As it turns out, the messy front page in Chrome was due to the news section being surrounded in a <ul> block without actually being in a <td> block first. So Chrome users can actually read this text now! Yay!

I also corrected a problem in the releases database caused by an apparent upgrade in MySQL versions, in which "release" became a reserved word.

Hikari no Kiseki was formed nine years ago today. It's hard to say what the future will bring at this point, but it was refreshing to look back and see all that was accomplished up to this point. Hopefully we can wrap things up on a positive note sooner rather than later...

Also, I know the front page is a little broken in Chrome, but I haven't been able to track down the cause yet.

I just happened to notice that Nintendo this week is releasing a game named Pokémon Ranger: Hikari no Kiseki. It should be fairly obvious that this site has no affiliation to Nintendo's long-running franchise, but the coincidence is fairly amusing nonetheless.

The limited edition lithograph is also still available!

Normally, we commemorate the anniversary of our first release with a special release of some sort. This year, we decided to forgo this tradition in favor of focusing on our existing projects. Unfortunately, circumstances do not allow us to release anything today, but we hope to have several things coming out of the pipeline very soon!
