After our interview with him, I thought the time was perfect to have an in-depth look at Coil, McMillen’s entry into this year’s IGF, which has earned it’s place as a finalist in the Innovation category. It was in this same category that Gish won in 2005, so it’ll be the second time should Coil [...]

You might have heard of a little game called Mount and Blade. Phill did a little piece about it here. For those of you who have not, it’s a simulation of what Pippa Funnel’s ancestors must have been like – it’s violent, it’s thinksome, and it features a fair few studs. It’s also due an [...]
