You know what? I think Oquonie is complete.
For the past two months @rek and I ported a game of ours for its 10th years anniversary since iOS updates broke it beyond repair.
It has been rewritten to target a virtual machine, which should(hopefully) help us keeping it playable. In the next few days I'll release a document that explains how to write an emulator to run the game.

Finishing up the last details in the Oquonie game, specifically the save/load file format handling.
The game is designed to run on a VM, and will be distributed with a manual that describes exactly how to write an emulator to run the 700kb rom - Our hope is that if platforms change, or if someone want to run it on their own unique system, they need only port the emulator, so the game may survive bit rot.
The entire toolchain including assemblers/linters is hosted on that same virtual machine.
Hi @ivory. Welcome to the fediverse. Your Tweetbot app is popular on Twitter, so no wonder thereās plenty of interest about your forthcoming Mastodon app here.
One thing you need to take into account. Blind people belong here on Mastodon, and we will advocate strongly to preserve that sense of belonging. Many sighted people do the right thing and add alt text to their images. Many of those same people gently remind those who donāt, or decline to boost the toots of those who donāt. So it was disappointing to see that your introductory toot contained an image without Alt text. Still, we were all new here once and it can be a learning experience. Hopefully youāll be mindful of the culture and add Alt text to images in future.
To that end, please involve some blind testers as part of your alpha process. The best time to integrate #accessibility into a new project is as it is being built. Tweetbot has had accessibility challenges over the years. Please learn from those, embrace the inclusion that is part of mastodonās ethos, and donāt shut us out. Many of us want you to succeed and are willing to help.
Good luck, and thanks for reading.
Well, a few people asked about tipping or donating for my fonts so what the heck.
Maybe I'll get a coffee out of it once a month.
