personal account of a 30-something weirdo masquerading as a "ZZT company"



I know a few folks decided to follow me because I posted some ZZT things early on. To them I would like to apologize, because (a) I haven't really posted much in the way of ZZT goods this year, and (b) those early pictures were actually from JZT1. As penance, I promise to spend this month making something for the ZZT community's yearly Oktrollberfest jam2, where I plan on once again getting top marks for artwork and bottom marks for trolling.

Beyond Oktrollberfest, I have a couple other plans for the near future:

a) A series of tutorial streams for Metroid 1 hacking, because I've noticed that most M1 hacks over the past 5 years (with only a couple exceptions) have not been made with a firm understanding of Editroid's featureset or the engine's capabilities.

b) Finishing the aforementioned JZT world by Christmas or early winter.

I've also made some updates on my site that I haven't posted here on Choochoost out of a mistaken fear of being self-aggrandizing. In honor of those fears, I have put these updates below the fold.


  1. Both existing JZT worlds are quite solid, and highly recommended for anybody who liked the original quartet of worlds by Epic.

  2. The 2023 Oktrollberfest page isn't up yet, but here's last year's page for reference.


[ FOLD POST HERE ]

a. As prophesied, I've collated my asks from the past quarter into a mailbag:

please give me more asks that means you

b. I've made several Metroid 1 hack maps that I haven't posted here:

They include maps of such hacks like Over the Moon (starring a cow named Bessie), Metroid M (which predates the other one), Ice Break (a rather small one), Samus vs. Karid-X (mine), Ridley X Hack 1 (named after the author), Ridley X Hack 2 (the author is a mega man hacker), and beth ™ (a neat kaizo-lite).

c. Finally, I made this piece of fanart of my OC chillin' with the protagonist of Super Junkoid:

I like to think they might be friends :eggbug:
