Let’s see how well the plan worked out this year, and how it looks for next year.
All releases planned for 2024 were accomplished smoothly, including the gargantuan task of finishing the Rahi Update in one push so the Kal Saga finale could also fit in. Additionally, the EDOPro repository now massively simplifies installation, and this year’s April Fools’ joke established an alternate route to pursue if Yugioh ever becomes unviable. Quite productive.
For next year, the major milestones will be:
- April 2025: Finalized BPEV release, with all the cards checked and cleaned and all the decks in working order.
- August 2025: First look at Bionicle: Mask of Light, the 5th expansion pack! This will feature a small sample of each planned archetype.
- December 2025: “Search for the Seventh Toa”, the first regular BMOL release. It will cover the archetype that centers on the protagonists of the movie, Jaller and Takua, as well as the Kanohi Avohkii whose bearer they are seeking out.
As for the progress report on side quests:
- EDOPro repository has been implemented, done.
- mse2cdb Windows build has seen some progress, but no clue when I’ll actually get it to work. Good thing the Linux version is still doing the job perfectly.
- Dungen Duel Monsters Campaigns: Mika’s DDM presents an interesting new opportunity to do card-based storytelling, and does actually let you make campaigns with customs. Doesn’t seem too complicated either, so that might just happen if there’s a good window of time.
And that’s that. I’m feeling very excited about a lot of the things coming up, and I hope so are you.
Happy new year!
