Wheee! Nothing but fun and sun today… though no beach. Still, let’s settle on simplicity for the time being. So, I’m turning right to it. I had a good conversation with the designer of our Nancy Drew Adventure games, Cathy. She told me all about what’s been going on this week. -Blurb of the Week-Although […]
Today was a hefty mail day… contest entries, magazines, office goodies. Many HI workers send packages here, for convenience-sake, I suppose. It does make for some interesting times though; lots of cool books and toys show up randomly. Every now and then it feels a little like Christmas, what with all the mystyery boxes being […]
We have a few new faces in the office. Testers. Their sole job is to bend and break all the work we’ve done so far on Secrets Can Kill REMASTERED and Shadow at the Water’s Edge. It’s weird to think about. We pay them to play our games to a point of non-function… granted that’s […]
I’ve been battling the Forces of Grammar today. Normally I’m not such a stickler for rules (see: Previous blog posts) but in certain aspects of my job it helps to stay on top of proper spelling and the sort. You have no doubt seen the occasional error beaming out from the page (web, print, and […]

Did you see the new trailer? It looks a lot prettier than I remember. ^.~ I’m hoping for some gameplay footage soon. Secrets Can Kill and Stay Tuned for Danger are the only games I’ve yet to play all the way through, so as you can expect I’m pretty excited about this one. Now I […]
The office has been pretty empty with so many at the “Casual Conference.” But that doesn’t mean we haven’t found time to create some cool new stuff. While I’ve been busy, I have had time to do some snooping of my own and I’ve seen the fine trappings of Secrets Can Kill REMASTERED content being […]
So there was a very interesting point made at the conference today. A few people spoke in a panel about communities and how they shape/effect your company and the games you make. It was definitely interesting. But one thing they talked about that really resonated with us is how much work your fans will do […]
