Now from the outset, I don’t claim to be anywhere near the levels of even thinking I could be too big for anyone to review or play my games. Even if I ever were successfully enough to consider myself “big” I am someone who genuinely believes we should never consider ourselves better simply due to …
I knew it was going to happen! Three days before I’m due to head to the Manchester PLAY Expo I get sick! It’s been on my mind that with all the late nights, long days and cold weather coming in I’m probably going to end up with a cold when I least want it. And …
First of all, sorry for not posting as regularly over the past week. I made a decision to have Glo in its final releasable state at least two weeks before launch. That way I will be able to focus on promoting it and will have the time to sort out any bugs that pop up …

That means I’ve not got as much to discuss this week. There is one thing however that I’ve wanted to talk about for a couple of …
Hey everybody, how’s it going? Hope you all had a great weekend! I took a break from developing this weekend to enjoy some more family time, but that didn’t stop me and my wife discussing some of the less intensive aspects of the game design.
