The Spielwiesn Spielothek App
As you may or may not be aware, I'm a volunteer helper at the Spielwiesn, south Germany's biggest board game convention (see The Travelling Fox Blog Book V ~ Chapter 30 ~ Assorted Augsburg Amusement).
There, I've taken up the mantle of inventorist and app developer. Now, with the help of my trusty Pukies, I've managed to get an app for browsing all the games we have in stock into the Google Play store. Feel free to check it out (it's all in German though since it's for a German convention).
And yeah, sorry for all the Apple users out there... The app is developed in iOS, so it's multi-platform. However, Apple makes it just so hard to get anything published... For starters, you can only build the app on an Apple computer, and need to use a dedicated app to upload it to the store. And on top of that, you need an Apple Developer Account, which costs 99$ each year. And given that this is a non-profit app that I'm developing for free in my spare time, I don't see why I should be paying that much money.
Especially not when there's also a freely accessible PWA-Version that another volunteer created based on my multiplatform project! That one works on everything that has a browser - even apple devices! You can check it out here!
The Crystal Seal Chronicle released on Royal Road
As announced just previously, the year of Ceal has just begun: The first chapter of the Crystal Seal Chronicle has been released on Royal Road. You can check it out here!
I plan to release at least one chapter each month. So have fun reading, and be of great cheer! =^,^=
The long-overdue website update!
After procrastinating for almost a decade, I am now finally getting around to reworking the tri-Tail, Ceal and Ecchnasi websites. I am doing this one page at a time, so please excuse me if the website is going to look just a little bit inconsistent during that time.
One of the main points I want to address with this update is making the website easier to maintain, so I won't end up not updating it for so long. I did create the old website with little knowledge of html, and pretty much relied on an authoring software (I think it was Magix Web Designer) to translate what I designed on on a GUI into working html code, and let me tell you, that code was not pretty. That was one of the main reasons why I didn't update the website this long.
By contrast, this new website is written exclusively in html from the start, with the aid of my good friend Chatty (aka ChatGPT), whom I by now think of as something akin to a digital Puky.
As a result, the new website will look a lot more streamlined. I'll probably lose some of the more fancy design elements (like the interactive world map under Ceal/World) along the way, but I'll try to preserve as much as I can.
I'm also using this opportunity to clear the news history, since most of the entries there have long since been outdated anyway, so here's to a fresh start!
Also, one little announcement: Having brought the Travelling Fox Blog to an official close last year, I am now re-dedicating myself to the Chronicles of Ceal once again. As such, the gears have already been put in motion, and you can expect great things for the Chronicles of Ceal in the not-so-distant future. Until then, stay tuned, and be of great cheer! =^,^=
