This is the first in a series of posts about Grant Midwinter developing a game for Sony and this week we’ve had the pleasure of meeting legendary games creator Charles Cecil for a little input on our project. For those of you not in the know Charles Cecil is a major force in interactive entertainment and has been part of the industry for over 25 years. Mr Cecil’s hits include the soon to be re-released Broken Sword (for the iphone) and the classic Beneath Steel Sky which is available for the iphone now.

I spent some time in Berlin this year and meet up with Fabian at Urban Gallery Store just before it launched. The Urban Gallery Store No.2 is a temporary gallery / clothing store not too dissimilar to our friends at www.paper-scissor-stone.co.uk here in Leeds.

What you might not know is, Grant Midwinter are font freaks and typography plays a massive part in nearly all the work we do. We’ve been meaning to create a typeface for while and this is a side project we’d like to share with you.
This display font was inspired by a local county house. Hopefully we’ll get to work up this draft up to a full typeface, but please get in touch (leave a message or send an email ) if you’d like to collaborate on this! Type geeks unite.

After a pretty rigorous pitch at Sony HQ in Liverpool. We’ve been named as one the winners of Get In the Game 2009 – 2010! We have won funding to have our idea for a computer game turned into a prototype and pitched to Sony in March for full development.

We’ve been invited to attend Picnic 09! We’re really excited to have the opportunity to attend one of the best cross-discipline conferences in Europe.

We’ve just added a link to the work we did for Dance for Life (site design, build and branding). The site has been up and running for a few months now and is still looking great.
Thanks to Emma B for teaching us how to pop and lock. As soon as we’ve figured out how to combine it with our River Dance breakdown we’ll be one step closer to ruling the world!
