Yesterday I wrote 150 lines of code for FFC*. Impressed? This weekend is looking promising for me to have free time to work on it some more.

*(None of them were related to the tournament in any way.)

The server keeps crashing, which is kind of annoying. I'm aware of this and working on it. It might take me a while (couple days) to fix though.

I'm also aware I haven't updated in a while, but I'll be updating more frequently once I scrounge up some time. I have a lot of other projects I had to devote attention to, but those are winding down a bit now.

Good news everyone. Nicole and I are all set up in our new apartment and my computer is out of its cardboard/tupperware prison. The bad news however is I that have a business trip for the next week. Once I get back I'll get back to site-coding. I promise*.

In the meantime, have another poll. I trust you'll find it most satisfactory.

Here, have another poll.

Here, have a poll.

As Nicole said, I just moved to Canada for good last week. It was a stressful couple of months. Right now the computer with the source code for this site is in a dozen pieces scattered throughout tupperware containers in my wife's dad's house. This is not conducive to working on the site.

I just wanted to reassure you that I will continue to work on the site once I have time. I have many ideas I still want to implement, and yes, the tournament. Keep in mind that I have a job where I write code that people actually pay me money for, and that this money is essential to providing food and shelter, without which it is very difficult to produce FF1 website content.

In other news, I'm thinking of turning this into a fansite for the NES Legend of Zelda game. FF1 is pretty overrated anyways. Stay tuned for the big move to zeldaclassic.net.

Brian is officially fresh off the boat in Canada. He says he decided to make this site into a Dragon Warrior site.

Sorry I haven't been active here quite so much. Most of the reason for this is that I'm making my own FF-style RPG. Surprise!

You can see a very, very, very preliminary demo (video) here. Most of the art is just crap I threw together to make sure the game engine works. The whole thing is written from scratch, so it's slow going, but fun so far. Stay tuned for a playable demo probably in another month or two at this pace.

Nicole is helping with the art/music/ideas/everything but the programming. Give us both some encouragement if you like.

Those of you browsing the site at 4AM may have noticed some downtime. Not sure what happened on the server but I fixed it.

In other news, yeah the tournament is still coming. Flying back and forth between countries doesn't lend itself to working on websites. I'll try for this week.

I'll probably start the tournament this weekend or sometime early next week. Unlike previous tournaments, this is going to be an NPC-only tournament. Previous tournaments were completely dominated by the Light Warriors, which was rather predictable. Taking out Fighter and Black Mage will make things a bit more balanced. Thank Nicole for the idea.
