The site was dead and now it's not! Thanks, Grue.

Hey, Silencer. It looks like you CAN download it from the old site archive...

https://archive.verge-rpg.com/downloads/view/232.html

Just right-click on the Download button and Save As -- it thinks it's an "index.html", but that's actually a zip file. Rename it to aol_chronicles.zip (or whatever), and it seems to open okay.

I haven't tried to run it yet (on the wrong computer right now!) but it does unzip properly.

@bengrue yes like that

Wait, when is the long weekend? I don't get one so I can't remember which one it is.

Evil Lab, though it was a tough decision between that and Bumsville. I voted, but my favourite didn't win, so clearly democracy is fundamentally flawed. My only recourse is to be moderately churlish in an online forum.

Boooooo.

@bengrue said in Hi! What's everyone up to these days?:

That's a lot of bots visiting!

Some people are just shy, Grue.

@bengrue It'd be nice to have an RSS feed again.

Anyone else a fan?

In retrospect, while I have a certain amount of fondness for Lua and I was definitely one of the people who pushed for (and worked on) removing it from the engine... it probably would have been better to just beef up VC.

I was working for a while on a compiler to transform VC into Lua so it would still run, and I made some decent headway, but like so many other things, it fell by the wayside.

No matter what you used to build it, it's awesome that some sort of Serinor got released. Infinite congratulations!
