This fortnight has been quite the ride and has involved a great deal of going through feedback from players and from my editor. There's been a lot to do, which, I'll be honest, combined with not having very much work time available hasn't always the most comfortable way of working.
Besides ...
2025-04-18 18:45:01 +0000 UTC View PostThis fortnight has been a lot more pleasant than the previous one: my shoulder recovered after a few days, and I was able to take a couple of days away from home to work intensively on getting The Earth Has Teeth work done.

Apologies for the lateness of this - I will try to make sure I post the April one in better time, and I hope you enjoy!
As someone who polyed with Max and Delacroix but got engaged to Blaise, what does that mean for the 4 of us by the time of Honor Bound?

2025-04-02 18:30:02 +0000 UTC View PostSome of the romanceable characters in THE EARTH HAS TEETH can be romanced non-monogamously. This is the most complicated non-monogamy setup I've done so far in a game, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out once I get there!
Armell is monogamous and ...
2025-03-26 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis has not been a very forward-moving fortnight thanks to a number of things which culminated in a seized-up shoulder today - so I will be brief as I can't be at the computer too long.

2025-03-12 19:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostA lot of planning, outlining and coding this fortnight for The Earth Has Teeth, with a hefty side order of revising. I drafted Chapter 3 - but it turned out it isn't actually completed, more of that in a minute. I've outlined and coded Chapter 4, and am pretty confident about it: lots of drama an...

I've been busily working on Chapter 3 of The Earth Has Teeth this fortnight! And I did do my Chapter 2 revisions, including streamlining some stats. I feel like every time I make a new game, I end up removing some stats early on - I always realise that there's more complexity than I need. In the ...

2025-02-01 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostWell, it's been brilliant getting back to work after the holidays. I wrote Chapter 1 of Project Amble, sent it off to my editor, and got it back in record time, giving me the chance to dig into revisions. I've also been coding Chapter 2, which is much larger and branchier than Chapter 1, and invo...
