I no longer use this website for blogging. Instead, I have decided to move house over to blogger. Click here for the new blog! I've kept all my old entries here for archival purposes, but I am posting all my new stuff at the ... http://www.davelgil.com/wordpress/?p=278 Did that get your attention? Well, as dubious as the subject heading might be, it is actually relevant. Last weekend I was walking past St. Mark's Church, when I came across an innocent looking glass cube in the middle of the square: There was a largish crowd gathered around the cube, ... http://www.davelgil.com/wordpress/?p=265 So, I work in an office now. When I first started this game development gig, I loved not having an office. I was free of the standard 9 to 5 drudgery that plagued most of mankind. I had total flexibility. I could work when I wanted. And if ... http://www.davelgil.com/wordpress/?p=260 It's back! Again! With a fancy new theme! So, wow. Lots has been happening. Emerald City Confidential has been released. I've got three games in-the-works. Life's never been busier. You'd think there'd be a lot to blog about, but the blogging software decided to start ... http://www.davelgil.com/wordpress/?p=252 So I'm in my hotel room, finalizing dialog for the recording session tomorrow, while watching the election returns on the room TV.

My hotel is located in Union Square, a pretty populated area of San Francisco. ... http://www.davelgil.com/wordpress/?p=249 So. Finally! After ten months of working in secrecy, the infamous PlayFirst game - a noirish take on the Oz universe called Emerald City Confidential - has been announced! After much fanfare, hype, and being deliberately enigmatic you'd think I'd dedicate several hours to updating my website with ... http://www.davelgil.com/wordpress/?p=248 Greetings from San Francisco. I arrived here Tuesday night beleagured and jetlagged but otherwise none the worse for wear. The nice folks at PlayFirst hooked me up with a room at the Westin St. Francis, in Union Square. Interestingly enough, it's a block away from the hotel ... http://www.davelgil.com/wordpress/?p=247 Hallo everyone! Long time no see. Yeesh it's dusty around here. It's been awhile. So, what's been going on and why have I been slacking on this blog? Well, mostly because my life has been taken over by game development, and I usually talk about that over ... http://www.davelgil.com/wordpress/?p=245 As I've mentioned previously, I spend most of my work time with my laptop in various Starbucks around my neighborhood. A few months ago, I wandered up to the one closest to me only to find it locked with its windows soaped up and a "BUSINESS SPACE FOR SALE" ... http://www.davelgil.com/wordpress/?p=243 So, FINALLY!! Several months ago, this website was infected by malware. In a nutshell, it's something used by spammers to put ads and other assorted nasty things in the comments area of this website.
