Hey,
I'm mid re-designing this place and looking to make it my new home for all things online about me :))
So, where have I been? Well it's been a year of considering where to go in life, and I've found my new adventure, and begun to set sail in that path.
Besides the long life talk which I shall keep short, here's whats coming:
1. A long term goal of creating Rom-Hacks for The Urbz: Sims In The City for the GBA version.
I love this game so much, and want to be a part of keeping it alive, and bringing new content to it, as well as new features. I've found a small discord server which seems to be a good hotspot for this.
The engineering is a nightmare though, lots of random digging in ghidra and looking at memory addresses. I once spent hours figuring out a couple of lines adding and subtracting simoleons!
It's tough, but a long burn. Until I can get some proper speed on it, the deadline is way far into the future for any result.
2. Porting both STFB and OB off of Roblox, and integrating directly to here!
This is a big one, and what's mainly been going on. I reckon that I could just shove the WebGL build of the game onto this website and use Photon or something similar to connect the backend in a P2P setup, or perhaps a centalised server somewhere around the world.
The progress on this is amazing. A little bit of Claude code has been accelerating some tons of boring tasks, but a set of foundational Roblox scripts hold the main methods to make calling the function as similar to the original scripts as possible. Improving the efficiency would be nice, but going for as much as a 1:1 would be best for now; even if it means replicating the problems.
So, thats it! This place is gonna get a lot more casual, now that I don't need to try impress a professional industry anymore: its all me baby.
Well, I'm gonna get back to finishing off designing, and get a domain bought out soon.
Catch you later!! :P
