Axolotl Online Volume 1
Hello! I just started a little email newsletter over in the MelonLand Post Office and I thought I would copy it all over to here for all you RSS people. I think this may be a good idea as it keeps it all in one place while also allowing the newsletter to be a separate thing, so keep a lookout for Axolotl Online posts.
It’s gonna be a more casual thing for stuff like project updates, little things I found around the web, etc. so if that interests you, consider joining! (Or just stick around here and follow the blog.)
ALSO. If you’d like to see the newsletter in its original form rather than stripped of all the unique CSS you can check it out here!
Axolotl Online Volume 1
Hello Pal, and happy [time of year]!
I hope you’ve been well. I don’t have much to preface so why don’t we move right along?
Project Updates
First up: Project Updates!
I’ll be honest, the past few months have been PRETTY ROUGH overall, but I’m really glad to be working on stuff once again such as…
I released a new video just today following the creation of my game Fishball which you can go and watch now! This video took me a little while due to the amount of school I’ve had to do, but I’m glad to have finally finished and released it. Check it out right here!
I also hosted the 7th PlayJam, a game jam specifically for making Playdate gameswith the theme “moon,” and it’s got some pretty cool entries! Voting ends tomorrow so I can’t wait to see who wins.
Lastly for the project updates, I’ve been working on some internet webby stuff. First thing was reorganizing my website a bit, to which I still need to do a bit more (I want to add a section similar to AVQ’s T.I.E.R page, a website is never truly finished), and I started coding a website backend in Lua with Leafo’s Lapis. This is the same software that itch.io is built with, and it’s actually also developed by the same person who made itch (Leafo). If you’re curious, you can look through my code here and point out all my security vulnerabilities :P.
Webgame of the Whenever
As this mailing list gets sent out once every whenever I thought it could be fun to feature a neat webgame, whenever whenever may be.
This whenever the webgame is:
traincyberdeliahaxx2025
BIG EPILEPSY WARNING. JUST IMMEDIATELY. That much may be implicit looking at the screenshot above tho…
It’s an arcadey endless game where you fly around hacking and avoiding obstacles. I’ve actually made something kind of similar a long while ago but it used the mouse to move and was not quite as fun to look at. I am not very good at this game… but that’s ok! It’s very pretty and the really cool music adds to the weird surreal-ness of it.
If you have games I should check out for next whenever, please let me know! [email protected]
Farewell
I haven’t got too many more segments for this newsletter, but as I come up with more I’ll be sure to include them! (or if you’ve got any fun ideas :D). That’s all from me for now, and I’ll see you next whenever for whatever this is.. uhh. gbye~!
If you’d like to recieve this newsletter in your email once every whenever, feel free to register over in the post office! Also, I promise this is the last post this week, I’ve been going a little crazy on this blog stuff haha…
