Godot Development, December 4, 2023

Most players do not care what engine a video game is built with, so I have not focused much attention in my social media posting on that aspect. However, I decided to try porting Slapdash Plank to Godot 4, and in just 2 months all the absolute requirements are in place, so the rest is basically grunt work. Images and more details on this blog post!

CarbyShop, June 10, 2023

If you are familiar with the Final Fantasy XI private server community, this may interest you. The software provided in the GitHub organization I created, CarbyShop, was originally ported from Darkstar Project and re-designed by myself specifically for Eden Server in February 2020. I always intended to open source it, but did not get around to it until now. Thus, I put some polish on it and updated the code to the current private server functionality, so that I could share it with the community. The code is no where near perfect, but perhaps others in the community will see the value in it.

Drive Rummager Updated, May 6, 2023

New version of Drive Rummager has been released, which adds a button to search within results. Also, the files are now signed with my name, so that you can have a little more assurance that after downloaded, it will be free from tampering.
