Rodent Interviewage!

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

A Rodent!Whoopsie - I forgot to mention that I was interviewed in the latest edition of Way Of The Rodent! I’m not entirely sure if this is a blessing or a curse, however :D

Thanks to Bob’s alarmingly leading questions, I do all sorts of things to embarrass myself in front of WOTR’s massive readership. Oh yes.

Where The Hell Has Smayds Been?! C’mon Man, Sort Your Shit Out!

Pain!Well, it’s been a rough couple of months. Loads of separate projects on, and Veck2’s been suffering because of it. The pressures of ‘drawing’ a daily webcomic, work commitments, fixing broken PCs owned by silly friends and relatives, therapy and medication issues… Ah, who am I kidding? I’ve been slacking around and partying my arse off with my better half :D

Veck2 will be released at the end of June, and the new music is completely brilliant. Oh yes!

Exciting Announcement!

Exciting!It’s official! Veck 2 will be made available for exciting download later today from thesharewareportal.com, and will retail for the excitingly low price of $19.95! Beta testers, I’ve excitingly emailed you with details on how you can send me the discounted $15 for the beta - though you’ll also have to pay the full retail price if you want to upload your exciting scores. I think that $34.95 is a fairly good price for people to pay for the privilege of doing all my bughunting for me!

Download link as soon as the details have been finalized.

Totally Unexpected

Geometry WarsBizarre Creations thinks that Veck 2’s just fine by them. My thoughts on the article that made my entire year, and as I’ve been officially dragged into the clone debate, my opinion on Mark Incitti’s rather excellent Grid Wars, and why it was pulled from the net. (more…)

Go AwayWelcome one, welcome all to my warm and toasty home on the Internet. Here you’ll find all the video games I’ve written over the years, along with news on upcoming projects. I’m using the rather marvellous WordPress for ease of blogginess, and I must say that it’s absolutely peachy so far. Incredibly simple to customize and work with for editing and whatnot. I really should have started using it years ago… Obviously there’s a bit of work to do to change the default theme enough so it no longer looks like a default theme and starts to look like my website. I’ll sort that out later, I think…

All the games here are free, and that’s the way they’ll stay. Not that there’s anything wrong with charging for software at all - hell, some of the best games in the world are shareware. Just not mine.
