What is this place?
This website is a central hub for all things PowerX64. You can
find information about the PowerX64 project, and all of what's
taking place in it. Currently, this project focuses on game
development, and the YouTube channels, which are focused on
computers and other devices.
What is the aim of the PowerX64 project?
The PowerX64 project does not really have a goal, its just a
collection of projects that I want to share, and make easy to
access. I also want to ensure that users of any PowerX64
products or services can easily find information on them, give
feedback, and stay up-to-date with whats new. One thing I can
tell you about the PowerX64 project, is that we like to merge
the best of the past with the best of the present, in order to
avoid an undesirable future. For example, this website is
designed to look like its from the early 2000s, but its hosted
on a modern platform. Opinions are subjective, but I think this
website looks cool compared to the flat modern stuff.
Who are the people behind this project?
Currently, its just me. Sometimes you'll see pages written as if
there is a group of people behind this, but that simply is not
the case.
History Of This Project, from PowerCat, to
PowerX64.
Originally, this website was created purely for fun. I got the
inspiration form a YouTube video showcasing FrontPage 98, so I
downloaded FrontPage 2003 (then later 2002) and made this site.
This website was more of a personal site in its early days,
showcasing things I owned like computers, TVs and whatever else
I found interesting. The ActionCentre used to be that page.
There was once something called the LaughCentre (formerly, funny
page) on this site, where funny images were uploaded, but I
removed that eventually. We used to have an "Interests" page,
but that too was also removed in an attempt to de-personalize
the website.
As for the PowerX64 project, that kind of gradually came into
being. Technically, the "project" started back in 2016, with the
creation of the PowerX64 YouTube channels (see the channel page
for more info) then I gradually kept making more and more things
on the internet, until ending up with this mini ecosystem of
projects. One thing that made all these projects similar is the
naming scheme, for example, before the PowerX64 name, we had The
PowerDog Game, PowerDog's Adventure, the PowerDog YouTube
channels, PowerDog OnLine, etc, and before that PowerDog name
and the existence of this website, we had PowerCat, which was
the same thing but with Cat in the name instead of Dog. it took
until 2024 to come up with the idea to just label all this stuff
as a part of one project, that being, the PowerX64 project.
The Recent Name Change
As of April 23, 2024, PowerX24 has changed the name of its
services to PowerX64. Why did we ditch the PowerX24 name? This
is because the name did not have solid meaning. The "X24" prefix
never meant anything, so we changed it to "X64" to represent
64-bit computing, since the website is highly focused on digital
content creation, and computers. Existing links to
powerx24.neocities.org and powerdog.neocities.org now redirect
here. We have also put out another logo design along with this
name change, one that is a nice balance of simplicity and
style.
