A Brief Years Overview

'Twas two nights before Christmas, so I thought it was time,
To have a year in review, along with a rhyme
The changes made to the games, software and site
But only a few, so not to keep you all night.
Since it's where you are now, lets begin with this webpage,
The color scheme has changed, and no ads do assuage
Blocked users are hid, Webclients supported
And a leadership change, Tom to Lee, severs ported.

Moving to the software, Big changes were made
With weekly dev logs to document the upgrades:
Mouse wheel support, error handling, DSification,
Planes, appearances and color matrix creation

If that wasn't enough, five-ten is on the way
The fund-o-meter needs raised, so Lee has a pay
while JSON, HUD changes, more text control,
Ad skips, display groups, and regex join the whole.

The games would come next in a normal Within
Kumorii's Skirmish has evolved as the year has been
The fantasy game Severed World was Greenlighted.
The Game in a Day winners have been knighted.

Transcendence has shown it's darkly lit land
And Feed had some updates by popular demand
Then there's Wolf Pack Battalion, brought by a moose.
Azusa Generations has gods on the loose.

The beginning of Final Impact AC
And the game names of Yutput's creation spree,
On Origins, Bug Lords, Super Shooter Station
To Champions, GOAT, and Epoch, all free for the takin'

Soul Res. And Age of Shinobi are new to the fray
NEStalgia laid out plans for more places to play.
Wargames celebrated ten years of dropping bombs
And lets not forget the Space Station 13 sitcoms.

Ishuri's Land of Fire continues to grow.
While the lasers in Z.T.A.N.I and Lux glow.
Sigrogana Legend 2 has a large update cache.
And Kage No Odori has seen very good days.

Elora now has thousands of lines of code
And the DM standard lib' has a resting abode.
Now ready your skills and open Dream Maker
'Cause Rushnut launched a dev' contest, any takers?

And while I could say more, I can no longer write
So merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Niced and abridged, who knew how that do.
An easy to read, and done within two.
Hey BYONDers! I happened to stop in this evening and really got a kick out of this post: not just for the clever phrasing but for all that it entails. BYOND has come a really long way! Back in the day, Dan and I used to speculate about fancy projectiles and dynamic lighting and all of this fancy stuff but it seemed like overkill what with the high tech text icons! :) Needless to say, I'm very impressed. And big thanks to Higoten for these often unappreciated collections.

Naysayers be damned, BYOND is in fine shape. I hope you all are too. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
I can't rhyme,
So here I say..
I'm out of time!
Haha this is great. Well done Higoten and a merry Christmas to everyone.
Nice format!

I think there's an issue with the Sigrogana 2 image. When I click the thumbnail it shows the image from Lux, to it's left, again.

Same url.
Merry Christmas, y'all.
Merry Christmas to everyone!

beautiful
mickeymoose's game looks like it might have the best gameplay
brank's project looks like it might have 2nd best and be most polished

everything else looks extremely bland in gameplay; like theyre trying to appeal from visuals alone... not saying their visuals are good either
My time here is short, but neigh I must say,
I'm shit at rhyming, good job.
