Yesterday we spent about an hour and a half editing one paragraph. One. Paragraph. Still, it’s absolutely worth it, and it’s bound to get quicker as we get to the parts with less exposition and more action. And I have to say, editing is a fascinating process. You can really …
Spent more than three hours editing the prologue to Verena’s novel. It was good work; we made the text clearer, removed things which didn’t work, and added several things which do. It still needs a bit more work to fill it out, but we’ve taken it from a rough draft …
A small percentage of people have been unable to play Desert Bridge because of a very, very bizarre problem. I have conducted a number of tests to find out what is causing the problem, but have only found some small hints. It looks like some systems can’t deal with the …

Desert Bridge now has a proper installer, a manual, and stuff like that. I have fixed quite a few little bugs and inconsistencies that cropped up, and sent out one more version to the testers. I am very much hoping to release the game tomorrow, but I can’t promise anything. …
Sorry for not updating – first I had the flu, then a piece of my filling broke off and dug itself into my gums. Thankfully, while the whole thing was unpleasant, the damage to the filling itself was not severe. The dentist removed the sliver from my gums today, and …
Helen has written an interesting post on the (excellent) music she composed for The Strange and Somewhat Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge. And if you click here you can read it. Go on. I’ve got work to do. The final beta is approaching.
Desert Bridge is almost complete. The game is fully playable, all the graphics are there, and almost all of the cosmetic details too. Right now we’re waiting for Helen to finish the music, and then… well, then you get to explore the House at Desert Bridge. Now, if there are …
