Capcom Deadrising 2 sites are live

A few weeks ago at Clinic/Small Japanese Soldier we launched Tape it or Die, the main promotional website for the release of Capcom’s zombie-slaughter console game, Dead Rising 2.

The site is supported by a great back story of four zombie-obsessed characters who run the blog, and are on their way to Fortune City (a fictional Vegas-like city) for a party and to attend Terror is Reality, (a Gladiators-style zombie-slaying arena game).  With Tape it or Die and the Fortune City website we also launched the official Dead Rising 2 product site. read on…

It’s 3am – why do I love this?

It’s Sunday night and I’m just waiting for the last few files to upload to my website for  the little side project I’ve been busy with.

Correction. It’s  actually Monday morning, and I really should get to bed and start the week on a good note. But I can’t. I’m enjoying myself too much…

I wish I could explain the energy I get from a night like tonight in front of my computer. I don’t care about the lack of sleep – or how the day will be tomorrow. I’m just enjoying the silence of the middle of the night while I problem solve and code and think and read.

Anyway, the upload’s done. Here’s what it is: One Thousand Songs. No great shakes, just a first attempt at some data mashup and visualisation, for the hell of it. It was an interesting process, and I hit many snags and contradictions, and I think I will do some more to improve it as I go.

Meanwhile, sleep.

Pod Camps Bay. Luxury boutique hotel website.

Pod Camps Bay

I recently helped Trevor at Sploosh, an old friend and collaborator from Cape Town days, with the development on a new Flash website he designed for Pod, a “luxury boutique hotel” in Camps Bay, Cape Town. Took a few late nights to fit around my London remoteness, our respective dad duties and my day job, but the end result is a satisfyingly smooth mood Flash experience. read on…
