1/1/2021 - Happy New Year!

Ah yes it is a new year, at least if you use the Gregorian calendar.. It seems like only yesterday I did a big revamp for the start of 2020, oh how times have changed. Little does the land of melons change while all the world roles around it to the whims of pesky humans. Have a good year everyone!

3/9/2017 - The next great America trip!

Iv started logging my next trip to America, this one will run for a few months, so probably wont be as interesting and fast paced as the last.. but as a person who enjoys going slow, thats not a complaint from me! AMERICA TRIP 2

4/8/2017 - Coding/Making Websites

There have been a few comments in my guest book by people interested in getting into web making and coding. You know if you have any questions about that, email me! Im happy to answer questions and point people to resources. Here a few links that might help you get started now.

I plan to release a few tutorials that focus on retro sites like this one, but don't hold your breath!...

20/7/2017 - Atari Days

Iv been cleaning up my old Atari 800 for the last few weeks, the monitor finally arrived, here it is all setup and ready to go! (Once some power cables arrive for the drives...)

So the kingdom passed 100,000 views today, according to the neocities hit counter. I don't generally note these milestones, but this time is an exception :P

Im really pleased with the way people have responded to this site. I hope it inspires you to make your own things.

13/6/2017 - Secret Projects!

Its been a month since my last update! Don't worry Im not dead, at least I'm fairly sure I'm not..

Ok I checked, I still have a reflection so yes Im not dead! I had finals, which I passed Yay me! And now Im working on a secret project..

Id tell you more about it, but I might give up and look like a right goof, so Ill just say, I MIGHT launch a cool thing in a few weeks... ;)

See ya soon, -Melo

30/4/2017 - Free From YouTube

Something that worries me is how this site will survive in 10-100 years time, Id like to think it would be here even if I got hit by a bus tomorrow.

With that in mind, all music and videos that depended on youtube have been replaced with on site media! It may be a little slower perhaps but in years to come when youtube fails, melonland will continue on!

23/4/2017 - Melon Goes VR!

Hi everyone! Its been a month since my last update. As usual I was actually just lazy, but I also have a big new thing!
A brand new VR section to the site! At least its a 3D section, I have not yet figured out how to get it on a VR headset.

The world is changing people! And while the 2d web is lovely, I think we can do better, and I sure plan to try!

This new section will be both about exploring and showing off 3D stuff. I think already I can see potential for doing things that were really not possible before. Its very exciting to have a whole new platform to create while still adding to this site!

Its quite simple for now but that will change >:D Give it a go here! 3D HYPER PORTAL LINK

22/2/2017 - Story Time

Iv been doing some work on the story out the window, its slow work, but its better than the copout google link I had there..

There is no end yet, Ill add one some day, but give it a try if you like!

12/2/2017 - Planes

I came upon these planes I made many years ago. They need some repairs and a serious dusting, but they are holding up well so far!

6/2/2017 - Melon Dreams

Hello humans! Its been a while since I updated, Iv been quite lazy. College started again and thats a thing, its somewhat better this term, though I have a test this week so maybe it will seem worse after that!
Iv cleaned up the homepage, it was loosing touch with its roots man, added some glow stars to the top so you remember your a star ;D

Do you ever wonder if this were your last update, what would the world remember you by, I like to hope every update to this site is one Id be proud to call the last, though I hope its not!

Anyway, enjoy the site, drop a note in the guestbook, I always like to know when people have dropped by.

26/7/2016 - To the moon!

I added a lil moon link up top there, I figured in a world where people seem so caught up in their own earth bound issues sometimes you need a reminder, its a big ass universe out there, don't be a twat and enjoy yourself.
