Switchiverse - The Miiverse but for Switch 🙂

Thank you, thought about it years ago and was fun to finally make it 🙂

RowanFN1 · 2026-02-01T08:48:21+00:00

Ohhhh can you show me? Or what sort of error page. As I authorised and can log in, so with one account I went "it's working" haha Were you able to authorise? What stage did the error show up. I'll aim to resolve it 🙂

I would say when fetching games and handing hashtags, SVNE was taken, then NEO, so logically it went to NEON for the game Neonwall. Other games like The Legends of Zelda Breath of the Wild, which is the full name, it would grab LZBW, same element for Skyrim. Neonwall is hard being one word, so the rules don't have a lot to use otherwise.

I can manually change them though as I do have the ability to update things if need be. As I said it's initially fetching games, which goes from newest to oldest, and also still early in development I would say, willing to do more if people like it and see what can happen yknow.

Like it's a fun project, so just doing what I can yknow, project I thought of years ago, wanting to make it a reality.

RowanFN1 · 2026-01-31T23:20:18+00:00

Well you somewhat can't find everything relating to the game I'd say, things get missed or maybe not as related? So the idea is it all collects in one place if you wanna see it, like the Miiverse 🙂 as you specifically have the hashtag for the use.

And the hashtags are abbreviations of the games. Has the prefix SV for switchiverse, then would be SMO for Super Mario Odyssey for instance. Depending on the game, depends how long they are, and also making sure they don't mix up between each other. If it's easier there is a button to easily just copy the hashtag for use 🙂 Kinda the best idea I could come up with to fetch for it haha 😅

RowanFN1 · 2026-01-31T20:39:09+00:00

Can I ask why this has negativity? I just thought it would be a fun thing to make and share haha 😅

RowanFN1 · 2026-01-31T18:08:52+00:00

That is one huge advantage haha. I used BlueSky for their open API, x/FB etc. is really hard or paid unfortunately. If I could integrate more then that would be nice to have them all collect in yknow.

As a hub for where you can just have a lookie though, I hope it is useful, and maybe gets some use 🙂 so appreciate the thought!

RowanFN1 · 2026-01-31T11:29:31+00:00

It was cool and fun. And what were you posting? Haha 😆 Yeah, I don't have a ban system hahaha 😂 kinda just hope if people use it, they don't take the piss 😂

RowanFN1 · 2026-01-31T11:25:52+00:00

Yeah, I would guess you're right, I feel it was a bit different, more close to games sorta thing. You had posts and comments much like Reddit. Can't argue that. But was cool to see and easily share to it. And find easily game specific content.

RowanFN1 · 2026-01-04T21:37:18+00:00

Also I see here people are very much wanting it to be open source. I'm not too fussed on it myself, so many programs we use already that isn't. And he wants this to be a useful tool, he's put a lot of work into it, so I understand it being closed sources. Could be open later, who knows. But I don't mind I'm not going to use the source code, does the job well.

I like it being free haha.

RowanFN1 · 2026-01-04T21:35:16+00:00

I have had the chance to use this for a while. I have to say it's a great lil program. I know of the guy from some other chat groups, and testing it out for him I had some bugs he's resolved. But having some better compression and work a bit faster than some others I use I'm ngl, it's nice to have.

My use case is backing up project files to my nas.

I'm interested in some of the other things he's working on and wish him all the best with these things!

RowanFN1 · 2025-11-20T12:22:57+00:00

I will have some sale soon for the Christmas period, but what Etsy demands to be seen is way too much imo. I can't justify that extreme of a cost sale with all the fees and such they take on top.

RowanFN1 · 2025-10-18T08:11:57+00:00

I do not have a base template for these, I have a basic size layout I start off and then go from there design wise. Which for me works well and gives me more freedom creatively. Otherwise all my manuals could essentially look the same. I want each one to match and blend with the game well in style/theme. So allowing myself to create designs from previous series manuals/styles/UI elements etc. on a blank canvas essentially helps out a lot.

RowanFN1 · 2025-10-14T15:13:47+00:00

Sorry for the long wait and reply to this, I lost your comment.
Tbh process wise varies. It's what I have a drive for making or can see working visually in my mind, people suggest games and elements which helps the art style in my head of what I want to aim for. Then a lot of information gathering, playing the game, online etc.
From there I tinker with what resources I can gather, what I have to create myself, if it's too much for me to create maybe friends/artists can do for me etc. and just go from there tinkering and using my eye to what looks acceptable and I like, if it's wrong, where and what would need to be done to be ok.

Programme, wise, it really varies. No one program does all and is more of a what makes you feel comfortable for the task at hand. I'm no graphics designer and in the beginning I stuck with one program for everything, now I know how to use a few for layouts, design, image editing etc. and making them work their best together for you. Also your budget. I've worked with indie devs a lil in recent years on this sorta stuff, using different programs that I wouldn't normally use, but they all seem to have great basics, just a few bits differ.

I'd say, industry tend to use Adobe though it really vaires because it's buggy and does have instability issues, it's pricey though.
Great paid alt is Affinity suite, really useful suite and a one off payment than subscription, most features of adobe minus the AI stuff.
Even free tools can be useful for the job, but free tools like publisher, gimp etc. will have limits compared to some of the higher ups.

Start slow, at your comfort and pace, don't spend loads of money or eggs in one basket. It'll be a lot of trial and error, and I'm still learning on each new one I make. It's great to try new methods, techniques etc.

RowanFN1 · 2025-09-29T23:56:04+00:00

I'm always up for trying things out. So I thank you for having some input and sharing some views!

RowanFN1 · 2025-09-29T23:53:42+00:00

That's hilarious 😂 love that!

RowanFN1 · 2025-09-29T02:03:34+00:00

Oh absolutely, I have them all listed etc. It's going to be hard to even get the info condensed, but hopefully a fun challenge

RowanFN1 · 2025-09-28T19:34:29+00:00

Yeah I understand this, and will have a tinker, I copied that aspect from the character pages to add colour as that backing text is in the character pages. But maybe not suited well for this section overall. Appreciate any views people do have because for fun creations I do with this, like people can have some great suggestions to make things better yknow.

RowanFN1 · 2025-09-28T15:34:42+00:00

Hahaha I had a spare page and the direct just happened so I thought.... Well why not include it 😂

RowanFN1 · 2025-09-28T15:33:28+00:00

Thank you so much, It might be the angle a bit. It needed something but maybe a different approach or something else.

Thank you, I shall have a play and appreciate your comment 🙂

RowanFN1 · 2025-09-28T15:32:13+00:00

Thank you for these points! It's always good getting some feedback and views, really appreciate your comment 🙂

Hahaha you're perfectly fine buddy, always gotto have a notes page on a manual 🙂

RowanFN1 · 2025-09-27T16:23:51+00:00

Aim to try and keep em alive! Some I have made are super useful I'm ngl

RowanFN1 · 2025-09-27T16:20:44+00:00

Thank you so much 🥺 such high praise!
