Got really close to getting that sponsor

Got really close to getting that sponsor

This one goes out to everyone who remembers the stream joke about me getting sponsored by Red Bull or Monster Energy drinks.

During today's 13 hour development stream JetBrains who make the IDE (basically the programming app that I use for EliteMobs) showed up on stream and gifted me a year's subscription to the software.

EliteMobs 7.3.13 poll - Pick the direction!

As promised, it is the 1st of January 2022 and we are ready to cast the first direction vote of the year!

EliteMobs 7.3.12 is about ready to get released, and I will be working on finalizing the last few touches (and working on Primis) as this poll counts down.

Once again, three options are presented before you. Once again, you are a...

EliteMobs 7.3.13 poll suggestions

Back in the day, one of the Patreon rewards used to be the ability to submit suggestions for polls where a direction is picked for EliteMobs.

This was discontinued mostly because polls didn't get that much interest back then, and it was replaced with dungeons which was far more interesting.

With the success of the latest poll, I figu...

Probably sooner than most expected, myself included, Custom Models through Model Engine have been added!

This means you are now able to create your own custom models or use ones you find online to spice up the looks of your custom bosses!

As always, the setup on the EliteMobs side of things is as simple as I could make it; all you ha...

Eye surgery... didn't go so great

You may have noticed that lately I have not been on quite as much. This is almost entirely due to the lasik eye surgery I've been planning to have for a long time, and which I was hoping would have a very short recovery time.


Unfortunately my second surgery (left eye) didn't go so great, and as I result I am going to have a long...

Sorry for being AFK

Just a quick note here; I've simultaneously been pretty sick and completely swamped with IRL work for little over a week now, which has seriously affected my ability to work on EliteMobs.


I was hoping that I would already be back up to 100% right now at least health-wise, but I am still not quite there. Unfortunately it looks li...

Introducing transitive blocks

Transitive Blocks are a new feature of EliteMobs 7.3.8-SNAPSHOT-1 which will are about to become a staple of EliteMobs, so I figure this might be a good place to get a bit into how they work and why they were designed the way they are.

For starters, what is a transitive block?

Just a quick notice about something that will be happening after the next public release.

Global events are finally here!

For a long time it has been an ambition of mine to come up with a solid system to make global events.
