It’s time to start thinking about how much to charge for Gun Monkeys. I’ve always said I think I underpriced Time Gentlemen, Please! when I put it at £3 ($5). At the time, it seemed like a fair price for a non-talkie game in a dying/ dead genre. I quickly learned two things: a nicely-budgeted [...]

ANNOUNCING // GUN_MONKEYS
May 72013SIZE FIVE GAMES is excited to announce the release of its next game, GUN_MONKEYS. (the trailer really really works best at 1080 resolution and fullscreen. please do, if you can) GUN_MONKEYS uses all the buzzwords. It’s a devastatingly-indie, Procedurally–Generated, Physics-based, Online Deathmatch platform game from multi award-winning developer Size Five Games. “I needed a tiny [...]
The Next Game From Size Five Games…
Apr 162013(The Swindle’s still very much in development. I just took a crafty break)
End of Year Indie Awards 2012
Dec 152012Last night, in a crowded pub called “Dirty Dicks”, a dozen or so indie devs gathered for a festive pint, a grumble, and some impromptu awards. It was a smaller, quieter affair than last year, because I haven’t got much time on my hands at the moment. Hopefully we’ll return for a full-on shindig next [...]

Mar 142012Hello Tim Schafer! Hi! You don’t know me, we’ve never met. I saw you once at the Develop Conference in Brighton, but you wouldn’t have recognised me because I immediately ran in the opposite direction, giggling. Hello! So, now the Kickstarter’s over, I just thought it’d be nice to chip in my two cents about [...]
TEA & DEATH
Feb 42012TEA & DEATH is a talk/ discussion I did at the first Bit of Alright game conference. It was about death in games, served with a lovely cup of calming tea so that no one got too freaked out about their own mortality. I think it went really well; I’m glad it wasn’t just me [...]
Won a BAFTA, then.
Nov 282011All a bit weird, to be honest. Last night, Size Five Games was honoured with a BAFTA for our sex ed shoot-‘em-up romp Privates. If you go here and click on Learning- Secondary, you can see video footage of my bewildered, flabbergasted form stumble through an acceptance speech and interview. I don’t remember doing any [...]
