Timothy Hope, desperate to impress the beautiful but disdainful Lady Misericordia, stows away on Lord Daunt's expedition to the North Pole, and finds himself caught up in an adventure of high seas, deep crevasses, slavering wolves, reindeer sleigh rides and much, much more, with only his wits and inventiveness to keep him and his friends alive.

The Mazehouse project has its origins in an interactive TV show we made for the Sci-Fi channel in 2001. It was initially intended to be an interactive drama, but the Sci-Fi channel wanted it to be mounted as more of a hoax. Ever since I've wanted to go back and tell the story we originally intended to - the results can be seen at: mazehouse.ruritania.co.uk.

two-minutes.com was an interactive murder mystery we staged during the total eclipse of 1999. It was a live online event and, as such, disappeared soon after it had run its course.

A flash game providing all the thrills of high-stakes surgery without the blood-soiled clothes and law-suits.

Essentially a mash-up of the old boardgame Operation and one of those electrical dexerity tests, the game challenges the player to 'cut round' a series of complicated organs, racing against the clock to earn a place on the high score table. At the end of the game players are rated and awarded a dynamically generated certificate to print out and keep.

A poster making application for Cbeebies, designed by Alex at Swordfish, but coded by me. Kids can select a background and images of animals to place on it - they can scale and move the animals how they like and also add their own titles. They can also submit their picture to a gallery for other children to see, email a link to their friends to come and see their picture in the gallery and also print it off, either in colour or in black and white. It's built in Flash, inevitably, with a mySQL and php back-end, passing information back and forth in xml.

We have made some updates to Jack Stalwart, including a new games section, with two original games for it (about which more later).

The games section has been built to allow more games to be added easily - the games are separate movies that load into the main site structure.

This was a pilot for an interactive soap for the BBC. The audience would have a mocked up 'desktop' and would receive video messages from the characters, each containing a segment of an episode's plot. Occassional 'instant messages' would allow the audience to interact with the characters, altering plot outcomes by making decisions.

The Pat and Pals website is home to a series of books for very early readers by Colin & Jacqui Hawkins. The main aim is ecommerce, allowing people to order and pay for the books, but it also includes games and things to do.

I built the site templates following designs by Will Richards and worked with Dragnet to develop the final site. I also built and helped develop the 'ebooks' sold on the site, of which more later.

Well, yes, FightBox.FightBox was an interactive TV show for the BBC. Players could download a PC game from the BBC website and use it to create and train their own FightBox warriors. The most successful players won a place in the televised competition.

Adam and Eve was a series of short comedy animations done for Ha Ha Bonk, a comedy portal, or 'chortal', apparently.
I added interactivity to the animations (which were scripted by someone else) so that the audience could mouse over various parts of the screen and get extra 'jokes'.
