I thought I owed it to everybody involved to write a post updating everybody on the state of play regarding Red Forest- It’s clearly still not out- but why? This will read as a sort of post-mortem, but I’ve not let the game die. Read on. When I started Red Forest, it was a new […]
Yes, that’s right! We got Greenlit! Players want the game on Steam! Stay tuned for more news- We’ve not got much time to update this site right now because we’re busy going nuts with paperwork, getting a bigger team, and planning everything! Once we’re done, I’ll create a new post outlining the plan. […]
On January 23, 2015, an amazing thing happened. Tens of thousands of developers joined forces for 48 hours and produced a huge number of games for Global Game Jam 2015. It was easily the best weekend I’ve had in a long, long time and I recommend anybody who loves to design or develop in any […]
Today I’m going to talk a little bit about how it *is* possible to produce low cost games. Red Forest has cost less than £500 so far! Not all of the information within comes from Red Forest; A lot of this information comes from data I’ve gathered by watching those who do find success; Many […]
Unity3D is an amazing tool; It makes development a dream. It introduces coding to novices without limiting their capabilities. It removes the headaches from coding the core engine, 3D renderer, sound system and all of the components required for a good, stable, usable 3D engine by having them already there ready for you to use.

On Thursday, 30th January 2014, I decided, last-minute, to stand up and talk about my game, Red Forest. Anyone who knows me knows that I am an introvert. This is not a bad thing. I do not dislike socialising, in fact as two months worth of living alone without any entertainment in Manchester proved that […]
So, on Monday September 2nd 2013, Xspeed reached a milestone. Features that need to be present for the v1.0 release are completed: Tournament Mode: Although we intended to have several tournaments, this is not a requirement of the initial release. Instead, we will add more tournaments at a later date- the initial release will have […]
Well it has to be said, Xspeed is a pretty shoddy name. It needs to be improved! So I’m looking for ideas. Something spiffy, something punchy. It’s got to sound high-tech. It’s got to be something you’ll remember. Provide your email with your suggestions and I’ll get in touch if we use it and get […]
So, as you can ask my wife, I’ve not really been spotted in the wild over the past couple of weeks. The reason is that I’ve upped my efforts with X Speed with the intention of getting it ready for release. There’s a slightly older playable version of the game available to play online here. […]
Continued from this post: With Red Forest, I wanted a hover-racer, but I needed it to be easy to update and add extras. The amount of effort required to create each track was immense. How could I solve this problem? It quickly became obvious that although I liked the feeling of the simulated hover vehicles […]
