18 Wii homebrew updates

May 20, 2013

I’ve updated a bunch of my homebrew programs. There have been no actual gameplay changes, but like the last couple things I released for Wii (Wii Chatter v0.3 and They Do Not Die 2 v0.9) they have a newer home menu and have all been compiled with more up to date libraries so a ton of bugs have been corrected (newer wiimotes for example are now compatible).

CubicleShooter v0.5 for Wii
Cherophobe v1.3 for Wii
CylinderDodge v1.2 for Wii

So click that network button in the bottom right corner of the home menu and go discuss and vote on some junk. The actual site (the version you get when you visit it with a regular web browser) has gotten a few small updates tonight too.

32 included and 22 excluded adding up to a total of 55 Wii homebrew projects. I have a tendency to start random things and then quickly abandon them when I lose interest. But I’m going to try and stick to these 55 projects.


15 Wii homebrew updates

November 2, 2012

Wii Chatter’s keyboard defaults to lowercase and has a caps lock button. Avoidance and Hero City 2 (the nightmare mode) both have added leaderboards that work just like Cherophobe’s does. Winter’s End is a bit more efficient (not that it makes any difference).

All of them have a new home menu. I rewrote a lot of it and added and changed a lot in the process.

The network browser thing has a built in on screen keyboard (just like the one in Wii Chatter). So now you can use it to post things on people’s user pages and in the future you will be able to send private messages and even register an account without needing to actually visit the site.

There is also a little news window next to the main home menu. So you will be able to find out if you are using an outdated version or if something cool has happened without needing to go to the network section of the home menu.

The new sprite sheet / texture it uses is half the size it was previously (which was already smaller than it was not too long ago) so that’s good for technical reasons. The buttons and things are designed in a way that allows me to put them closer together and thus fit more on screen. I’ve even got it setup so I can use different colors of text. I’m not crazy about the way it all actually looks though. I’ll probably change the color pallet later and maybe make it customizable.

Avoidance v1.3
Cherophobe v1.2
GoodbyeWorld v1.3
GravityGlide v1.4
HeroCity2 v1.4
MazeGenerator v1.5
PineappleApocalypseRPG v1.3
RevoltOfTheBinaryCouriers v1.3
SketchFight v0.4
ThreePointO v1.3
UFORacer v3.5
WeAreNowhere v0.4
WiiChatter v0.2
WiiExhibit v0.4
WintersEnd v1.2


Cherophobe v1.1 – Wii

October 23, 2012

Here is an updated version of everyone favorite smiley faced FPS.

This version adds an online scoreboard. Your score is automatically uploaded to PlatonicRobot.com when you die and if there is an account with your Wii number then the score gets added to the board.

To be clear: Your score is only added to the scoreboard if you have a PlatonicRobot.com account that is associated with your Wii’s friend code.

The scoreboard itself isn’t really built directly into the game but you can view peoples high scores by going to the network section of the game’s home menu. This means that you can check peoples scores even when you are playing other homebrew games (assuming that they were made by me and released in the last few months).

I also fixed a simple bug that caused intangible enemies and probably other problems. I don’t know how it went unnoticed for so long. Maybe it was only introduced when I did the PS3 port…

My current high score is 380.
