It looks like Jagex is about to have its 4th owner in 8 years: CVC Capital Partners is looking to close a $1.1 billion deal to acquire the studio behind RuneScape. 👀 They're changing hands about as much as I change my underwear.

I really hope that, if they are sold off to this new company, that Jagex can continue its growth and the development of RuneScape can continue. I may not play the game as much as I once did, but it still holds a very special place in my heart as being my first experience with an MMO. While I might not agree with the directions it has taken over the years, there's no denying the appeal of playing RuneScape even today.

Way to make me feel old, @gamejolt .

Oh who am I kidding? We're all getting old.

After several hours of trying to explain how to count to 18, I have a working prototype of a game idea I've had courtesy of Gemini CLI. 😬 Depending on how the testing phase goes, I will be rewriting this myself into a more fleshed out game soon. 🤞

Looks like Humble Bundle is running a bundle on some Blender assets and 3D models. Might be worth a look-see for gamedev and the like?
