A new blog post for the month of October has been released. This is our first blog post where we focus specifically on the more technical/behind the scenes side of things, rather than actual feature updates. Let us know if these are the sorts of updates you'd like to see in future blog posts!
This months blog post goes over a number of internal affairs and in-development experiments we've been running, including a new relationship with the Archiverse team, some experimental new server software, and new internal tooling to hopefully streamline the creation of new servers for simple games!
For all the details, see https://pretendo.network/blog/11-1-24 (as there are far too many to go over here!)

A few days late, but with July now over we've got another round of updates for you all! This includes an overview of all the new changes to existing games, some future goals, and new information regarding Animal Crossing: New Leaf :D
https://pretendo.network/blog/8-2-24
Note: We know that we have released monthly progress update posts twice in a row now, but to be clear this may not consistently happen. Much of our work is research related, deals with internal tooling, making updates/improvements to our helper libraries, etc. These updates are not always necessarily interesting enough to make it into blog posts, so there may be periods where we do not publish any. However if you'd like to see these smaller things featured in blog posts, we may begin to include them

With June coming to a close, we'd like to take this time to talk about some recent updates, and future plans, for Pretendo. The full announcement is too long with a single post here, so see our full blog post for all the information: https://pretendo.network/blog/6-29-24
In this blog post we go over some unreleased new updates to our server libraries which should help with overall stability, the details of ten games receiving either new updates or beta testing (including Smash, Pokemon, and Puyo Puyo), and more!
Thank you everyone for your constant support and patience! 💜

Shutdown reminder!
With just 2 weeks left until the Nintendo Network shutdown, we'd like to take this time to remind everyone that we are accepting network packet dumps for all games, for both the Wii U and 3DS! These packet dumps give us a glimpse into how the games operated when the official servers were still online. While technically possible to do without these dumps, having reference material like this will make the job of making replacement servers FAR easier once these servers go offline!
This is ESPECIALLY true for more obscure/less popular games, and games which have custom additions to them. Having network dumps for smaller games is just as, if not more, important than the bigger ones as we'd likely have much less reference material for them! We know everyone is excited to help get the big names going, but we can't forget the little guys either!
That being said, we appreciate ALL users who help us with this crowd sourcing! We have gotten a LOT of amazing data from everyone so far, all of which will definitely help us moving forward.
For those interested in contributing network packet dumps, see our guide on our website here https://pretendo.network/docs/network-dumps. This page also includes a section listing some games we consider "high priority", though these are NOT the only games we still need data for.
For those curious about our current network dump stats, so far we have:
NOTE: These numbers come from the number of network packet dumps submitted through the Bandwidth upload command, and may not represent the real total number of dumps submitted.

We have been given the green light to announce this. There have been some positive updates regarding our last blog post about the connection issues with Nintendo Network, and some information on some other issues we had not yet talked about publicly (one of which is also now fixed)
Our full update blog post can be found here https://pretendo.network/blog/12-27-23
If there are more updates we will update that blog post, or create a new one if the changes are significant enough
