It's been one year since Furtannia was published.

The UK furry fandom means a lot to me, and I'm grateful to everyone who picked up a copy and showed their support, including those who were inspired to study the fandom further.

Thank you all.

Just heard the main song. I like the distorted digital riff, but yeah, this doesn't feel much different from the time they wrote a song for the Polybius game.

Still wild that the people who wrote the soundtrack to Soul could also make this.

Heck, I love Tron Legacy, but the idea of them taking Tron way too seriously and hiring Jared Leto... I hope the soundtrack is good.

Not to mention the "double speak" that you hear politicians use all the damn time.

Indeed! Tempest is a whole lot different on an actual vector display.

Kickstarter Campaign below. I especially like that it'll come with an SD card slot to allow homebrew games to be playable on it.

None of the official "mini" consoles allows this without hacking.

Coming soon: Vectrex Mini

The best vector console is back!

It's one of a kind.

Gamepopper @gamepopper.bsky.social · 4d

There's a Vectrex Mini in the works and we got to try it out at Play Expo. Of all the old consoles that deserve a retro mini version, it's the Vectrex.

Particularly because you need the right monitor to play the games, no HD monitor will cut it.

Honestly tempted with the Kickstarter once it opens.
