Evening screening with @bafta.org for Frankenstein with the incredible @realgdt.bsky.social doing a Q&A after. Worked on a Frankenstein game based on Branagh’s film back in the early 90’s, so excited to see this vision from one of the greats.

Sad news today from Japan hearing Tomonobu Itakagi has passed away. Itakagi-san was a genuine character in the industry, creating some titles that will live forever. I spent a week with him in Shanghai when we were scouting outsourcing for Devil's Third. Wild and crazy guy. RIP

Oasis Mania in full flow . . . 30 years ago I was working for Philips Media Games. We signed this game and slapped the CL license on it as Philips had it being sponsors. We put Roll with It on the promo vid and had a party that Noel attended briefly. Saw him on a plane. He didn't recall.
