Hi there, everyone! This is TSwany. I'm the webdev for Birdhouse—everything you're seeing here on this website was put together by me. (...almost. This devlog is actually powered by Zonelets!) Welcome to the very first post on our Devlog, or what I like to call the Dev Diaries. This section of the site is where you can find the latest updates on the development of ABBA and the Birdhouse Engine.

So, what's new? Well, everything! As I'm writing this blogpost I'm still working on the ABBA website. HTML is a simple but painstaking art, every box of text and images is its own element; don't even get me started on JavaScript. Positioning everything just right has to be the hardest bit of all. If you're viewing this site on a mobile device, it probably looks like shit. And I don't really want to format our site for mobile since we're not even developing games for mobile devices, but I'm sure I'll force myself to accomodate the mobile web anyway. sigh

Birdhouse Engine is still in development. Rony's working on sprites and music, we've hired some new concept artists, and again—I joined the team to create our official website. Not a whole lot to share at the moment, but I can give you an idea of what you'll soon find! The Dev Diaries page will be home to all the progress & development updates regarding AB: Big Adventure, as well as Birdhouse Engine and any other Birdhouse projects built on the engine. I hope you're as excited as I am!
