Leaving Limbo

Hey, I missed a post last week. Sorry about that. I blame Christmas MADNESS*. 

It's been a busy few weeks. The whole "YouTube is collapsing" drama combined with Machinima being bought out kinda...

Making the Top 100 Games Series.

NEVER. AGAIN.

I started work on this god damn series in June. JUNE.

I thought this would be a fun thing to make. A video on the top 100 games of all time. Easy, simple and nice and fun. First ...

Thank God For VR

Thanks to illness, hospital visits and many, many hours playing Battlestar Galactica for charity we had zero progress on the games front this week. Instead of the current dev log thingy I'm going to w...

The Greenlight Game - Part 3

You know when you decide something is a good idea and once you've started you realised that it was literally the worst time ever to do it.

The Greenlight Game - Part 2

Updates from possibly the most tiring week of my life. Far too much talking to people wearing ties. Phone calls that literally lasted whole days. Said the word "Accounts" too many times. Was sick a lo...

The Greenlight Game - Part 1

Multi part post about making a game AS WE MAKE IT?! OK, here we go!

So, like I mentioned last week, I want to make a game for Greenlight. A short little game that we put less resources into so if we...

Learning From My Mistakes

Sorry for the late post this week. I may have not even noticed it was the weekend.

So, I really fucked up bits of the games I've already released. Really badly. Let's talk about some of them fuck up...

The YouTube Sky is Falling!

Well... No. Not really.

So today a whole bunch of YouTubers had some of their videos un-monetised for not being "advertiser friendly". Big YouTubers made noise. Everyone had a panic. I updated m...

No Man's Sky

"I like to design games so that everything the player does and doesn't do ties into the main goal of that game."

I wrote this sentence a few days before No Man's Sky (NMS) came out on PS4 and, w...

Oh When The Saints...

Some new wallpapers for you this week based on the new YouTube header based on Saints Row 2 based on video games based on gangsters based on crime based on life on the streets etc etc.

It's 3am....

So. Games.

Today, I'm going to talk about the games we're making. I won't be revealing what they are just yet, just how I'm going about making them. And yes, I said "games" not "game".

There are five. One ...

YouTube's Bad Words

There are two ways I get described when it comes to YouTube and I seriously dislike both.

1. Influencer. 

What a horrible word. It's the go to for 50% of business related...

A little bit of art for you

Rebecca is re-doing the IRL header right now so I figured I'd share the test painting she did for it. 3 guesses what it'll be when it's done.

Also some very lovely messages on last weeks post. I...

The Impasse

On one hand YouTube is the best thing to happen to me. I play games for a living. Editing is easy. I can work from home. It pays OK. I've had many great and wonderful moments in my life because of it....

A little tease for something special coming up next week.
