Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition

May 11, 2012

I had a small hand in this, mostly leaderboard and achievement stuff. It’s reviewing pretty well (link) and has become the fastest selling title on XBLA (link).

Scottish BAFTA Nomination

October 21, 2011

Me Monstar: Hear Me Roar! has been nominated for a Scottish BAFTA: link.

Incredibly chuffed by this and very proud to be part of the team that’s been nominated. We’re up against some stiff competition to win it (iBomber Defense from Cobra and Quarrel from Denki are both great games) but even if we miss out it’s amazing to be put forward for it.

Too bad I’ll be in Honk Kong at the time of the ceremony. Then again, that’s kinda balanced out by the fact I’ll be in Hong Kong…

HTPC

July 28, 2011

I decided to build myself a HTPC to go beside my TV in the living room. Partly because I like watching movies, partly because I’ve been wanting a mini-ITX system for years.

The specs are:

Intel Core i3-2100 CPU
Corsair XMS3 Classic 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
Zotac H67ITX-C-E H67 Motherboard
Antec ISK300-150 Case
Samsung 250GB 2.5″ HDD
Samsung Slimline DVD-RW Drive

It’s not rocket ship fast, but it’s no slouch. Really impressed with the build quality of the Antec case, it feels really well put together.

New Job

June 1, 2011

So as of today I’m a games programmer at 4J Studios in Dundee. I think I’m going to enjoy it, everyone in the office seems really nice and friendly and the projects are interesting (and I get to learn a new platform, which I always enjoy).

The only downside? Three new keys on my keyring brings my leg stabbing total up to eight.
