Anyone remember JBanes?

[CaptainJester]

He was talking some time ago about making a Java game console for the casual gamer. Well I found what turned his interest away from that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiiCade

WiiCade is currently testing out a Multiplayer system specifically tailored to Flash games and the Nintendo Wii. It is being developed in Java, Javascript, and Flash, by Jerason Banes, the creator of the WiiCade API. Its homepage is located at the WiiCade Labs website. The beta software that is downloadable from their website includes a server, APIs for ActionScript and JavaScript, and examples.

Don’t feel bad. I always start working on cool stuff, but I never get anything done.

The only projects I’ve completed are a freeware RPG (which isn’t particularly good), a Breakout clone, and a puzzle game. I started on a platformer, but then my business partner wanted to work on my other RPG idea instead. I just wish that he hadn’t told me he wanted to do the platformer first; that would have saved me some time.
