MidEvil v1.220: quests under the clock, a chest and Heal button for Scout, and smooth curved paths.

MidEvil 1.218: joining a friend's game is much quicker, and loading your farm is too.

MidEvil 1.216: pets grow up, treasure maps, shooting stars and a travelling caravan, a weekly raid boss, the Gauntlet with a leaderboard, contests, and islands to sail to (one has a dragon), plus arm-waving HD spellcasting.

MidEvil 1.214: play with friends (host your world, they join with a code), and the Wilds get shrines, ancient oaks, fairy rings, farmsteads, watchtowers and shipwrecks.

MidEvil 1.212: disturb the dead in the Catacombs (coffins, skull heaps, haunted urns, sealed tombs with a Tomb Guardian), and the old mine gets its track, carts and lanterns.

MidEvil 1.210: the Catacombs look like a catacomb now, with burial niches, stacked skulls, stone coffins, candles and cobwebs.

MidEvil 1.208: your pet's card sits at the top left now, as in Fate; click it for its inventory beside your pack.

MidEvil 1.206: everyone faces eight ways now, the diagonals turned three-quarters: you, your gear, villagers, pets, the horse and the farm animals. Hit boxes match the pictures, and the info boxes are short and neat.

MidEvil 1.205: snow drifts into the Highlands, paths bend smoothly, the Catacombs' rock and walls merge, and the Valley Planner blends what you paint.

MidEvil 1.204: Frostpeak's snow now wanders out into the grass around it instead of ending in a straight line.

MidEvil 1.203: the valley on the world map is drawn in the same style as the Wilds, so the whole map reads as one land.

MidEvil 1.202: on the world map, the valley now fades into the Wilds instead of sitting in a box.

MidEvil 1.201: the Wilds and the valley blend at the border, and Silas has a proper camp by the stream.

MidEvil 1.200: caves of real rock, Catacombs that crumble into the cave, Silas camping by the stream, and a new grove east of Thornbury.

MidEvil 1.199: jump down off cliffs, mine the glowing cave crystals, smash barrels and crates for loot, and softer HD-2D lights.

MidEvil 1.198: weapon reach (longswords and spears reach further than clubs), cobbles and paths that never repeat, fuller wheat, and no walking cursor box.

MidEvil 1.197: HD bridges, softer joins where paths and cobbles meet the grass, calmer grass, shadows the right way round, and sticks you can wade through.

MidEvil 1.196: the 3D art tidied up. A gentler angle (centred roofs, round barrels and bins, nothing stretched), a steady fireplace, and no more stacked-looking props.

MidEvil 1.195: every building, prop, tree and rock redrawn in real 3D pixel art, and the valley comes alive with chimney smoke, birds, butterflies, falling leaves and glinting water.

MidEvil 1.194: the Catacombs' wall tops are stone now (coping stones round the edges, mossy rubble inside) instead of plain black.

MidEvil 1.193: every building and structure redrawn with real depth (side walls, roof ends, chimneys), and the screen is sharp edge to edge again.

MidEvil 1.191: buildings and every structure now stand out in 3D, with side walls and roofs going back into the scene, and the sun rays are gentler.

MidEvil 1.190 goes HD-2D: the pixel valley lit like a miniature, with sun shadows that turn through the day, glowing lamps, sun rays and soft focus.

MidEvil 1.188: every shop trades the same way. Their wares in a grid like your pack, click to buy, drop yours on their side to sell, and buy back anything you sold by mistake.

MidEvil 1.187: a bug check (21 fixes), villagers who stop and say hello when you walk up, one-slot gloves, Town Portals only in the Catacombs.

MidEvil 1.185: unlearned crafting recipes stay a mystery (???) but now tell you how to learn them.

MidEvil's menus got a tidy-up: one book with six tabs and sub-tabs, and the 212 crafting recipes sorted into lists with a Can make filter.

MidEvil got ten times bigger: the Wilds, 96 generated lands round the valley with caves, waystones, ruins and rivers, plus over a hundred new things to craft.

MidEvil 1.180: a full bug hunt and balance pass (capped stats, fair spells, money loops closed), plus the Gilded Runner, floor-clear rewards, armour sets, and Farming and Crafting pages in the wiki.

MidEvil 1.179: Thornbury rearranged to Brady's fourth valley plan, Hesper's out at the Old Keep, and Ansel takes over Garrick's fish booth.

MidEvil 1.178: Fennick the minstrel now wanders Thornbury, Garrick takes over Ansel's rods and bait, and Tobin cracks the geodes.

MidEvil 1.177: eight new spells, from Ice Lance to Thunderstorm and Blink, and every spell now really animated.

MidEvil 1.176: the Catacombs' casters drop wizard staffs and spell tomes, each kind its own line, so you can work towards the staff or spell you want.

MidEvil 1.174: spell-casting and summoning monsters and bosses in the Catacombs, no more swarms deep down, and beasts that each move at their own speed and only come for you once they spot you.

MidEvil 1.173: the mine's crabs, slimes and wisps now turn up in the Catacombs too.

MidEvil 1.172: deep armour and jewellery, every ring and necklace its own design, Fate-style gems, and jewellery for your pet.

MidEvil 1.171: the deep Catacombs drop better weapons the further down you go (ten new materials, 130 new designs), plus wizard staffs and three big new spells.

MidEvil's Catacombs now go down to floor 452: a hundred more beasts out of Greek, Norse, Celtic, Slavic and Finnish tales, a new one every three floors, all the way down to Kronos and Ymir.

MidEvil's quest board posts a hunt every day: a named beast in a red halo, and the fine weapon it carries is yours if you bring it back. The giants are giant now, too.

MidEvil's Catacombs have fifty new beasts out of Greek myth and the northern tales, a new one every three floors, from nisser and satyrs down to Surtr and Typhon.

MidEvil has a graveyard by the Catacombs' stair now, where Aldous the Enchanter wanders day and night in a violet cloak, and Silas's Gamble has moved up into the highlands.

MidEvil's map now marks where your quests send you with gold flags, and the Catacombs' quest board is an ancient cracked standing stone.

MidEvil's weapons now scale like Fate's: damage ranges, four swing speeds and 125 unique weapons. Armour has its own colours and new robes, and chaos gear glows with pulsing veins instead of rainbows.

MidEvil's armour and weapons are all their own designs now: 48 kinds of armour and 168 different weapons, one per material, and a new Armoury page on the wiki shows every one.

MidEvil's valley has been rebuilt from Brady's own map: a new Thornbury, the Catacombs under the Old Keep and the mine in the marsh.

MidEvil: Aldous the Enchanter traded his tower for a purple market stall

MidEvil now has spells, a pet companion that follows you into the Catacombs and fights beside you, see-through trees and buildings, walking by mouse, and achievements for every world.

Ten new Baubra Backdrops, from a synthwave grid to glowing jellyfish and a ringed gas giant, each with its own music. Every backdrop now plays at 60 fps at your screen's full resolution, and you can make one in any shape and size, up to 8K.

MidEvil keeps your worlds now: start as many farms as you like, each shown with a picture of how it looked when you last saved, and delete the ones you're done with. Signed in, they're all kept online too.

Every Baubra Backdrop now has its own peaceful music, from felt piano to campfire guitar, with rain or fire as an alternative on some. And the backdrops now work on Macs, iPhones, iPads and Chromebooks too.

MidEvil's valley is one land now: the places fit together with no gaps, and where two meet, snow, marsh and sand drift over the border. Plus birches, scarlet maples (tap them for syrup), wild cherries in spring blossom, and fruit trees that each look like themselves.

MidEvil's mine goes deeper: below floor 20 lies the Deep, 20 red-lit floors of skeletons, wisps and gold, with the Heart of the Mountain at the very bottom. Gold bars bring a new tier of tools, and 24 Honours reward milestones from your first harvest to your first million.

MidEvil: build and decorate wherever you like. Put up walls that join as you place them, add doors and paved floors, write your own signs, and fill house and garden from 46 new pieces: a piano, a suit of armour, tapestries, garden gnomes, a rose arch, even a windmill.

MidEvil's map is now a real picture of the valley, drawn from the world itself: your fields, the trees you left standing, snow in winter. Zoom in and drag it around. And late in the game, portal stones let you step between the places you visit most.

MidEvil's seasons now show: the woods turn gold in autumn, snow settles over everything in winter, and the oaks blossom in spring. Also a furnace for metal bars, bigger chests, a manor to build, a farmhouse you can repaint, autosave, and a menu button in the corner.

MidEvil: Tomas can now build a big coop (with an incubator) and a big barn (where happy animals have young), the winter Night Market fills the square for three nights, and secret notes turn up that lead to buried treasure.

MidEvil's world is yours to shape: farm anywhere there's grass, lay bridges and cut steps into cliffs, and dig your own way through to the next place. The hills are rounder, cleared woods grow back, and there's a new place to explore, the ruined Old Keep east of Whisperwood.

MidEvil gets thunderstorms: build lightning rods to catch the lightning as batteries (or it might hit your crops). Also warp totems, village bins to rummage through (don't get caught), and you can now zoom out to see more of the world.

MidEvil: five pairs of boots to find or buy (defence and speed), a second child for your family, and messages now pop up over your farmer's head and stay a little longer.

MidEvil has fish ponds: stock one with any fish and it breeds and lays roe. Five legendary fish now lurk in the valley's waters, one of each, for anglers good enough to land them. Ansel knows where.

MidEvil: build a slime hutch, hatch slime eggs and keep slimes that make goo, and turn the cave on your farm into a mushroom cave or a home for fruit bats. Starting a new farm now shows a map of each place, and your farmer turns round so you can see every side.

MidEvil has an Adventurer's Guild by the mine: meet Gunnar, buy swords and rings, and slay monsters for his goal board. Nine rings to find, craft or earn, and you can wear two.

MidEvil: design your farmer, name your farm and pick one of five places to start (meadow, river, woods, hilltop or lakeside). You can now move any farm building, and signs show where every road leads.

MidEvil has four more festivals (eight in all): dance round the maypole, float lanterns down the stream at night, find the Golden Pumpkin in the Spirit's Eve maze, and win Bram's ice fishing contest.

MidEvil: Stonefall Falls, a new mountain valley with waterfalls pouring over the cliffs, plus 25 new crops (41 in all). Scything grass sometimes turns up wheat seeds, and old oaks an apple sapling.

MidEvil: start a family (a baby in the cradle who grows into a toddler), look into the scrying glass for the weather and your luck, and fish up treasure chests. Fishing is now about timing: click when the fish is in the green.

MidEvil has Build mode: add rooms onto your house (a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom...), open doorways between them, choose each room's wallpaper and floor, and furnish it from a catalogue.

MidEvil now plays on phones (a thumbstick and buttons appear on the screen) and with a game controller, has a settings page for sound and controls, and has its own whimsical music.

MidEvil: wild animals roam the valley. Lure them with the food they like, catch them in a net, and tame them on your farm. Plus letters in your mailbox and crops that grow through winter.

MidEvil has pets and horses: adopt a puppy or a kitten from Tomas, and build a stable for a horse to ride around the valley at nearly twice the speed.

MidEvil: restore the Old Guildhall by filling its bundles (a greenhouse, minecarts and more are the rewards), lots of new things to craft, and full screen that fills ultrawide monitors (F11).

MidEvil has a museum: Rowan the archivist has twenty empty cases to fill. Dig where the worms wriggle to find artifacts and fossils all over the valley, and donate minerals from geodes and the mine.

MidEvil now has biomes and elevation: cliffs and stone stairs, snowy Frostpeak with a frozen lake and a ruined watchtower at the summit, and the Fenmire marsh with murky pools, willows and fireflies.

MidEvil has two new neighbours: Maren the boatwright on Saltmere Shore, with crab pots, and Oswin the stonecutter up in the highlands, who cracks open geodes. The game also loads faster: a slimmed-down engine cut the download from about 10.7 MB to 4.8 MB.

MidEvil's valley got bigger: Saltmere Shore with sea fishing and shells, the Greyfell Highlands with a lake and a quarry, and a map (press M) that fills in as you explore. Villagers also have heart events now, and you can date and marry Mira, Bram or Tomas.

MidEvil has festivals: the Egg Hunt in spring, the Midsummer Feast, the Harvest Fair in autumn and the Feast of the Winter Star. The whole village turns out, with prizes to win.

MidEvil has fruit trees: buy saplings from Hilde, and cherries, apricots, peaches, oranges, apples and pomegranates grow on your farm. Tappers turn your oaks and pines into resin and tar.

MidEvil now has skills that level up as you play, artisan machines (kegs, preserves jars, a cheese press, a loom, bee houses) and bombs for the mine.

MidEvil: fish in the farm pond and the village stream, dig your own ponds with the shovel, and raise ducks, goats, sheep and truffle-hunting pigs.

MidEvil has farm animals: build a coop and a barn, raise chickens and cows, pet them every day and collect eggs and milk (which make omelettes and pancakes).

MidEvil has a shovel: right-click to dig paths across your farm, lift the turf to lay somewhere else, and dig up bushes to replant them.

MidEvil now has accounts: sign in and your farm is saved online, so it survives a cleared browser. There's a Windows version too, and the same farm moves between the two.

MidEvil can cook now: sixteen dishes from what you grow, forage and catch, each with its own boost for the day. Villagers teach you their recipes as you become friends.

MidEvil: your farmhouse has an inside now. Furnish and decorate it, and have the carpenter extend it into a two-storey farmhouse with a kitchen.

MidEvil's adventure update: a forest to forage, a river to fish, and a 20-floor mine of fresh caves every visit, with swords, slimes and treasure.

MidEvil is rebuilt in Godot and now plays right in the browser: seasonal farming, crafting, and a village of six people to befriend, all drawn in code.

Every project now has its own page, with the story behind it, what I built and the tech it runs on. Sharing a link shows a proper preview card too.

Added a watchdog that checks the site every minute and restarts it on its own if it ever stops answering, and put the whole site's code under version control with an off-site backup.

New front page: Pixel Potion. Hundreds of thousands of particles, simulated on the graphics card, spell the name, flow into the logo and turn into each project's video when you rest on it.

TableCam moved to its new home at tablecam.baubra.com, as part of putting every project under one domain.

Launched TableCam: guests scan a QR code at an event and shoot from their own phone, and every photo lands in the host's Google Photos.

First playable prototype of MidEvil, a medieval farming and life RPG: till, plant, water and harvest through the seasons.

Launched Quiz Maker: paste a YouTube link and get a quiz, written by AI from the video and exportable to Google Forms.

Started FORMA-FIGHT, a real-time .io battle game that runs in the browser, with its own multiplayer server.
