Ahoy gentle reader and a merry turn of the seasons to you! <\/p>\n

All is well in the James household. Eunice is peachy and Jude is doing great. I have quite a set of pics and videos I need to upload. He seems to have discovered the tantrum, but I am optimistic about my strategic response to this occasional flailing madness. <\/p>\n

Talking of HWFO<\/a>, Three Rings is also doing great. The big news is that Spiral Knights<\/a> is doing really well! Last week we launched on Steam<\/a> and, whilst I am not presently able to take my usual liberties with the numbers, I can point out that we seem to have been in the top ten games by concurrent players on Steam<\/a> (Steam admirably publishes these numbers, Spiral has been around ~6-12k) more or less ever since. Exciting times!<\/p>\n

I will pen a longer post about Spiral Knights’ development someday, but for now I would like to congratulate the team on a heroic job and a wonderful game. Thanks also to SEGA and our partners.<\/p>\n

Other projects at ooo proceed apace, but I can’t say anything about those. I can thank the whole team from the bottom of my heart for their Herculean labours towards good works.<\/p>\n

I still worry about the end of the world, but Eunice and I did Neighborhood Emergency Response Team<\/a> training (often called CERT), so we’re a bit better prepared! I would recommend it.<\/p>\n

This solstice greeting brought to you by Jessie J – Price Tag ft. B.o.B.<\/a>, a cheery tune that Jude likes, which was brought to you by DJ Earworm – Party on the Floor<\/a> (another potent cocktail of pop, UK flavoured) and Jessie J – Price Tag (Rizzle Kicks vs Rural Remix)<\/a> (Rizzle<\/a> Kicks<\/a> are good!) <\/p>\n

Earlier Jude and I walked the dogs up the hill. The sun went down a little early behind the fog — rolling in over a very lovely day, just in time for summer. I regaled my captive audience with stories of sorcerers who made the day last forever, and the heroes that battled them.<\/p>\n

Wishing you splendid summers, – Daniel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
