Continuing my pursuit to learn some C# and familiarise myself with Unity, I figured the best way to speed my learning was simply to make a game. The Unity tutorials are really impressive, but working towards my own goals and objectives I found I was able to lean a lot…

Despite involving a chuff load of work (and learning a lot! That’s the key bit here), everything visibly cool about this little game was supplied in the form of pre-existing models, animations and scripts. While the tutorial allowed me to write the PlayerController script, and a few other bits and…

Three Monkeys – the audio RPG I’m writing with Incus Games – has just launched on Kickstarter. As an audio game, with very little in the way of visual assets, it’s hard to sell the vision of the game to potential backers. To that end, our promo video – crafted…

Hello there! I haven’t got the time to do a top 10 – or the heart to rank them – but here are my four favourite games of 2014. Just because. WOLFENSTEIN: THE NEW ORDER Wolfenstein’s an interesting one, isn’t it? It has the DNA of a big dumb shooter…

I’ve written about games for years, but writing for them was always something that was in the back of my mind. In 2013 I got the chance to step up and have a stab at writing on the other side of the fence. Working with Incus Games, I’ve been designing…
