Of course, I can’t really share them with you. Today was a great day. Besides working on…well…work, I went and did some snooping and picture-taking. It’s way too early to be talking about the next game, so it’s hard to contain my excitement over what I found in my snooping. Our designer had me try […]

Forgive me, but I nearly forgot to write a post today! Ah!! I’ve been otherwise occupied with one of my favorite projects; digging through our game archives. Why am I doing this you might ask? I’ll tell you: it’s for a rather exciting….something….coming soon. That’s all I can say. But perhaps in this weekend’s puzzle […]

Every once in awhile I like to ponder the art that is hidden in the games. Surely you have noticed a few re-occurring elements placed in several games, like the golden horse statue in Stay Tuned for Danger and Message in a Haunted Mansion.

Sometimes it helps the artists to sketch out their images before they begin on the computer. I rather enjoy seeing their hand work before it comes to life on the screen, and this blog is the perfect place to show you what I dug up. While searching for potential images to use in the Amateur […]
