With efforts to resuscitate Neopets ramping up, monthly users have nearly tripled to 300,000 in the past six months, and the company is on track to be profitable by the end of 2024, [current Neopets Team CEO] Law said.

Also notable:

Law said that rather than cracking down on fan-created components, the company is embracing them. It launched a “Neopass” login system that allows users to access games across the Neopets system, including third-party and fan-made games.

Another classic has been given the open source treatment, with Descent 3 from Outrage Entertainment now available under the MIT license. This release was put up on GitHub by Kevin Bentley, one of the original developers.

Hi, all. So I just made a semi-impulse purchase of a Playdate console. While I'm waiting for it to arrive, I would like to hear from you guys. If you have it, what has your experience been? Is it as good as some reviews make it seem? How big of an issue is the lack of backlight? Any favourite games?

Hi everyone,

I am holding a fun little tournament locally and letting the community vote for game in each category. So far we did 3d fighter, platformer fighters and traditional 2d fighter. For the next category I’m thinking about doing wrestling style games and so far I can only think of Fire Pro Wrestling, Gang Beasts and WWE 2k. I can use some more suggestions here. The game should be playable on PS5, Xbox series or switch. I also have an Nvidia shield pro, I have never played anything on it, but I’m willing to try some emulation options if needed.

Thank you in advance!
