Dear friends,
Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year. But take heart: the days will get longer, the warmth of the sun returns to us by slow yet certain roads, and no darkness lasts forever.
Silk on PS4
Although the Sony submission is slow going, we are making headway and hope to have Silk available on PS4 in early 2022. If you are a Kickstarter backer who choose the PS4 version, we'll be in touch as soon as we have keys to make sure you get your rewards.
Doctor Multiverse
Coming up in February 2022 will be my first ever video series, Doctor Multiverse: Renegade Philosopher, a four part series running on Diet Soap Media at the weekends. Blending science fiction, philosophy, and contemporary politics, these 15 minute episodes challenge us to think differently about how we live together.
Fifty
I also ought to mention that I turn 50 on January 1st. There is no hiding from it any longer: I am officially old! When I think about everything I've done in the last twenty five years, it really is quite amazing. I was literally just starting out in my career in games back in 1996, having had one year in-house at Perfect Entertainment working on the Discworld games. Three years later, I founded International Hobo Ltd - and haven't looked back since. Astounding to think that I had barely read any philosophy books at that point in my life... now I've written five philosophy books of my own. What a wild ride it's been!
Now if you'll excuse us, we have to tie up some work for our clients, and then we're shutting the ihobo doors for a few weeks. Wishing you all a happy Winter Festival of your choice, and a marvellous Gregorian New Year.
Chris and the ihobo games team.
