The upcoming Nintendo DSi Browser RPG is both my oldest and newest project related to the website. The Mystical Journey started in development on a Commodore 128 in 1995 but quickly moved to MS-DOS, where it was released as an extended demo a few years later with a play style similar to the classic Final Fantasy games. It had smooth-scrolling tile-based levels with NPCs and photographs for backgrounds in fight scenes. In all, the demo contained 13 levels, 5 battle backgrounds, 7 enemies, numerous NPCs, and MIDI music for each level. Characters could fight and cast magic in battle, and pausing the game would bring up a configuration screen.
The Nintendo DSi Browser version will build upon the old extended demo and be made into a full game. Rather than using a tile-based engine, levels will be comprised of giant PNG images of the tilemap for faster scrolling on the browser. The will allow more variety in level graphics since tiles can be blended more easily. The battle engine will be ported in a very similar manner, with all visual effects for magics intact, like waving and rippling. Levels will be released as episodic content so that the storyline can adapt and expand to player requests.
By its nature, TMJ will be single-player, although a battle arena will allow players to fight each other online. The first component of the game to be released will be the battle arena.
A teaser and scroll-test are available as

I've just finished placing Wii versions of DSiPaint and the DSi Chatrooms at
http://wiioperasdk.com. All the apps at
http://dsoperasdk.com will eventually be ported over to the Wii. Then I will begin working on new apps for both websites.

Over the past week, I've released a new paint program for the Nintendo DSi Browser at
http://dsoperasdk.com call DSiPaint.
The software is in its beta form now and allows members of HB Online / Twiiter to paint and save images. Features coming soon include different brush sizes and titling the images.
Images are saved to a database as 80x80x9bit to be retrieved for viewing in the DSiPaint Art Gallery.
The DSiPaint Art Gallery allows anyone to browse through thumbnails of artwork and click on the images to view them full-size with the artist's member name displayed.
Coming soon to the DSiPaint Art Gallery will be the ability to vote on favorites and search by member.
