I’ve been honoured with being interviewed by eHub about fileNice. Check it out here, and check out the other interviews here.
In other news, Preloaded made it into the NMA most respected list for the fourth year in a row, this year reaching the dizzy heights of 5th. Yep, we’re the fifth most respected interactive agency in the UK. Go us!
Oh, and might as well throw this one in… Google Reader, a Google RSS reader.

Last year our work for Spooks won pretty much everything going. This year it seems incapable of winning anything despite being twice the size and twice as good. The latest award we didn’t win was at FlashForward. Coming up, expect to see it not win a Webby, the first nomination Preloaded have had in there. Also expect to see it not win an NMA effectiveness award despite it being the second most registered for section on the BBC after CelebDAC and therefore the most registered for that doesn’t have it’s own TV show dedicated to the website. And it reached that position in the space of a few months. I’d call that effective.
There is a People’s Voice award at the Webbys though where YOU get to vote. So go on, help poor Spooks win something this year.

We won nothing! This is quite an unusual feeling for us. Oh well, there’s more coming up. We’ve got some nominations at Flash in the Can and hopefully we’ll get a few for Flash Forward too.
So what did we lose out on the Bafta to I hear you ask? Well, it was a Flash port of a 25 year old BBC Micro text adventure game. I’ll say no more.
Oh, and also you can catch us speaking at OFFF in Barcelona in May. I’ll let you know what about soon.

Firstly some slightly late news, we’ve been nominated for an Interactive Bafta for Spooks 3. The ceremony takes place some time in March I think.
Also on the awards front, Preloaded has picked up no less than 3 nominations for SXSW. Viral game SinkYaDrink in the Amusement category, the promo we made for Evil Nine’s release Crooked is in the Music category and of course, Spooks 3 is there, this time in Technical Achievement. Hooray for us. Winners of SXSW are announced at the ceremony on March 13th.

Long time no post. Well, it’s because I’ve been busy.
We’ve completed the new Spooks games for the BBC – note you can still play all of last years games inside the swanky new interface. You can also get some inside info by checking out the features on the project in both Digit magazine and Computer Arts magazine.
The Get Writing project, also for the Beeb, picked up an award from the Royal Television Society who described it as “one of the most inspiring & well planned educational campaigns for many years”. Which was nice.
