I was at a lost for words when I learnt that ”Game Developer Magazine” is coming to an end this July. The official line can be found here. My introduction to GD Mag was back in 1996 when I visited Los Angeles for the first time, I was walking around the airport magazine store when [...]
About 6 months ago I attended Unite 2012 in Amsterdam (Holland), if you have never been to a Unity conference I highly recommend it. Not only do you get to learn new things about Unity but you generally get to peek at the new stuff before it is on general release, this time round it [...]
It would appear that this is going to be a slow process of getting up and running with the Raspberry PI. Today the cases arrived. Still no power supplies though! Still these are quite cool cases, love being able to see the internals and the Raspberry PI logo on top. The only issue I would [...]
Just been reading the news that Mike Singleton passed away a few days ago on October 10th, my respects go out to his family. I was never fortunate enough to have met Mr Singleton, which considering just how small this industry is, is surprising. What I do know about the chap is that he had [...]
Its been a busy few months and although things are not likely to get any slower in the foreseeable future I do feel that I haven’t been paying as much attention to my writing as I perhaps should be.

It’s been nearly 4 years since Karen and myself left England and set off on our great adventure. Our plan was to explore the world outside England, visiting a country on holiday is nothing like actually living in it for an extended period of time. So through my profession as a game creator we headed [...]
About a year ago I did a visualization of my professional (LinkedIn) networks and I thought a year is a decent passing of time in which to take another snap shot to see how things have evolved. LinkedIn – 2011 Blue and Green – Electronic Arts / Bullfrog / Mindscape Pink – Microprose Orange – [...]
Unity’s (http://unity3d.com/) annual developer conference Unite (http://unity3d.com/unite/) is next week in Amsterdam and yours truly is lucky enough to be going. I expect to discover new and awesome things about Unity 4, I’m sure I won’t be disappointed. If you should happen to notice a sun burned bald Englishman with a goatee looking deep in [...]
