As is my yearly tradition, here is a rough summary of my year: Me and Ronja went on a weekend trip to Killin, a small town in the countryside of Scotland. On the way back I got the car stuck in some snow in the mountains. Some passers-by let us use their shovel, and we were back on our way. I should be more careful in future, but I’ve since got a new set of tyres for my 18-year-old car, so maybe that’ll help. I finished off the big version 2 update for EBF5, which added a ton of new content and re-playability to the game. People could now play it for hundreds of hours if they wanted to, and the game has continued selling very well. If you haven’t revisited the game since that update came out, you totally should. Me and Ronja got invested in US politics this year, and were eagerly following the election news, including the democratic primaries and caucuses. It looked like Bernie Sanders had a chance. What an optimistic start to a nightmare of a year. Wildfires, World War 3, race

(apparently DeviantArt doesn't know how to show a gif gallery, so you're jsut gonna have to trust me and click on the thumbnails above to see the gifs) Hey guys, I’ve made some new community collectables for Epic Battle Fantasy 5 on Steam: animated avatars! You can get these using Steam points or something – I dunno, I don’t really pay attention to that stuff. There’s other item types I could add, but it all seems like a lot of work for a feature that I don’t personally care about (and Valve ain’t paying me extra for it). Anyway, they will be available soon once Valve approves them. I figured I’d share the images here so you can use them for whatever you like.

Hey guys, a lot of people ask me what I'm gonna do when Flash dies, and I'm making this post to clear up some confusion. What's happening is that official support for the Flashplayer browser plug-in has ended, and browsers will block it completely, as it will be a security risk without any further updates. All this means is that browsers will not be able to run Flash files by default. (though I'm sure there's a few browser extensions that will let you get around that) Flash is NOT dying. Adobe Animate (previously known as Flash Pro) is still a commonly used animation program, and you can still program games and apps with it. The programming features may eventually be dropped, but that has not been announced yet. The Flash file format (.swf) is also not going anywhere. These files will still run in Desktop and mobile Flashplayers, often through Adobe AIR, but there are other options. Windows is incredibly backwards compatible, and it will probably have no problem running Flash files
