Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

(Taps mic) Testing. I've set up a Luma event for a special Alien-s chat on October 14. I'll be talking Alien games development of the 1990s and now(ish) with two special guests. Please check it out. (Ticket covers a cocktail for you, PA hire and staff wages, that's it.) luma.com/p4pjgibd

Flyer for an event at Loading Bar, Brighton on Oct 14 2026. I will be speaking with Steve Collett who worked on Alien 3 and Howard Rayner who worked on Alien: Isolation, about those very different experiences. Tickets are on sale now and the price basically covers costs and your first drink. Please come?

Since I'm posting about the Alien book... Brighton (gaming/dev) folks: If I was to arrange a talk where I spoke with devs who worked on old (90s) Alien projects and modern (HD era) Alien projects, about those experiences, the differences, license holder involvement, etc... would you be into it?

We used this trick on a few PS2 pitches back in the day, but instead of mirrors used it for puddle reflections. We then duplicated and flipped the character meshes so enemies and the player appeared in them. Worked ok for a demo but too expensive and not 100% convincing for full release.
