Us neither.
Hi, it's been a while since we communicated here on the iox Blog, so much so in fact that not having a post being made since 2022, despite giving the blog a new coat of paint as of 2024 (out with the purple, in with the yellow), removing an unnecessary "S" in the name and actually incorporating it into the website for once, it kinda feels a bit like a weird taped-on page, doesn't it? Still, it's nice to have a form of direct communication that isn't just either the Discord or the YouTube community page. Feels quite homey.ioxTV.co has changed since we last used this page. In fact, it's changed so much, the homepage is now literally just an embed to our channel. Oh, and we added Flash games to the website too, just in case you found the previous versions of the site rather boring, or wanted something to do because the school computers blocked Coolmath or something. If you remember, we did have games on the website a while back, though they tended to be scuffed HTML5 games we ported from other spaces rather than fully-fledged games, like the new Flash games are now. We literally just did it because it was a cool idea, but it would be cool to make Flash games of our own shows. Some day. Thanks to Ruffle, this wouldn't have been possible. And they're probably at this rate, the best way to emulate Flash games as they're nearing completion of ActionScript 3, which means more potential games to add. Let us know what you'd love to see on the website.
Ah, and remember Featured Bits? You know, that one thing on the ioxTV.co website? We did a version of it over here, just as a form of archive to ensure that we could continue to update the regular page with new entries. Now the current page is an embed. You'll find a lot of ioxTV.co has been replaced by embeds, mainly so we don't have to keep updating the website constantly. Although we tend to mainly just ping folk on the Discord when there's a new pick in our playlist .You should really join our Discord. Would be nice to see the 2K viewers who recently watched our newest iox show to do that.
Oh, did we mention that we hit 2K views on Apocalypse Research Committee yet? It seems that a lot of folk really do love Judi and Gwen's antics. And, since we probably didn't really need to say already, ARC returns 17th March 2025. Stay tuned and ring the bells to ensure you don't miss out. Oh, and set up notifications on the Discord (did we tell you to join the Discord already? It's more active than it is here)
Okay, maybe we should cut it out with the Discord plugs. Because we're making this blog post to sort of indicate that we need ideas for this space. Of course, we could bring Featured Bits back, but obviously we wanna do more than just featuring other folks work. If you're able to, send us your ideas here in the comments or through our other communication channels. Blogs are really cool and it feels pitiful we've neglected our own. So let's change that.
