Mode 7 Games Blog Launches Monday Night Live!

Greetings urchins.

Firstly, I haven't posted on Garage Games for a while which has been deeply remiss of me. Normally I'd come over here to wax lyrical about Determinance's sound and music, or to post stupid pictures of Ian's cats, both of which were entirely viable pursuits, I'm sure you'll agree.

I wasn't able to come out to the US again this year for a variety of reasons, including doing a talk for Nottingham's Gamecity (http://www.gamecity.org/) If there are any UK indie developers out there looking for a hub, or a good place to meet people, pester the organisers to do another Gamecity next year. UK indies were there in force, as well as indie-friendly publishers like Zoo Digital Publishing - it is a truly awesome event and a load of fun.

Anyway, that basically means that I didn't get to meet anyone on the US end of things in this particular locale, which is a massive shame, but I'm sure I'll get over there at some point in the future.

I'm here to announce that there will be more intensive and interesting blogging activity over at the Mode 7 Games Blog (http://www.mode7games.com/blog) in the near future. I'm planning a series of weekly columns entitled Monday Night Live. These will be speculative opinion pieces - hopefully want to stir up some discussion. In the past, I've written for a few games mags, including a piece in Edge, and it's nice to be able to do some more involved and thoughtful writing for the Mode 7 blog - we'd love some more subscribers so get over there if you're interested.

Determinance is progressing apace - this excites me.
