I’m going to do a follow up article soon on how I almost killed myself with cough suppressants. Long story short, I came down with a bad cold in January but I’ve been traveling like crazy so to function, I just took a bunch of cough suppressants to control the cold. Unfortunately, that led to a pretty severe case of bronchitis which has basically taken me out for the past 3 weeks. Lots of stuff going on in the Elemental universe though. An additional year of development ef... [read more]

My latest, favorite gadget is the Wacom Cintiq which lets me, very quickly, whip up UI designs to pass on to the team for critique. Below is a screenshot of a UI mockup for something we’re working on. [read more]

War of Magic, should it be brought back?
Greetings! For those of you not familiar with our Elemental game universe here it is in brief: Elemental is a fantasy world made up of many different civilizations vying for control the world. There is a great deal of history and lore to tap into and we decided to begin making games in this world back with 2010s release of War of Magic.
