Currently, you're not able to run Grub Guardian on most/all modern android devices, including some android emulators on PC. Even if you're able to sideload the latest .apk (v1.60.2.635052) on your device, the app will insta-crash every time you try to open it. This happened to me when I tried getting this game to run on several different android phones, the LDPlayer9 emulator, and the MuMu Player 12 emulator; all methods/devices suffered the same issue (except for one phone which outright refused to sideload the .apk)
What finally worked for me: MuMu Player 6. It's a legacy version of the MuMu emulator that is no longer being updated.. but for me (US, non-Steam Wiz101 account) I can run Grub Guardian, log into my Wiz, and I get 0 crashes!

Priority Projects
These Projects are the ones that have the lion's share of my attention and will be the next to come out (unless outside circumstances cause me to change priority).
Priority 1: Realm of the Jumper Supplement Updates 1.1 & 1.2 Originally, I was going to release the "Dungeons & Dominions" update for this one. However, upon review, I quickly realized that the pricing of the document needs a massive reworking before I can progress with it. I'm not a fan of supplements that give massive boosts for next to no cost, but I think that caused me to go too far in the opposite direction with this one, to the point where things that would only help out in the jumper in very specific situations cost an amount of resources that would take multiple Jumps to build up. Currently, the version being worked on is titled "The PP Balancing Update" (because I am extremely mature), and will focus solely on re-adjusting prices (alongside mechanical clarifications, since it seems that the Supplement being a between-jump dimension and not an always accessible warehouse extension was lost on most people who read it), while the "Dungeons & Dominions" update will be made directly afterwords, and will focus on providing cities, town, facilities, and rpg-esk dungeons to add to one's Realm.
Priority 2: That One Pit Stop Supplement Inspired by my many visits to the local 24-hour gas station during all-nighters for my various classes. This will be a simple Supplement that'll give the Jumper a place during Jumps where they can refuel their vehicles, pick up particular foodstuffs, and just take a break during long voyages. It will be akin to a Warehouse extension, only instead of it being accessed from the Jumper's Warehouse, exits to it along highways/pathways/interstellar trade routes will appear when the Jumper desires to go to it. A helpful in-between for Jumpers who wish for a location they can be guaranteed to have access to in order to refuel and resupply, without the stuff inside it being free or having an unlimited supply of every single item they desire like a Warehouse upgrade would provide. This Supplement will also provide a nice little bonus for those that also are using my Realm of the Jumper Supplement, but I'll leave the nature of what that bonus is a surprise for now. I've got most of the planning done for this one, I just need to get it all formatted into a pdf/google doc. Depending on how fast I progress with this one, it'll be released either between Realm of the Jumper's 1.1 & 1.2 updates, or directly after its 1.2 update.
Other Projects
These ones are not listed in any particular order and are ones that I'm hoping to get around to eventually but cannot make any promises of when that'll be (or even if they'll get done at all).
Project 1: Wizard101 Jump One of my childhood MMOs that I've recently been getting back into. I was originally helping a group of people who were working on a Jump for this game, but that project eventually fell through. This one would likely be more focused around the first two arcs of the game, as that's as far as I've gotten.
Project 2: Sgt. Frog/Keroro Gunso Jump Another sample from my childhood. With how popular the series was in its heyday, I'm honestly shocked that this series doesn't have its own Jump. Most of the difficulty of this one will come from trying to figure out which items to include (as there's a shit ton of them of note), mixed with the fact that the series' wiki is VERY bare bones, so I might have to rewatch a lot of it in order to do the jump right (which considering the series is over 300 episodes long with 5 movies and countless specials, could take a while). If I'm being honest, I'd rather not be the one to make this Jump, since I don't know if I'll be able to deliver compared to someone more knowledgeable on the series, but I've always been of the mindset that one should be the change they want to see rather than wait around for someone else to be it, so it's time to put my proverbial money where my proverbial mouth is.
Project 3: Every Frame a Pause Jump/Jump Supplement My go-to background noise podcast, and hopefully a much easier to make one. This Jump would put the Jumper as a member of the Podcast EFAP in a set up similar to how the Mystery Science Theater Jump has the Jumper become a host on that show. The abundance of memes in the EFAP community would make it easy to come up with various Backgrounds, Perks, Items, and other such things for this Jump. This Jump would give Jumpers the choice to either go through it as its own separate Jump or import it into any settings that are depicted to be taking place in the quote on quote 'real world'.
Project 4: Lego Monkie Kid Jump I binged this series due to being a big fan of Journey to the West and the animation team behind it (who also animated Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and wound up loving it. The Series is ripe with potential for a Jumpdoc. Also, while it is still a fairly higher power-level series, the characters in it are far lower level in that sense than those in the original Journey to the West, so it provides a good opportunity to give early/mid level Jumpers access to abilities similar to those of characters from JttW without completely removing all future danger from said Jumpers' Chain.
Project 5: Pikmin Gauntlet We already have a Pikmin Jump. However; and I mean no disrespect to its creator when I say this; it is currently lacking in many things show in the Pikmin Series since its creation and shows no sign of being updated anytime soon. This new Gauntlet would allow the Jumper to choose which scenarios across the Pikmin Series they wish to play through, with the games currently planned to be given as options are Pikmin 1, Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3's main campaign, Pikmin 3 Deluxe's bonus Olimar missions, the Pikmin 2 rom hack Pikmin 251, and the various extra missions across the series (I was going to include Pikmin 4, but unfortunately that game is so radically different from the others due to things like Oatchi and the items provided that I can't balancing the other scenarios around them). Each option chosen to go through would give additional points to use in the Gauntlet similarly to
SonicCody12's Kirby Star Allies Jump. It would also include fan made Pikmin types to cover series hazards that don't currently have a Pikmin type that's immune to them, and potentially the option to play as various series enemies and/or bosses.
On-Pause Projects
These ones (or in this case,
this one) are projects that are in a state that I'm satisfied with and are considered completed.
Project 1: Variant Pokémon Semi-Universal Supplement I've included everything in this one that I set out to include. While I have received a few ideas of new things to add, I'm not planning on updating this one until a new major battle mechanic and/or category of Pokémon is introduced (so likely not until the next Generation drops).
Hey everyone just getting back into wizard101 after I quit when my old account got hacked I saw that steam is giving a free membership and I was wondering that is it an actual free year membership or is it just for a moment type of thing
The Gamestop, five dollar monthly coupon no longer works with wizard101 gift cards rip to the hack
Hey guys! So, I started playing this game when i was around 12, i got a membership from my parents and hit legendary about a decade ago, sadly that account got hacked and right after that happened, i lost motivation to play, now about a decade later.
I restarted fresh last friday and I just got into dragondpyre, but what seems to bother me is how in terms of graphics, nothing has changed (sometimes i even get stuck on a blanc pixel or something)
How awesome would it be to see wizard101 run on unreal engine, as of right now wizard101 uses gamebryo and tbh, it ain't all that.
With the combat system and cinematics it is honestly mind boggling they haven't considored switching to a powerful engine.
What are your thoughts on this?
This is my first post on Reddit! I’m usually a lurker but with the recent Wizard101 hack and the in turn free membership I’ve gotten back into the game and world. With that I was wondering what you all marvelous masterminds of the color pie would assign each Wizard101 school.
