News!
Retro Gamer, publisher of some of my dubious ramblings, appears to have collapsed.

That'd be a pain, then.

Fortunately as I jumped over the side, the good ship Edge was sailing past, so I'm now in the lucky position of writing The Making of... column semi-regularly.

Oh, and don't forget Retro Survival, the Retro Gamer freelances' lifeboat. Metaphor shatteringly, I'm in there too. The definitive history of Novagen may well see the light of day after all.

News!
We've updated some pages with more hollow promises. Proper update still planned for some time this millenium. Crass commercialism has also reared its inevitable, yet lucrative, head in the form of inappropriate banner ads from Google. Why the hell is this page's ad in Chinese? Gah.

News!
We've added some new Develop! articles written by Andy to the appropriate page.
Self-referentially, we've updated the News page too.


Hello!

Do come in. Sorry about mess, the site's being revamped as we speak and there's soot and broken links all over the place.

Shall I answer a few quick questions while we're here. OK, fair enough. Who are we? Ah, well good question. We're a games company. Vague, huh. Well, yes. More detail, you say. Hmm, well were a group of people with an interest in all forms of games, and even some skills related to making them (designers, artists, programmers, writers but clearly not web-designers). We've even got some awards between us, and not just cycling proficiency either.

We don't limit ourselves to games for one format, for example we're currently working on board games, card games, handheld games and mobile phone games. We also have an interest in improving games generally, in games theory and like to write about games. Have a look in our articles section if you like. Well, when we've finished the website. We like to use the theory in the design of games, and will talk about how we've gone about a particular design in an incredibly vain and pompous fashion as though some of you out there might be interested.

We do like to keep the production part short and sweet, as some of us have day jobs working on long and complex titles, so our stuff tend to be pretty simple, and therefore (hopefully) cheap.

That's all there is to say about us for now, I suppose. If you want to get in contact with us email is the best way, so just drop us a line at,
