Slowly but surely we work towards a public test release.

This week the debug console got finalised and now we can move onto other things :)

New Level Concept - dm_citadel94

A deathmatch arena concept by our lead 3d modeller and artist.

Once a bustling hub of trade, research and exploration, Citadel 94 now lays abandoned and derelict after the Station AI went insane, killing everyone aboard.

Now it’s a self contained indoor combat arena with all the trimmings.

A tight, claustrophobic and labyrinthine place, you never know what is around the next corner.

Corridors and hangars ...

Restructuring in Progress

Please mind the dust.

Hello All!
Thanks for bearing with me whilst I work on the restructure for this Patreon.

All old support tiers have been rolled into the "[MILES] Support" tier for general/generic support across all communities and services I help run.
Please ensure you switch to this tier if you wish to retain Discord access and Tech Support services when next month rolls around.
Old tiers have been either deleted (if they had no patrons) or unpublished i...

[Legacy] September Update

Another month, another update.
For those of you following Project X you'll be happy to hear that we should now be nearing a release with finalised sprites for Stage 4. Then the awkward task of reshuffling the development process comes into effect, but fingers crossed for a more reliable release phase after that.
Game servers and file hosting are still going strong, with a helpful cash injection from some very generous donors this month making up the slack from a dip in patrons.

[Legacy] August Update!

So, it's been a little while, what's been up with me?
A few things, really!
Kept the server up and running, it now has 3 minecraft instances on it and a factorio instance for 4 small communities.
The server is also hosting some art archives and backup data for some artists.
Project X is plodding along, we are getting ready for some big changes to the forums and a major release, hopefully sooner rather than later, but we have to wait on our sprite team becoming available again.

[Legacy] Phishing Deconstruction: Phishing for Bank Details

I got a text message from "NatWest" (it wasn't really from NatWest) alerting me that my internet banking had been locked out and I needed to go online and reactivate my account.
I decided to "Fall" for the scam, to see how this particular phish worked and threw together a video in the process.
Not my best work, but at least the content is interesting, I hope.

[Legacy] The Anatomy of a Technical Support Scam

A month or so ago I was woken by a phone call from one of my oldest clients.
A lovely 90 year old lady we shall call "R" for this case. After her husband passed away I taught her how to use a computer and the internet to stay in contact with family, send emails and write letters.
R called me in a panic, "I think I've been scammed!" she said, struggling to string two words together. After calming her down I got her to explain the gist of what had happened.
She received a phone call a ...
