So I got an email saying that some posts I made for Petit Computer (SmileBasic 2 I guess?) on the old Fandom site were edited. Haven’t done anything with it in a long time and haven’t bought SmileBasic 4 on Switch. However, it was an important game for me to start thinking about the behind-the-scenes of games in a different way. I originally became invested in the series as a replacement for RPG Maker, and loved that I could make stuff with a portable console. Of course, that was until RPG Maker FES came along and I mostly haven’t been back since. What have I missed out on? What’s anyone (who still plays this and visits this site) up to? Since the 3ds online is dying are there issues with playing old Petite Computer/SmileBasic games?
Other than downloading Petit Computer itself, that one will continue to function at least, because the entire program is in the QR codes. As for SmileBASIC, I've heard that it's just the eShop and not all 3ds servers shutting down, but I could be wrong. I haven't heard a ruckus about SB3 about to become unusable.
As far as I know, online servers shutting is separate, but it’s a big deal for the FES community since NIS announced they would also shut down their servers for the game at the same time.
How are things with SB4? Better than I probably remember maybe?
Ah you'll have to wait for someone else to chime in, I'm not sure. I've been out of the loop.
Well it’s cool to see people still active here. I played a little bit of SB3 and remember it being a pretty big upgrade. I should have something called Rise uploaded here from SB3 as a failed attempt at participating in a competition, but that was a long time ago. And also no worries about the emails. I have enjoyed reminiscing about this.
