Development, experiments, releases, and history.
The Journal is where the ongoing work gets documented: building games for old consoles, solving strange technical problems, preparing physical releases, revisiting material from the original RetroGames era, and recording the things that are easy to forget once a project finally works.
Current subjects
- PIRATES development — adapting a modern FMV project into an actual PlayStation game.
- Legacy console development — video, audio, storage, controller flow, testing, and real-hardware limitations.
- Physical releases — disc preparation, packaging, testing, and practical production workflow.
- RetroGames history — archived material from the 1990s and early 2000s.
- TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine — material connected to The Unofficial Turbo Pages and the Turbo era.
- o7ai — tools and automation that emerge from doing the work repeatedly.

New Journal entries will be added as projects move forward. The goal is not to publish filler on a schedule; it is to document work worth remembering.
