Over the weekend, I have returned to the Wii (the Wii U technically). I have so many good memories of that console. It was the first one I got with my own money at launch and it's a generation that's really near and dear to me.

Something I never understood back in the day was the backlash against motion controls. But I think I get it more now. It was largely the vitriol of gamerbros who had an unhealthy relationship with their Xbox 360 and completely identified with that whole aesthetic, wanting to shrug off Nintendo's efforts as being too kid and casual friendly.

That and the JRPG hatred back in that generation made it a somewhat miserable time to be honest. But when it came to the games, the Wii was amazing!

I am considering using BGT to create some games. I know nothing about programming and heard this is easy to use. I may use it with Perplexity. I have no interest in cross-platform development, cloud things, web-based games, etc. This is just for Windows, preferably XP and 7, 32-bit (which will naturally work on 64-bit as well). I'd also like to keep things relatively simple. At any rate, I just visited this part of the Nathan Tech website, and all of the links to developer resources no longer work, including the BGT site from the Internet Archive. Why is the main page still here if the important materials are not? I believe some programs on other parts of the site can no longer be found either, and I am referring to ones specifically by this company. Note that this is not meant to insult the developers. I'm just a bit confused.

https://www.nathantech.net/products/developer/legacy.php

Fortunately, I did find the BGT engine itself, but it would be nice to have some extras.

I should start another “Midnight Suns” run, because that was a fantastic game that is really hard to explain and was marketed all wrong. It’s one of my absolute favourite games and I had it sit in my library for so long because the trailer and cover blurb didn’t tell me a thing about what the game actually is. And, honestly, I am not sure how to correctly do this either without making it sound like a convoluted mess. It is amazing design that they made this work.

Let’s find out what New Game+ can do for me.

I've now finished some games installed via Heroic, backed up my saves, and then uninstalled the games. This might not sound like much of an accomplishment but it's something of a milestone.

I started using Linux late last year, and I've been gradually building a "workflow" for accomplishing things. Among the many other things going on in my life, this includes figuring out how I want to organize my games, especially on my new computer since it has very little storage space. At the same time I have also been undergoing a long-term effort of organizing my games, and backing up their game data and their saves in a way that makes sense and is accessible to me.
