]]> <![CDATA[A Wintry Mix]]> Wed, 12 Jan 2011 12:50:15 GMT Amanita Design is offering amnesty for pirates. Until August 12, the very Steampunkish game Machinarium is on sale for only $5 (instead of the usual $20) to recoup some revenue from illegal downloads. Even if you didn't pirate the game, $5 is a great deal on a great looking game that plays on 3 platforms (Win+Mac+Linux) and includes an original soundtrack.

Arrr, matey, get your legal plunder here. Screenshot below.

I just received my second booklet last week. Turnaround on it was only 3 days! I now have a nifty souvenir of a weekend Vanishing Texas River Cruise Freedom Flight where two rehabilitated Red-tailed Hawks were released back into the wild. Below is a photo of John Karger of Last Chance Forever instructing a lucky passenger on how to release a juvenile bird.

No forum or chat seemed to fit her
Not a soul took a look

A recent offering, Corner-A Art Studio is a gas to play with. It animates static graphics. The "nature" options are especially great fun. Below is a photo I took in Ireland last fall that I played with in Art Studio. Spiffy.

That steampunk PC from The Steampunk Workshop showed up in a new hidden object game from Namco Games titled Mishap: An Accidental Haunting - an excellent casual game. You can see the modeled 'puter in the screen shot below. Click to enlarge.

I'm currently trying to design a worthy font in the vein of "The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello". In the meantime, here's a free little flash game trying to aspire likewise.

]]> <![CDATA[Free Steampunk Game]]> Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:44:35 GMT Another of my later experiments with fonts (trust me, I didn't inhale). This was originally titled Inca Dinca Deco but upon arbitrary and thoroughly unresearched reassessment of it, I decided it looked more Mayan than Incan. Don't get me started on the Aztec.  That's some sort of Mesoamerican insurance company with an Imperial Woodpecker for a spokesman, right? Says the girl with an anthropology degree...

 

Anywho, presented for your entertainment - a totally unkerned and numberless display font that can't possibly amount to a hill of domesticated beans or maize or squash:

 

Thatsa Maya Font

Obviously, not to be used for texting or closed captioning - but maybe as a flotation device. Download it here.
