Welcome to the Internet Channel homebrew blog!

Welcome to the newly-designed blog for Internet Channel homebrew. I figured that with the rebirth of many projects at both WiiOperaSDK.com and HullBreachOnline.com, it seemed only fitting that this blog be reborn as well. Enjoy!

SlickShady333’s review of DSiPaint.com


Sylverstone14’s review of DSiPaint.com

I’ve been making major layout changes to http://wiioperasdk.com, matching it closer to the layout of http://dsoperasdk.com.  Wii versions of some of the DS Opera SDK apps will make their way onto the website, including WiiPaint and the WiiChatroom.  These changes will be on-going for about a week.  Members will be able to log in right on the menu now for using the apps.

Changes so far include:

  • References to old versions of the Wii Opera SDK have been removed.
  • Image links at the top have been removed since many of those links are now broken
  • The main menu it now the default page instead of the raycaster menu

DSiPaint is now available for users of the Nintendo DSi Browser by visiting http://dsoperasdk.com.  This incarnation of the Web application allows members of http://hullbreachonline.com / http:/twiiter.wiioperasdk.com / http://dsoperasdk.com to paint images with the Nintendo DSi stylus and save them to a public gallery.  Others can browse the gallery by thumbnail.

Coming soon to the art gallery will be top lists and voting. DSiPaint will have more brushes and a few other features.

HullBreach Online, the first MMO RPG for the Wii’s Internet Channel, has been scaled down to run on the Nintendo DSi Browser to play while on-the-go.  Even though the graphics have been shrunk, don’t think that means the gameplay has.  HB Online Lite boasts all the sectors, planets, missions, tradeable goods, ships, upgrades, asteroids, NPCs, chat functions, and player stats, that its older brother has. In fact, both the game universe and player accounts are shared, so players can seemlessly jump between versions of the game at any time.

HB Online Lite has a completely new interface that favors lower resolution, lower bandwidth, and an all touchscreen interface. Communication with the server has been accelerated, and the backend generates content using the newest technologies, something that dates the older HB Online.

HB Online Lite also contains a few features not present in HB Online.  The first is real-time Twiiter feeds. Now players can see posts to the Wii/DS rapid blogging website appear instantly in the communication pane during gameplay.  Also shops and shipyards now have NPC dialogs that ensue when selecting purchases or making sales.

Is the mobile version not your style? Don’t worry: Both versions will continue to gain massive amounts of content over the next few weeks.  Players may visit the game one day to find Sector Theta Eta empty, and a visit the next day could reveal planets with several missions and goods to trade. New content will be dropped into both versions, becoming available in real-time.

To try HB Online Lite or HB Online now, visit http://hullbreachonline.com .  Remember that accounts are shared between games, but Twiiter (http://twiiter.wiioperasdk.com) and DS Opera SDK (http://dsoperasdk.com) accounts are the same as well.  Join the other 4800 players today!
