Filed Under Projects, Random, Utilities | Leave a Comment

Yes, the long silence is broken with something that definitely isn’t a Poing community level preview (coming soon… honest!). Instead… well, what on earth is THIS?

Presenting the first (and possibly the last) screenshot of: EightyForty, an oldschool DOS-ish screen prototyper! Boring, nerdy and geeky, yes? Hell no! This is the cutting edge, I tell ya…

Copious apologies

Filed Under Competitions, Projects, Retro, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

I said I’d post some more teasers of the new Poing! PC community levels over the weekend. I failed. Miserably.
Sorry folks. You deserve better! I have slapped myself on the wrist and will remedy this by posting some teasers later in the week.

Not that I would ever consider doing such a thing when there is so much else to be done, but here (in no particular order) are five ways I quite often end up using the interweb to waste time…

A grab bag of stuff

Filed Under Commercial, Flash, Free, Indie, Mac, PC, Retro | 2 Comments

So, after taking a few days to see what is happening next, I’m still no huge distance closer to figuring out my next project. Or am I?…

Sunday trailer park

Happy Easter! Here’s a couple of interesting trailers that I’ve been meaning to mention.
IGN have posted a Night Game gameplay video which showcases the ambient, physics-loaded exploration platformer from Nicalis (yep, the team that Nicklas “Nifflas” Nygren is working with, if you didn’t already guess from the footage). It’s coming out later this [...]

No more waiting! If you’ve wanted to have a go at the massive XBLA hit Braid then finally you can. A demo download is available from a few places including Big Download, FileFront and the official Braid homepage (which, understandably, is pretty snowed under).

I’ll get you next time, Gadget!

Filed Under Projects, Utilities, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

Today’s blog post is about gadgets. Not the cool type of gadgets (like, for example, the gorgeous-looking Optimus Maximus Keyboard), but boring buttons, labels and spinboxes. Yeah. I know what I’d prefer to be playing around with…
Specifically I wanted to ramble on about the gadgets I’ve stuffed into Dalyn’s Quill, and about some [...]
