This week, we are interviewing Louis Durrant about his game The Garden Path. Hi, I'm Louis Durrant, and I make games under ' carrotcake '. I'm hoping to release the game this autumn or winter, but I'm not rushing myself. It will be a PC game at heart, but it is built from the ground up with a controller in mind.

Sample ASCII art from among the 100 new items. Good ideas do come spontaneously, albeit inspired by random discussions among players, reactions to various situations in game, even playing other games and consuming various non-game media.

Designing the game world's creatures. I realised this for myself when trying to make a character for my game and the traditional way of setting up a skeleton (the sketches in the white box of the image) just gave me over and over again similar results. Sounds a bit weird, but I think everyone did this as a kid.

Singletons are very useful because they can transfer game data from scene to scene without the need to save and load data in the background. There’s also a debate amongst game programmers should you be using the singleton pattern at all because if your game gets too large then it will be hard to manage and so on.
