Backstory: about a month ago, I announced that I was going to speedrun my second game, to see how it would go. I hadn't played it in years, but how rusty could I be?
I gathered some fans, started the stream, and double-clicked the .swf file...only for it to open in VLC.
Oh right, Flash has been dead for years.
So I told them, slight change of plans. If I can't play the Flash version, I'll just have to remake the entire game from the ground up in Haxe.
Which is exactly what I've been doing ever since. It's a slight time loss, and as a result, my 130+ hour speedrun might not break the world record (5m53s), but at least I tried.
(Some might argue that the speedrun was never the point, and my real goal was always to port the game, give it a new coat of paint, and address its flaws. But that's absurd, and I deny the allegations.)
