Friends! Hello. Welcome back. You may recall from last fortnight’s entry that I was unfortunately Not Having A Good Time, and I’m pleased to say that things have improved overall on that front. The injury’s pain level and the degree to which the injury was stopping me doing stuff (both physically, and mentally in the … Read More
Hello friends! I’m sorry to say I don’t really have a full entry to post this fortnight, so I’m going to skip this one. It has been a pretty tough fortnight – I’ve sustained a potentially serious injury (unclear right now), my mental chill and calm haven’t been ideal (this was the case before the … Read More
Hello everyone! This fortnight we have precisely 150 bugs fixed (or minor adjustments made) for the 0.11 release, following on again from the already tremendous count of my last bug-fixing release which came in at 100. By my count I’ve now resolved around 450 bugs on my list for the 0.11 release, which is absolutely … Read More
Friends, welcome back! Whereas in the past two updates I got most of the tutorial quest done and then finished it off and polished it – so these were both about sustained focus on one single item – this fortnight we have a whole load of small adjustments and improvements and polishes as I try … Read More
Hello everyone, welcome back! More huge progress this fortnight – really working at a cracking pace at the moment.

Great news this week – I have now implemented, and played, the entire tutorial quest from start to … Read More
Friends, welcome back! Today I begin something very exciting. Only a very small portion of this is going to appear in the 0.11 release, but as we find ourselves only weeks away from playtesting and I need to actually design the beginning of the game, i.e. where the curator of the museum you begin the … Read More
Hello everyone! I’m taking a short mid-year break right now to recharge, not do much work / game dev, and focus on leisure and relaxation for a little while, as well as catching up some larger but less “urgent” life admin / life jobs that need doing but can be hard to find the time … Read More
Hello friends, welcome back! Over the past couple of months we’ve been looking at the creation and implementation of the local map clue types, i.e. clues that show you something on the human scale (doors, furniture, trees, etc) – rather than the world scale (towns, cities, mountains, etc) – which the player might want to investigate. … Read More
Hello everyone! Welcome back. After a month or two of incredibly rapid progress on the 0.11 release in a range of rather exciting ways, I’m pleased to announce that we have… another fortnight of huge progress. I realised a while ago that I wanted to add in a riddle generator specifically for the university you start … Read More
