After a year of work I've finally released my adventure game. It's called Maura and Ash, and it's designed for MS-DOS. You can download it or play it in the browser right now!

Doing a stream to work on my top secret DOSember project. Does it involve the SCUMM engine? Yes. Can you guess what it is by looking at the stream? Probably. Will I pretend that it's still a mystery in the face of all that? Almost certainly.

I made a shorter game (for DOS) with worse graphics (CGA) and I'm NOT KIDDING.

It's free, it's silly, and you can download it here!

(Est. 20-30 minutes for a first playthrough.)

An Australian edutainment game, which I had fond memories of growing up, was apparently dumped very recently. Can I finish it in one sitting? Maybe! Also: writing a disassembler for the SCUMM engine to help with [redacted]!

The whole point of digital preservation is capturing the humanness of its context e.g. maker, the experience and its impact. That is what future generations will care about. Once you bring AI into the mix you might as well delete it and spit in my eye.

Whatever its merits for other uses, I hope archivists can agree that generative AI is a really bad idea for archival description. If you're trying to explain the context for rare materials, you are never, in a trillion years, going to get that by pointing an algorithm at them

A big thank you to Davide Depau - who saw that Toshiba/Dynabook had a collection of laptop drivers dating back to the 1990s, and had the instinct of "I need to archive all of this right now before it rots". For that day has indeed come, and his mirror saved my bacon.

For the past year, I've been making an adventure game for DOS. It's been fun, but it's now ready to ship. Tonight we finish the few last-minute tasks and hit the big switch!

Appalling news about a historic and beloved publication, one which has run such powerful work on Palestine and our national debate under the stewardship of Esther Anatolitis and Eli McLean.

A disturbing time for our creative and literary landscape.
