What better thing to do on a Sunday night but upload new content?
Act 2 is now off, with a look at how you should decide who you’re going to make your videogame for before you start making it. Honest, it helps!
You can get it right here.
There’s also a new index page to start the articles off in style.
As is fairly typical in the world, you spend hours (and weeks) slogging away on something only for someone else to turn up and do it better.
It’s focuses on the skills you should have if you want to be a games designer, and is well worth a watch.
Thankfully everything the mention in here matches up with things I’ve said in my articles thus far, so naturally I agree with everything they’ve said. Except, perhaps, the religion comment – I think that borders more towards a leaning of story writing and myth rather than game mechanics design.
After what, to me, feels like a small eternity, I proudly present a completely new look to the entire website.
It’s got a bit more colour and, bugger me, scrolls. More importantly it’s now fully laid out with CSS (I’ve finally relinquished my desperate clasping onto tables) and is nice and flexible for all the pages. The RSS feed now works better too (the link to the site actually takes you to the site, rather than a holding blog).
Finally, not only have I moved the how to make videogames section across but I’ve also (and this is why it took so bloody long) rewritten the lot.
The old layout was a bit of a fight against the space limitation I’d set myself, so some things got fairly heftily truncated. This has now been fixed, and the way is now paved for Act 2.
One final note – I’ve disabled comments for now. Simply because I only had one poster (hi Cristian!) and I’ve been getting about 10 spam posts every day.
I hope you like the new layout & colours and content. I’m off on holiday now 
The time has now come for Bloodstone to be released, and with it a swanky new trailer to show it off:
If you’re US bound it’s out today, if you’re in Europe it’s out this Friday.
