This week I answer questions on the hot topic of Diablo 3 and always-on internet connections being required for singlepayer games! hint: A bad idea.

I also answer a really great question about which platform to aim for as an indie, and which Nintendo luminary I’d marry. And more!

I answer questions about kidnap, being indie, favourite Disney characters and why I’ve chosen a Breakout style of game to make next. Also: chest hair!

This week’s is a cracker. Lots to talk about – mermen, achievement systems, and of course the whole ‘EA STOLE INDIE’ thing.

Take a peek!

Hey you, nice to see you here again.

I’ve got a nice little video here for you, that shows the latest version of Smash the Block on iPhone – I talk a little bit about the new stuff that’s gone in over the last week or so. My favourite thing is the bounce on the “3… 2… 1…” countdown. But that’s because I’m a weird Designer.

Check it out!

Yesterday evening I did a half hour talk at Gamecity Nights in Nottingham – it was really nice of them to ask me over (as well as the mega talented Mike Bithell) and I really enjoyed myself.

If you’ve been, you need to go. It’s once a month, and the atmosphere is an envigorating mix of silliness, passion and geekery of the highest order. It really is unique and just fabulous to be a part of. Laughs, beers, food and interesting people showing interesting games.

Mike totally blew me out of the water with his unveiling of the new Thomas Was Alone trailer - and the bombshell of news that he got Danny Wallace to narrate it! So jealous.

I met a good few people looking to start out as indies, and hopefully my rambling talke might have helped them make some good decisions. There’ll be a video of the whole thing at some point, and I’ll be sure to post it on here – but for now, make do with this week’s Milky Q&A!

I’m off to Nottingham today, to speak at Gamecity Nights this very evening!

If you’re nearby, do come along for a bit of a giggle

There’ll be a few fun things do to, not the least of which is listen to me talking for half an hour about how I got where I am today. Should be fun, seeing as I’m not sure where ‘here’ is.

Anyway, there’s a distinct possibility of other nice things too. And Mike Bithell, whose new trailer for Thomas Was Alone is going to make me look like a total amateur.

It’s that good.

But I’ll have the new build of Smash The Block with me, so nerr!

Still can’t believe we’re in double figures!

In this video, I go completely blank on the names of the Avengers, and answer questions about giant space squid, amongst other things.

Seriously this diary just keeps on going – and it always will, as long as you lovely lot keep sending questions my way!

This one has a sneak peek at my super secret game. The one only me and my coder chum have seen working. Excited? You should be!

Really can’t believe I’ve already done ten of these. Time flies!

I’ve done a little video for you lovely bunch of people, covering a few elements of the greatest game not-yet-released on iOS – Smash The Block!

Tell all your friends!
