One of the things I’m currently doing for my aforementioned game project Theomachia is looking for a couple of artists and perhaps a musician. I’ll be writing more later about the details of the game itself, at this point it’s sufficient to say that art is needed, and that art needs art direction. For now

OK, time to finally continue my story of this jarkkovuori-project I’m involved with. As I told you last time, I met Jarkko at Ropecon and we agreed to keep in touch; I sent him some old conceptual work I’d done for computer games, and he told me about the kind of game he’d want to

Ropecon is also where designers like to publish and promote their new games, which I was busy doing as

I’m nocturnal, but this is ridiculous. After this I’ll leave well enough alone and go get some sleep. Instead of doing that sensibly an hour ago, I ended up making a list of links for the “blogroll” as it’s called. My list is rather restrained right now, not exactly the “sites that you visit often”

OK, I come to the wonderful, huge world of blogging with little in the way of experience. I don’t read many blogs (I think I listed the majority of them in my first post, actually) and I’ve never had a blog myself. I don’t even know if my temperament suits blogging, now that I think

Why would a sensible man get himself a blog? The influences that led this particular unique snowflake to the same solution adopted by quite a bit over 50 million others can be triangulated thusly:
