Here's the deal - I just don't have any sort of time to work on this anymore. For a long time, Masa was doing a lot of the programming, but I haven't heard from him in over a year. On top of that, I haven't had any interest in Pokemon since the GSC generation.
Soooo…. At some point soon, I'll get the source code packed up and available to the public. If anybody decides to start up a new page for the project, I'll be happy to put a link here. In the meantime, the registry will remain up and running when I can, but I don't know how long it'll last.
This'll be interesting. Two questions I have are:
1. Will another developer pick up NetBattle and resume the project?
2. (This is more perplexing) Could GlitchBattle benefit from some of the sourcecode? Like, I don't know, including the option to connect to NB servers and import/export .pnb (or whatever format NetBattle uses for its player data) files?
3. Could we simply ditch the existing GB codebase and use NB source as a base?
