I write about videogames, design and technology. I am author of books including Minecraft Blockopedia, Making Videogames, and Home Computers, and I also work for Mojang, where I creatively manage Minecraft’s official publishing programme. A former editor of Edge magazine, I contribute to sites including Rock Paper Shotgun and PC Gamer, and I’m a member of the podcast The Crate & Crowbar.

I’ve written a new book. It’s called Making Videogames and it’s about the art and the tech behind 12 of the best-looking games of today. From Half-Life: Alyx to Return of the Obra Dinn; Control to Thumper, I talked with their lead developers to tell the stories behind their visual design.
This is Roddy. He’s our dog. He was born on Tuesday, June 15, 2021 in Hitchin, and now he lives with us. He’s a working retriever, which means his fur is a little darker than a regular golden retriever and it won’t grow to be quite as thick and long. He’ll also have a lighter build. His mother is Maple, who is owned by our very dear friends, David and Jess, and is the best-natured dog you’ll ever meet.
