Gameplay demo footage for hand drawn platform game
Sunday, June 20th, 2010FIFA dont like Hawk eye goal line technology
Monday, June 7th, 2010England cleary deserved the goal scored by Frank Lampard in the World Cup 2010 quarter final against Germany. This goal would have counted if FIFA had chosen to use Goal-line technology such as Hawk-Eye.
The International Football Association Board decided to rule out the introduction of goal-line technology for the foreseeable future on March 5th 2010. (more…)
Game level sketch coloured with homemade custom photoshop paint brushes
Monday, April 5th, 2010I scanned in a rough drawing from my moleskin book – one I’m using as an environment game level in a platformer I’ve made. It needed sprucing up a bit, so I made some simple custom pencil and paint brushes to assist in giving it more life!

After I was satisfied with the level design, I planned it out a little more accurately on squared paper. (more…)
Braid – New Puzzle Platform Adventure Game for Xbox Live Arcade (not another shooter!)
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Braid is an XBLA (Xbox Live Arcade) puzzle platform adventure game, official release date 6th August 2008 on Xbox Live Arcade.
