Wow, has it really been that long since my last post? Sorry ’bout that. I was on a roll there for a while, too. But it’s all been for good, because Resonance has really been kicking lately. The whole team has gotten quite a bit done over the past month and […]
Adventure Gamers has just posted an interview they did with me a few weeks ago. Not a lot of new info in there about Resonance, but if you’re interested for some reason in who I am and what kind of games I play, if might be worth a read.

Despite being released in 2006, Linus was among the top ten games nominated for the free download category of popular casual gaming site JayIsGames‘ reader-chosen awards for the year. Of course, in the final vote it placed 9th with a paltry 2.8% of the vote… but at least it wasn’t 2%! In your […]
Blog / New Yorker-wannabe Yesterday’s Salad, has posted some quite articulate reviews of Linus and Anna.

They had previously run a nice review of Spooks, but I wasn’t expecting to see a review of Linus on the site. I […]

40% of the results are decided by player voting, so head over there and give Linus a vote. And while you’re at it, try out another one of my favorites: the brilliant Gesundheit!
Friendly Linus-player Gavin, was nice enough to point out that File Planet is currently running a spotlight feature on ten of their favorite free games. And the very last one on the second page is Linus, being mentioned as a game fit for the mentally instable game players out there…
A Free Game for The […]

Big thanks to Mr. LimpingFish from the AGS forums for the scan!
Part One: Concept
Part Two: Art Production
At long last comes the third part of our tale: Taking the Linus concept out of the art stage and making it into a playable game.
Right away, I hunkered down and got a working, playing, good-looking prototype out the door. I had the main game room with the two […]
