Sorry I’ve been quiet, life got in the way. I enjoyed Ross’ post entitled “The Search for Joy“, it’s been roughly where my head has been, trying to find a meaning. Life can feel real hectic at the moment, where you’re trying to run to stay still. This is especially true as a business owner, as you’re batting away AI...

So I’ve been back for a few days from a trip to Ponza. Which is an island off the coast of Italy. A hidden little island off the coast of Naples, which has a three hour ferry to get there. It was a holiday where we both needed some much needed R&R, and Ponza provided it in spades. A quiet, sleepy fishing village on...

I write this on naff all sleep and I am probably going to put something on my freelance Instagram like I always do a bit later, but it was eight years and one day since I pushed live “If not now, when?“, which I shared to a few friends and socials from Frankfurt airport. The day after was the first day of being a...

So as mentioned on my Now page, I headed to Scotland about a month ago for a wedding and a cross-country road trip that sung to my soul. Taking a trip north of the border just makes me happy, and you can see why so much of the country’s culture is inspired by Caledonia. But I’m not here to wax lyrical about that, oh...

So last night I played cricket. I did my usual – hung around for a bit and scored fuck all – but it was during the biggest solar eclipse since 1999. I was fortunate in seeing the Solar Eclipse back then. We were about 20 miles away from totality at the time (on holiday in Weymouth) and seeing it go so dark was...

Today I launch a game that is probably my biggest ever – Battleteria. This project has been my game since the start of the year (with the exception of a month and a half where I worked on another project). I wanted to learn a few concepts in Pico-8. Sprite rotation, storing and retrieving levels, and highscore...

What have I been upto? I’ve been to Scotland! I had a week off to go some travelling, surrounding a wedding which was last Wednesday, so we went from Dundee (where we saw the Lemmings Statue) to Inverary. I’ve eaten well (blog post to follow on that), saw Castle Aaargh, and generally drove through some incredible...

As part of my Scottish road trip I mentioned on the Now page, I headed to Dundee as my partner had one thing she wanted to do (The V&A Museum) and I had one thing I wanted to do. To see the Lemmings Statue. The Lemmings Statue is a statue in a park close to the site of the home of DMA Design (now Rockstar North) and...

What have I been upto? Work has gotten a bit quieter since the last time I wrote. Managed to get back on top of the mountain and one of the builds had gone live, which was nice. I’ve got a few things to chase up, and sort, but with just over 24 hours before I go on holiday (more on that later), I think that I leave...

So as shared by somebody on the Amiga Addict Discord, today is the day that – if you play Championship Manager 97/98 for 30 seasons, on the 15th July 2026, you get an endgame screen, and encouragement to sign up as a play tester and a researcher for future games.1 I played Champ Man 97/98 loads growing up, and...

What have I been upto? Busy, very busy. Work has been largely full on with a couple of builds that I’ve been juggling, I’ve also attempting to be supporting partner to my partner as it’s always a tough time for her at this time of the year, with work and a few other things. I did enjoy going to the Foo Fighters two...

I was watching a reel on Instagram from Martin Lewis (for the non UK lot – a very trustworthy financial journalist, campaigner and consumer rights activist). I’ve attached it below but it’s about one of his biggest gripes – online scam advertisments. Away from his message (which I 100% support), I picked up on...
