And Gimli Said

I’ve been re-reading The Lord of the Rings for a while now. I don’t get much time to read anymore, and I’m often too tired to read when I go to bed. But I’ve been making steady, if slow, progress, and have now reached the middle of the The Two …

The Book of Living Magic – Sponsorship

My new game, The Book of Living Magic, is looking for a sponsor! If you’re looking for a fun (yet not entirely unserious) point & click adventure game for your website, or if you know a sponsor who might be interested, please contact me.

Terraria

We’ve been playing Terraria. No, wait, let me rephrase that. We’ve been living Terraria. We’ve been digging mines, building towers, planting forests, crafting items, constructing absurdly long skybridges with gardens on them and finding new ways of fighting corruption, all with a remarkable amount of obsession.

Should write something clever here

So, yeah, I”m totally sick. I’ve been looking forward to being back home for ages and now I’m spending half my time coughing up slime and the other half just coughing. And the food is really great, but I have no sense of taste. Bah. I did manage to get …

Hello all

We’re in Greece, and alive. Unfortunately I can’t remember half  my passwords, and can only post updates from the internet cafe, so I currently cannot say thank you for many of the kind birthday wishes that were sent my way. I will do so when we’re back in Germany! Work …

Not Ready

We’re going to Greece for two weeks tomorrow. My tooth has calmed down with the help of antibiotics, but it’ll have to be taken out as soon as we’re back. The two things that terrify me the most are flying and dentists. I started having nightmares about planes yesterday. My …

Linkies and stuff

A random assortment of links and stuff: The Book of Living Magic is completely finished. Currently just waiting for some tester feedback and trying to decide how I will approach sponsorship. I finally sent Terry my complete outline for the Nexus City prequel. I’ve already got a ton of notes, …
