Well I have also resurrected my youtube channel where I now make a short clip each week that shows all the games I posted that week, occasionaly a playthrough of a game, and of course footage of my games when I have a new game coming, so if you use youtube please subscribe to my channel here.
And then some other news: I'm in the final stages of completing a new game! Oh yes, something yellow and here is proof I'm almost done! So more about that soon, cheers!
