I've continued to work on various aspects of 'Dozer in the last few days. I've needed to spend a bit of time (still) polishing up and adding bits of functionality here and there to the GUI system. That work will pay off in future and other current projects also, though. I added scroll bars to multi-line text boxes this evening. (Previously I only used them for editing tasks, so I held off adding the scroll bar.)
I'm finishing up most of the user interface business and I'll soon be starting on creating more levels for the single player mode. After that, I'll probably be ready to release the game. :)
Progress on a New Game

I've recently been working on a new game called 'Dozer. You may have played games like 'Dozer before; you have to push blocks around onto targets to finish each level.
I have a couple of screenshots from the game in the screenshots section, and I added a video of the game to the videos page. They'll give you a good idea of how the game works.
The game will feature both a single player and a multiplayer mode. I don't have the details fully worked out in regards to the multiplayer aspect of the game, but I hope to have a couple of different gameplay modes available.
Check back later for more on 'Dozer.
Site Redesign and Forum Launched

Well, it might seem a bit ... crazy to have 2 out of the 3 most recent updates introduce a site redesign, but nonetheless I decided to update the look of the site a little bit. I've parted from the dropdown menus and gone with a different structure.
Mostly, I didn't completely like the code behind the previous page. I did a decent job and did create a validating webpage (just transitional though), but the time I spent putting together the new forum (we'll get to that in a second) helped me fine-tune my CSS knowledge; thus I decided that I didn't like all of the old code anymore. :P
As usual you'll see things here and there that I haven't finished yet. I might not have finished everything I wanted to on the previous design! :P
The forum also has a couple of small issues remaining, but most of those fall under the area of content as opposed to functionality. The forum has some cool features including various themes you can use. I encourage you to check it out! =)
On the gaming front, I've been spending a little time working on another Wii game, and I still work on the platformeRPG here and there. Hopefully in the not-too-distant future I can put together a demo of that for everyone to try out!
New Game: WiiWord

I have finally released a game I've been working on for a couple of weeks now. I call it WiiWord.
You can only play this game on a Nintendo Wii right now, hence the name. :)
I'll add it to the Games menu shortly. In the meantime, <a href = '/wiiword/'>click here to play WiiWord</a>.
New Site Design; New Games!

As you have surely noticed, I have redesigned the website. It actually didn't make much sense to have the whole site devoted to Lode Runner X, seeing as I had a couple of other games and was preparing to release more.
Speaking of more games: I've finally officially released two new games: Tetratris True and Lode Runner '07! You can read more about these and download them from the 'Games' menu at the top of the page.
Along with the new design comes a fair amount of new content on the site. For starters, I added a pretty extensive 'About Me' section under the 'Content' menu. I also added a Guestbook to the site. I'll probably let it double as a poor man's forum, because currently I don't have plans to add an actual forum.
You'll probably notice minor things here or there that seem slightly unfinished; I'll be working to resolve those very soon. Until then, enjoy the games!
