The B Blog

Well, the B Network has been a mess over the past few months.  Updates have vanished, and we just about disappeared.  The source of the mess: I, A.B.B. went on an unannounced hiatus.  Sam Bulzon was left in charge of the B Network, and during that time, Alex Jones worked on BGC and other various site things.  Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.  But now, it’s time for things to get back to normal.  There’s plenty of news already.  First, Tortie Games and B Productions have merged into a new entity called Tortoise Media, which will be headed by returning B Staff member Sam Albertson.  Jordan Youls and Ricau Johnson have stepped down from their posts at B Productions and Tortie Games and taken part-time roles in the B Network as a result of this.  In other news, B Arcade has announced that they will now support GameJolt games and they will soon be adding GameJolt games to the website.  This comes shortly after Sam Bulzon’s unannounced takeover of the site from Alex Jones.  Sam will now be managing day-to-day operations of B Arcade.  Finally, BGC is almost done!  It’s been a huge work in progress, and it’s evolved many times.  More news on BGC will come very soon!

To close this post, I’d like to mention that a lot of changes have come to YYG.  Some are good, but they have taken a few things in the wrong direction.  But to say that we haven’t made mistakes as well would be an outright lie.  In 2011, big changes will come to the B Network.  This year, we’ve started on a good note, and we want to continue that way.  In February and beyond, we will continue to be a premier Game Maker website, but we’ll also look at things from a different angle.  My experience in these past few months with Java has been quite interesting.  I hope that I can return to the B Network with some new ideas for expanding our audience.  Already, we’re opening up B Arcade to other languages.  Who says BGC won’t be next?
