Forums are online!
 June 18th 2023

Yeah, that's right. Team Coral now has a platform where YOU can interact with the community without big bad tech oppressing with dumb ToS and banhammers.

So what brought this forth? Well, it's been a thing on my list to actually do for some time now, but the final kick that actually made it happen was reddit's new API changes that made a lot of subreddits shut down temporarly, and I was once again reminded that the internet NEEDS to become more decenteralized, and the only way that's happening is if I do my part and have a forum that I've been promising the last 6 months.

I want to make clear, that while this is, on the face, a forum that's intended to theme around, and log my game development, It's something I want to see culture into an community of, well, whatever really. I want to chill with you guys, have fun, maybe play more Sonic Robo Kart Blast 2 (been doing that some over in the discord!), and get the ball rolling in that manner. I'm sure it would be a super fun thing to do as well as some other things.

Other than that, I plan to get the XMPP server up and running, so that chatting can take place on *not discord*. I will refrain from divulging into why I hate the platform at this current time, but I will probably make an angry blog post about it some time in the future.

As far as game development for TideWalkers/Val's Venture; It is in fact coming along, things are not stagnating, or moving sideways, but continually forward. It's something that's taken a LOT of time to do, but I'm sure it's something you will all be happy with when it releases. I'm not putting any sort of deadline on it anymore (haha late 2023 Val's Venture), but I'm instead going to let it just grow naturally as it will.

I guess that's really it for now, see you over at the forums!
