My friends at Metanet have posted an interview on their upcoming Xbox Live, DS, and PSP releases of N+. For those of you who haven’t played N yet, I recommend checking it out. It’s a Flash-based platformer with roots in Loderunner, with all sorts of fun physics and potential for speed runs and strange tricks.

The console/handheld versions of N+ are due just about any time now, I think, and Raigan and Mare’s comments on the differences between each of the versions (as well as the differences between those versions and the original game) provide great insight into the design and development process. I adore their work just as much as I adore them, so click on through and give them a read:

I know you’ve been clamoring for cat news, especially after that horrifying (and, admit it, titillating) post of just about a month ago. Short version: Cat’s fine. Bad bladder infection, possibly chronic, and it’s being treated now.

But what’s really at issue here? I haven’t written a damned thing on this site for over a month. I’ve been getting myself sorted out, finding a look I wanted to use, trying to figure out why I should even bother with the site, things like that — the big, meta questions, the ones for which I still don’t have answers. But with Reed’s help, I’ve found a good offline editor for posts, and I’ve figured out a little more about how to make this weblog thing work, so…maybe I’ll start using it properly this time. We’ll see. If I don’t post again for another month? Maybe I was wrong.
