Well, an artist, technically. And “hiring” is probably a bit strong, too. I’m looking for a talented 2D artist to help out with some of The Swindle’s artwork. It’ll be a relaxed, work-from-home, freelance gig you can fit in around your real job. We can discuss money once I’ve fallen in love with your art [...]

Necessity
Mar 72012Hello! So, I’m preparing a thing about Indie Development, and the thing is themed around “necessity is the mother of invention”. You know how, in indie development, there’s no money, so you have to think crafty? And actually, the crafty-and-clever thing you did because there was no money wound up being a better feature than [...]
Dan and Ben DEVELOPMENT EVENT EXTRAVAGANZA
Oct 62011Ben There, Dan That! and Time Gentlemen, Please! have seen something of a resurgence recently, with loads of new players thanks to the recent Steam Sale and the BTDT: Special Edition.

Sep 192011So, how do we tend to feel about hacking minigames, everyone? I suppose generally I’m against them – the two main problems being they’re rarely genuinely fun in their own right, and that they really grate after a while. That said, it’s nice to feel that you’re in some way involved in the hack, even [...]
SIZE FIVE is hiring…
Aug 42011SIZE FIVE GAMES is looking for a programmer to take care of some of the more complicated pathfinding code in The Swindle. It’s highly important that in-game characters are capable of navigating the facilities; they need to jaunt up and down ladders or lifts and find their way to-and-from places quickly and efficiently. They need [...]
Quick BTDT Fixup
Aug 12011I’ve spent the afternoon hacking about with Ben There, Dan That! in an attempt to fix a weirdy-beardy boring Windows 7 display/ mouse issue. It only affected a small number of users, but I’d like to get it fixed all the same. I’m hoping it’s working. If your setup had issues, and you have some [...]
#southindies
Jul 262011Nothing says ‘fun’ like a bunch of nerds in a pub together, which is why we’re planning indie drinks, to pretend to talk about game development, but really we’re just hoping to get out of the house for once. There’s already another, rival (hackspit) indie meetup, but that’s up in Angel which, if you live [...]
