My latest article for GameSetWatch has just gone up. This is a some what tongue in cheek examination of the characteristics of amateur games, and why I think they're different from indie games. It also seems to have provoked a mixed reaction. You can read it here.

The Amateur: Angband & The Game Development Arms Race
My latest column for GameSetWatch has just been put online. It's a little more 'Angbandy' than I would normally write for them. Have a read and let me know what you think.
In related news, it looks like Thomas Biskup, the author of ADOM, may be releasing his next roguelike in 2008. Because we need more competition.

In all the excitement
I forgot to mention my 20 Underused Game Mechanics article got syndicated to GameSetWatch. Also, I just deleted my first piece of comment spam. Happy days.
