Lots of website changes today.
jmtb02.com has been 728 pixels wide nearly since the beginning. But due to the ever-increasing width of Flash games the site has expanded to nearly 900px wide. When I first started making games everyone was making them around 550px wide (the default for Flash). But now that things keep getting wider and wider (the most recent was 800px wide!) the site needed to change with it. It also means I’ll have to type a lot more to make it seem like I’m writing more.
Games since January have (finally) been posted! Timemu, Exit Path, This is the Only Level 2, and others can be found in the Game Section. Finally got something rolling.
For the forums, I think we need to start fresh. Not a bad thing (it means we can finally not have a five-year old forum) but it’s disheartening when things break and post counts get nuked. I am currently working on a rewrite of the forum architecture so people can post stuff about… things.
And here’s a picture of Muffin, just for kicks.

In a recent poll on the website users voted for an ostrich. I’m sort of giving you that.
It’s an emu. You might not tell the difference, in which case you can call it an ostrich (it wouldn’t be offended either way). Emus are way more fun I think.
In other news:
• I switched to Verizon and got a Palm Pre Plus. It’s a nice little phone, I think it fits me pretty well.
• I can’t figure out what the hell is wrong with the forums on my site. Will investigate more though.
• I had a tooth chip out of my mouth, pretty awesome huh? On a piece of sour licorice too!
More emu updates approaching soon.

Yesterday the website went pink for April Fools. The first of April is a time-honoured tradition on this website, last year announcing the First Annual Elephant Game Conference and the previous year announcing Light Cut. It took me a while to get the butterphant drawn.
And as always, thanks for visiting! Hope you weren’t really fooled.
