Dear Esther,

As usual my life is a whirlwind of projects and ideas. I have just finished working on a game, due out on PC/Mac/iPad in June, as well as fitting in some freelance work on another title. A new project starts in April based on the work of Edward Lear, as well as a proposed horror title inspired by Lovecraft. I'm off to Paris in two weeks which I'm very excited about as I have never been, then getting my new tattoo at the end of April. My new band Lutra Lutra is coming together; an evocative post-rock affair featuring a variety of musicians. I'll be drumming, messing around on piano and doing some vocals, as well as composing a lot of the music. Heavily inspired by Olafur Arnalds.

For the last couple of weeks I've been experimenting with Ashtanga Yoga. I would love to say that this is a photo of my progression:

but in truth it's a little more like this:


I leave you with an extract from Dear Esther, written by Dan Pinchbeck, and a game which I urge everybody to play.

Three cormorants seen at dusk; they did not land. This house, built of stone, built by
a long-dead shepherd. Contents: my campbed, a stove, a table, chairs. My clothes,
my books. The caves that score out the belly of this island, leaving it famished. My
limbs and belly, famished. This skin, these organs, this failing eyesight. When the
battery runs out in my torch, I will descend into the caves and follow only the
phosphorescence home.
