Well, it’s been a while. Sadly, I haven’t been doing much game development of late. Or really anything since my last post … But I thought I’d revive this place anyway. More as a place to put whatever creative endeavours I work on than as a game development blog. So, what have I been doing […]

You may have noticed that I’ve not been updating regularly. Well, there hasn’t been much to post about. Until now! This week in development I’ve been working on a new game! It’s about witches brewing potions but they just can’t agree on what they should be brewing. It’s a game where players gather and use […]

Oh, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? I blame the terrible weather we’ve had over the summer. I can’t be expected to have a functioning brain when I’m busy melting into a puddle. This [time period] in development I currently have a notebook bursting with ideas, but none of them have developed particularly far. So […]

Another two week span as there wasn’t much until Sunday. Also, it’s a day late because I had a nap yesterday. It’s far too warm 🙁 This week in development The “area control card game” is still lurking at the back of my mind. I’m unsure whether it’ll form the basis of the cat collecting […]

It’s been a quiet couple of weeks (hence no post last week). Not much gaming done, but a bit of development. This week in development Don’t you love it when you think you’ve made a breakthrough with an idea, and then you realise you’ve reinvented Carcassonne? So, after abandoning that, I did some more development […]

A Dragon Age pin badge arrived for me today. It’s based on the Swords & Shields cover and says “It’s smutty literature”. I love it. This week in development How pleased I am with The Lion & The Unicorn and my enjoyment of Arboretum has given me an urge to explore ideas for simple card […]

I’m now 32, so obviously my memory is going in my old age, and that completely explains why this post is late. Get off my lawn! (I don’t have a lawn.) This week in development I’ve been thinking again about social deduction game ideas. I’m contemplating what options there are to affect another player in […]

Ooh, it’s a big, long one this week! Not just because I went to the UK Games Expo, but I got a fair amount of other gaming in too. This week in development No real development work this week. And while UKGE did give me a lot to think about, I didn’t go about making […]

I considered doing my standard bank holiday activity of skipping a post and folding it into next week, but it’s the UK Games Expo on Friday, so next week’s post will likely be a big one. This week in development No major development this week. Instead, I’ve just been getting things in order for UKGE. […]

This week in development The furniture shop idea seems to be going somewhere. It’s developed into a kind of race game. Currently I’m pondering whether the tile-laying aspect could be part of the gameplay, or just a mechanism to add variety to each playthrough. This week in games On Wednesday we had a good game of […]
