The astonishingly beautiful N64 Yoshi’s Story packaging. The game was a bit ‘odd’, and art direction a bit ‘dated’, but the no knocking of this box art. Lovely.

Sometimes as a writer it is important to really test yourself - to take risks, to break out of your comfort zone and do something radically new. With this in mind, I have written a nostalgic article about a Sega game www.theguardian.com/games/2025/o...

One of the first games I worked on (as QA) “reimagined”. A phrase that’s doing some heavy-lifting here.

handedness can be a little hard to wrap your head around - it's a very elusive concept as it's mostly perceptual/visual rather than being a property of the numbers/math itself notably though, you can use it to figure out positive rotation directions, given an arbitrary axis!

The superb #PSP was released 20 years ago today. Sadly, the game I was writing to coincide with that release, never made it (as the company was acquired by Gizmondo, but that’s another story). Just another ‘might have been’ story from the game industry vaults.
