  • Blackmoon Prophecy Discord Channel Launched

    Unofficial Venue Following the Official Server’s Deletion

    FFV Central has launched an unofficial Discord channel in support of the Blackmoon Prophecy series by fangame author UPRC. For how to join, click here.

    The channel is launched in response to the sudden removal and ongoing absence of a chat venue for fans of the fangame series on Discord.

    FFV Central already offers player support and modder support for various RPG franchises across different platforms.

    Official Discord Deleted by Author

    As reported on the r/FinalFantasy subreddit here, shortly after the remake released, the Discord server was suddenly shut down, and the website was updated to say the remake cannot be supported at this time.

    A Reddit user in the know posted what appears to be a Discord-DM screenshot (not reproduced here) and summarized it as follows:

    Update: Dev had a m[e]ntal breakdown due to a variety of factors in his personal life and the fan game getting a decent bit of popularity sent him over the edge.

    The fangame author himself later confirmed that there will no longer be any Discord server moving forward here:

    There is no longer a dedicated Discord server.

    We await UPRC’s return to social media and wish him well.

  • New Game Plus Modding Community Launches Site Redesign

    But Longstanding Forums Have Apparently Been Taken Down, Citing User Migration to Discord [Update: Read-Only Forum Archive Apparently Reinstated]

    Preview of the site redesign

    Says Kaffe, web designer of New Game Plus (NGPlus), in an announcement post here (emphasis added):

    A lot has changed since the old forum era. Most discussion now happens in chat rooms, and for us that mainly means Discord. Because of that, this site has been rebuilt with a very deliberate focus. We did not try to replace every old feature just for the sake of replacing it. We started with the essentials and built around hosting the content cleanly.

    That means:

    • the site is back in a rebuilt form
    • mods have cleaner dedicated pages
    • releases and downloads are easier to browse
    • maintainers now have a cleaner GitLab-based workflow behind the scenes

    The new setup also gives us a much steadier foundation. Instead of leaning on a pile of moving parts that need ongoing care, this site is now a static homepage hosted through GitLab [i.e., no forums]. That means less infrastructure to maintain, fewer things to break, and a setup that can be moved or rebuilt without much drama. There was more upfront work to get here, but the goal is simple: an infrastructure-light, near-maintenance-free site that works from day one and keeps working.

    ….

    Just to be clear, the community itself did not disappear while the old homepage aged out. NGPlus stayed alive through the people in it, the mods, and the conversations that kept happening elsewhere [i.e., in Discord]. What is returning here is the public-facing window: a cleaner, steadier place to host the work and point people toward it.

    Although completion of the site redesign seems to be a positive for the New Game Plus community, one caveat appears to be that the longstanding forums appear to have been taken offline.

    Example recent forum link no longer functional: https://ngplus.net/index.php?/forums/topic/992-ffvi-t-edition-lua-translation-v307-297-costume-stats-system-still-available-42926/

    Update on July 10

    A read-only forum archive has apparently been reinstated courtesy of Kaffe.

    So, what do you think? Were you a user of the New Game Plus forums? Do you agree that Discord is an adequate replacement?
