
Comic: Ticking Time Bomb
May 13th, 2010Got out my graphics tablet again yesterday and drew this as practice. Click below for the full comic.
I discovered that it isn’t very easy to draw with a tablet and laptop while sat in an armchair. It’s even harder when the cat insists on sitting on you as well.
