More of the same in this video from Wired on their new emag design

There's an excellent discussion ongoing about The Right To Dream started by Simon Carrier (whose game On Mighty Thews is in development).

It's the sort of thread that is just good to sit back and read (lest there are too many cooks spoiling the broth!). I'm pretty much nodding along to Eero, Lance and Frank in my understanding of it.

The UK's national archives have put some no known copyright stuff on Flickr.

Some pretty neat early 20th century stuff that would make Cthulhu/Roach/Hot War props, I liked the Cricket in the Blitz

Continuing the photographic theme, I'd heartily recommend checking out the photography of Edward Burtynsky (and the excellent documentary Manufactured Landscapes.

Burtynsky's photographs of shipbreaking in Chittagong inspired the descriptions of rusting Soviet landing ships on the coast of Southern England in Hot War.

Cheers

Oh, and we've got a new article up on the site. A rather stimulating piece looking at expected sales figures for your first small press game. All backed up with concrete facts and figures.

Cheers
