I put off trying Neopets again for a long time because the way people talked about it made it seem not worth trying, but I think either I got the wrong impression or the change of ownership actually had a big effect for the better.

People made it sound like the Neopets site was all broken (due to...

Back when I was working on Nova the Squirrel for NES, I thought it would be cool to add some multiplayer stuff, because back then I was hoping to make a cartridge of the game, and I wanted the cart to provide a lot of fun even if it was the only one someone had. So I put in a quick Dr.Mario clone,...

There's a really pretty park near where I live named Promenade Park that is built around showcasing Fort Wayne's rivers, and there's a space there for events as well as a restaurant, and the restaurant that has been there has shifted a few times but it's currently "TEDS Snack + Bar" which opened las...

I've been doing a bunch of work on Tilemap Town and I figured I'd make a big changelog both to show it off and also to show to myself that I've done a lot of work on it. This is all within the past month or so. This excludes stuff I've already shown off here I think?

3DS and web client:

• Ad...

I thought it would be helpful to be able to mark that there's an event currently going on in a Tilemap Town map, like how IRC channels have topics and how Discord voice channels let you set a topic for what you're currently talking about. So obviously I named it the same as what IRC calls it.

So n...

I added a feature to Tilemap Town's web client where the game can switch what graphic a tile uses based on what tiles are next to it, to make it look connected to them. I designed it in a way where if your client doesn't support the feature (like how the 3DS one is somewhat behind as far as featur...

Tilemap Town takes a short, but noticeable amount of time to load on the 3DS, which is a combination of me not implementing websocket compression yet (because wslay doesn't do it for you and it's not trivial to add, and I couldn't find examples of people doing it), and the 3DS's download speeds jus...

I had a realization awhile ago that I might actually be driven to do homebrew stuff for very different reasons and with very different motivation behind it than most, which could explain part of why I seem to approach things very differently from other people (mostly in the form of emphasizing acces...

I got a TV antenna while back, and Cyberchase (on the PBS Kids channel) is probably the most interesting thing that comes on, and I've been trying to catch it whenever it does. I like the idea of people going "into the Internet" to solve problems, and the premise is still cool to me even though th...

I've been wanting to have my SNES game deliberately do uncommon graphical stuff during levels (or at least uncommon for platformers), though for some features I have ended up realizing that they're probably uncommon because in practice it's tricky to do something worthwhile with them in this context...
