Interesting game. I heard of it ages ago, and it was only run by the sole programmer. I think it was only ASCII at that point, but the amount of coding behind it just seemed insane.

(I didn't realize you could have convos in comments mb) Yarr, it didn't get an official tileset of graphics until very recently. According to the two developers tho, keeping it ASCII made it very easy to add new features quickly. I can't imagine how quick having to account for art is making the development process go now, but that guy seems like an absolute wiz

I keep toying around with my micro article section. For the big ones, I just duplicate the .html file and edit. Sure, they won't share the same layout if I ever did a re-design, but I'm okay with leaving timecapsules if that ever happens. I do create a JS array that's shared, which provides titles/dates/ID/description, and I can reference that from anywhere.

But the small ones where I want to just update quickly: I create a ##.txt for the write-up, and ##.jpg for the thumbnail, and then call them via AJAX on one page based on a similar JS array that has the IDs for each. In theory, it's less work, but I still feel like it's a chore to create a new one. Half the time, I want to just open up the .html file and append a new article before the last.
