 After his health had improved again, he would return as news editor, but his interests were slowly shifting away from calculators, causing him to announce in June 2012 that he was officially stopping calculator programming (although he had actually stopped coding for two years beforehand) and would no longer post calculator-related news on a regular basis. In late 2012, however, as the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition was leaked, he started TI-84 Plus BASIC again and then switched to TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition BASIC as soon as the new calculator came out in Spring 2013. Around that time, he also experimented with HP 39gII programming and released one game. He also got involved into HP Prime programming and plans to release new games for it in the foreseeable future. He also started a new calculator forum called CodeWalrus, co-founded with aeTIos, Pimathbrainiac, juju and Streetwalrus.
-Since Kevin started TI programming, 9 of his ticalc.org files made the headlines and participated in POTY surveys (sometimes more than one in a single poll): The Legend of Zelda: Dark Link Quest, The Reign of Legends 3, Reuben Quest 1 and 2, xLIB xLIB Revolution, Metroid II: Evolution, Illusiat TI-81 Remake, Illusiat Complete Collection (which included the TI-81 game) and Supersonic Ball. Both Reuben RPGs participated in the same POTY survey in 2005, along with XXR. Ironically, Sorunome's Axe and ASM remakes of the two RPGs competed against each others for a POTY award as well, this time in 2014. Although Kevin never won a POTY, Sorunome's ASM remake of his Reuben Quest 2 game did.

 ==Biography==
-Kevin Ouellet was an active TI-83/83+ calculator programmer during the first decade of the 2000's. He is mainly notable for his many RPGs released, as most were the longest and most complex RPGs developed on the Z80 models, and include the Illusiat series, The Reign of Legends series, Reuben Quest series, Mana Force and Mana Force. Starting TI-Basic programming in July 2001, he used this language through almost his entire programming career, along with assembly libraries starting in 2003 to enhance his games.

 In his early programming career, his release rate was quite rapid, sometimes finishing two large RPGs in a single month. As a result, the Illusiat series, excluding the 13th game, was finished in less than one and a half years, with several other releases in between including three other large RPGs. He slowed down to two or fewer releases per year in 2005, however, and after Reuben Quest: The Lost Mirror in January 2005, it took over one decade before he releases a major RPG again. His other non-RPG products include Metroid II: Evolution, Metroid II: The Last Chozo Expansion Set, xLIB xLIB Revolution and a TI-81 remake of the first Illusiat game.

-In July 2010, he went into a 2.5 years coding hiatus, but the arrival of the color TI-84 Plus model revived his interest. Since 2013, he has released a few smaller games for the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition, HP 39gII and the HP Prime. He also finished his final Axe Parser game that he originally started in 2010. He is now programming TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition hybrid BASIC and HP Prime PPL.
+In the TI community, he also contributed with the creation of Omnimaga in 2001 and CodeWalrus in 2014, which are websites and programming teams. He started participating in online discussions only in 2003, two years after releasing his first game. Omnimaga eventually became one of the most active forums before shutting down in 2008. He reopened another Omnimaga site later that year, which eventually led the TI community in activity for a few years before slowing down.

+Life issues spanning from the second half of 2009 until early 2011 caused his health to slowly deteriorate. This combined with TI community disputes (see below) led him to take a step back from most calculator sites and some of his Omnimaga duties (including FTP access). In early 2011, life issues ended, but his health would continue to deteriorate for months before finally starting to improve, and it would never fully recover. As a result of this combined with more TI community problems, he retired from Omnimaga staff entirely in July 2011.

 In early 2009, after Omnimaga had re-opened due to much demand, he stopped his campaign to get other forums to become friendlier, realizing it caused more problems than benefits. He decided to take a different approach instead, focusing entirely on Omnimaga's hostility-free mentality to attract members. After over a year of no disputes or attacks, Kevin eventually put his calculator releases back on ticalc.org. In 2011, a rivalry started between Cemetech and Omnimaga, as both forums were very active, but had opposite mentalities on many fronts. This led to another peak of disputes in March and April 2011. Since some people involved in the 2008 disputes became involved again, Kevin responded by pulling his ticalc.org files again for another two years. This eventually led to his retirement from Omnimaga as an administrator in July 2011.
