Here are some more things to keep you busy while we wrap up on the podcast post-production.

1. via gamesetwatch an interesting animated music video featuring Space Invaders which I am embedding below.



2. The Interactive Fiction Competition for 2008 is over and here are the winners! I am hoping to enter the next one as by then I should be properly conversant with Inform 7. Who knows? Might be able to submit Mindstar by then.

3. Also via gamesetwatch, an article on the state of the shmup by Edge Magazine.

Oh

I forgot to mention on here that I got linked to on GameSetWatch. Which is actually pretty cool considering I really like the site as is probably evidenced by my linking to them fairly often and having them in the right hand column.

Thanks again to Simon Carless.

First Post!

Woohoo! I get to say that once more. After several abortive/miscarried attempts at keeping a blog, I am here again...maybe this one will last?

Anyways, I was inspired to make this post after reading a post by the always insightful Chris Plante of Hard Casual over at gamesetwatch - link. It made me think about my whole plan to make videogames once I had settled down in Nigeria. The 'settling down' period has been going on for the last oooh 3 years and 6 months now, and it doesn't seem like I have made any head way at all into game development. Well, I am going to sit down and try again. So, this blog is going to have my game development exploits, as well as commentary on various games I have played or even some game design theory, and some other arty stuff.

Anyways, do rss and let's see if I can keep you interested!
