Here's a question for you: what was the first ever video game?
A question which I always thought lacked a satisfactory answer. This video is my attempt to find one - or at least a reason for ...

Still writing the soundtrack for 'First Video Game', but at least the vlog is on time!

I'm approaching the end of my 'First Video Game' project, and it's fair to say it (along with the summer heat) has taken its toll. We'll find out if it was worth it soon, but here's a vlog in the m...

This is actually last month's vlog - I, er, forgot to post it. Good news though - another one is due very soon (and I'm about to post a new vid release).

I'm about to put the Flatline soundtrack live on Bandcamp, but before I do I figured I'd send you guys a free download link.
It's in lossless FLAC format (the same ones I provided to Bandcamp), and ...

Finally done!
Flatline is a tale of the Amiga's initial promise, its failure - and eventual redemption. It details a period in the machine's history of which even ardent fans of the Amiga may only h...

A vlog! Expect another soon-ish too - I plan on doing another in the wake of Chicken-o-meter where I'll take some viewer questions again.

I spent quite a bit of time on the pixel art for Polybius' intro, shooting for that 16-bit arcade aesthetic. It was laborious, but some of the scenes were pretty nice!
I made some 4K wallpapers for ...

Slightly delayed because I am moving house and it turns out that's a pain. Different camera (My Canon 7D) because my usual one isn't taking AC power any more.

A little different this time - I am playing a game.
