Project Kuiper is my latest attempt to create a game. For several years now, usually in the dark winter months, I have tried to write a computer game. There was Project Herschel and The Alchemist. Both projects ended in tears, and I vowed never to try again. And yet, here I am, with Project Kuiper. Kuiper is very much a rework of the Herschel game, with a little more planning - and crucially, a new game engine.
