I live in Shanghai, China. I make video games.

happy chinese new year!

it is the year of the cock! i’m in shanghai where outside it sounds like anti-aircraft guns are being fired… fireworks here are abundant and cheap. if it weren’t for the fact that it’s pouring down rain i’d be afraid the city might catch fire.

below is a picture from last night of the chinese new year festival in hong kong’s victoria park. the entire city shows up to walk around the massive outdoor market, purchase cock-related items, and scream nonesense at one another.

new things

whew, it’s been a while since i’ve had a chance to write an update. life has been hectic since december to say the least… my move to hong kong went as smoothly as i expect those sorts of things can. life thus far in the new city has been great. progress is being made on the production of bad day la and i’ve been writing on the oz films. there are some new projects in the works as well which i’ll be writing about soon.

as it seemed like it was time to make some changes i’ve also revamped the forum. take a look, and as always, feel free to comment.

red

wouldn’t you like to know what this is about?

-Update, October 12th 2006
Just a little FYI: “Red” as a project is something that I’ve been working on for the better part of a year. It’s envisioned as a full-blown entertainment property with game, film, and other components. Development on Red is, for the time being, on the back burner. This will likely be the 2nd project I run through the new Shanghai studio, so expect to see more on it around mid-2007.
