A Gamers Manifesto

A Gamers Manifesto – [via]

A rather opinionated view of the state of video games today. There’s a fair amount of truth in there though!

My Next Game

Thumbnail : My Next Game

I have been working on my next game for a while now. It’s going to be an updated version of Bubble Bomb. This may seem like a strange choice since Bubble Bomb is essentially ‘Yet Another Colour Matching Game’ (YACMG?). The reasoning was very simple though – it’s the best selling game on Binary Sun!
