So yesterday saw the release of the Spore Creature Creator, a preview of the highly anticipated game that comes out this fall, and I had to give it a test drive. For those who haven’t been following the game, Spore is basically a life simulator that goes from the cellular to the interplanetary level. […]

The Gobblins Have Been Quiet of Late…

March 30th, 2008 · 8 Comments

Skub’s Tale — The Joy of Serials

March 14th, 2008 · 13 Comments

By the time I’d finished the script for the first volume of Return to Labyrinth, some of the characters had fleshed out backstories and multi-volume arcs, while other characters were, admittedly, sketchy.

It’s not Exactly an Animated Return to Labyrinth…

February 26th, 2008 · 13 Comments

On Writing Jareth

February 15th, 2008 · 75 Comments

I mentioned in a recent comment that I was working on a “Jareth Chapter.” Well, on Wednesday I finished that chapter (phew!) but it still has to go through approvals (*fingers crossed*). I’m not going to comment on the specifics of that chapter because 1) until it wouldn’t be prudent until it’s been approved, and […]
