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.

this project probably looks familiar, but it's likely the 4th rewrite since the last time I posted here... only this time I added a ball you can kick around, so I'm probably not going to make anymore progress as I'll be stuck kicking this ball around...

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. 🤞
