Well its again been far too long since I last updated this blog, this time doing a game where you are a cube fighting other cubes in a world made of cubes. I got out this weekend though and went for a nice walk around countryside world, its just south of Birmingham and north of London, its more commonly known as the Cotswolds. Its great as you can walk round a bit and then visit a ye olde countryside world theme pub for a pint of local cider.

While there I stumbled upon this field it was amazing, unfortunately my camera was overwhelmed and didn’t focus that well.

Just to finish this off I found these 3 amazing facts :-
1. William Shakespeare was the inventor of the pencil sharpener
2. Currently in Sheffield there is only one man called Harold
3. All words to describe things which are small are all over 12 letters long

Well they finally launched the London 2012 branding today, 440ks worth of branding and this is what they came up with ?!?

I’m not usually one to go round bashing other peoples work but this has got to be one of the worst looking designs I have ever seen. In fact I only have to look at it for 30 seconds before it makes me feel quite ill. Purple and Yellow !

Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell commented: “This is an iconic brand that sums up what London 2012 is all about – an inclusive, welcoming and diverse Games that involves the whole country. It takes our values to the world beyond our shores, acting both as an invitation and an inspiration. This is not just a marketing logo, but a symbol that will become familiar, instantly recognisable and associated with our Games in so many ways during the next five years.

What the bloody hell are these people on about, its quite clearly an abstract version of a bowl of rhubarb and custard.

Well as usual its been too long in between post, I’ve been working on several things work related and non work related but
to freshen things up here is a picture of my latest game in development ROBOPOGO, a robot pogoing game featuring crushatron 2000.

So far the 3 games released, Blobuloids, Starling Golf and The Game called bob have done 1.2 millions plays in the past 2 months, which is quite frightening. But anyway I better get back and finish another game.
