December 23rd, 2009

This is officially the first beta-ish launch of Kokaro. It's hard to believe that I had started this project more than a year ago when I knew very little about PHP and MySQL. It was Desbrina who helped me start the foundations of this site. A couple months ago, I found a renewed interest in this site after learning a lot more programming over the full year.

I plan to make a lot of changes a long the way including new features, games, and items. So stay tuned and help me out by testing/playing on the site.
