What’s extra nice is when a birthday treat comes in and everyone gets to partake in the desert. Today was a production worker’s birthday and cake was brought in to celebrate! Yum. Looks like […]

I’m excited to announce that we interviewed our Character Designer, Van! Check out today’s Dare to Play blog post. I really like his designs. I admit I was a little worried about how Nancy’s friends would turn out…because I’m a little protective of how I envision them. But now I am very happy how they […]

It’s the super busy season for a couple of us in the office (myself included) and I’ve noticed how many times I use the word “busy.” Note to self: try to avoid using that word for the remainder of the launch season for Alibi in Ashes. Will need to come up with a new vocabulary, […]

…Literally! I think this is the latest time I’ve ever posted on the Amateur Sleuth Blog! (That should tell you how busy we have been). Let’s start with the weekend puzzle. (You solved it quick!)

See here: I made a trip to this secluded corner to fetch a […]

It’s not Christmas, or a birthday (well, one of our artists had a birthday yesterday), but we received a few gifts today… OK, so maybe they aren’t really gifts according to everyone else, but I like to call them that to make it sound interesting. Our order of office snacks came in (somebody keeps eating […]
