Unlockables in One Man and his Dinosaur...
Right, it’s been a little while since One Man And His Dinosaur went live, so let’s see…who’s found all the unlockables? The emergency helicopter sheep drop? The ingame laugh track? The whole new level which is Tiger Electronics world? Anyone? If not, here’s how…

Game Jams and all that
Wotcha folks,
Well, some interesting things have been happening to us of late - we’re in the middle of working on a longform 3 month project for ‘We’re-probably-not-allowed-to-say-but-it’s-exciting-yeah’. Hopefully more (well, anything) on that soon.
However, we took a break from the 13th-17th of June to do the 2011 Portsmouth University Game Jam - 35 and a 1/2...

Once Upon A Time, We Did An Audio Missive
In the light of Nick and Jon taking part in a Knightfall-related interview on the fine Tech-Gaming podcast, it stood to reason that there was no point at all in exhuming the shambling corpse of the roundtable podcast we did back in October 2008, discussing games that had a big effect on the way we make them nowadays. But we did it, anyway.
The recording quality is awful, and so is the...

JayisGames Nominations and all that
Evenin’ all,
We are bloody thrilled to have no less than three games nominated in the JayisGames awards for 2009!
Time4Cat and Super Sloth Bomber are up for best arcade game, and Knightfall 2 is up for best puzzle game - all are in the Best Of Casual Gameplay 2009 category.
Voting has closed now, so we’ll just have to see what happens…fingers crossed, eh?
Perilous Pursuits
See the lengths we go to when sourcing for the ingame sound effects…
And now to the minor disaster. See those satsumas? Dangerous buggers, they are. The following is what happens when you don’t prepare the foley area properly.
The Place

The Result
Idiot. Maybe I’ll one day post the audio of my reaction.
Cheers,

Up 'n' Running
Hi all,
Welcome to the shiny new Megadev site! The old one had been looking a bit moth-eaten for a while, so we put our heads together and came up with a fresh look.
The ‘Games’ and ‘About’ sections remain, so you can still play our back catalogue, grab bits of media for hosting purposes, and find out precisely how nerdy we really are. Lovely.
Also, in the top right is...
