Weekly Log: 2015.08.30

Greetings, everyone.

I don't have much to say this time since it's currently all about Madness Day now. I decided that the less time is left, the more focus and effort should be put into the project.

So far, most of the first act (out of three) is finished. Still needs some polishing of the details, but overall, I am indeed making progress. Perhaps there will even be a trailer, but that's just an idea that's not even planned. Overall, the progress is about 25%.

Also, It's probably the first time I've properly animated several characters in one scene.

This picture shows the feeble attempt of a human security crew against alien scouts. And yes, Randomness 4 Real (a.k.a. Lunar Massacre) will have aliens. Yeah.

Not much once again, but that's what I've got or now...

Weekly Log: 2015.08.22

Greetings, everyone.

Barely anything to add to the blog this week.

The intro of the next (and possibly, the final) installment of Randomness is finally completed. There's still much ground left to cover, but at least now it became possible to make a trailer of the next project. Not that I'm sure I'll need to make it or not.

As for Dokuroshima, I've managed to only make little progress. I've got around making a single tune so far. It's only a first version of extremely rough and unadjusted quality of performance. In the release, much better version will be made, but so far, all I got is somewhat of a test tune.

(the preview access option is set for everyone, so it should work)

Also, I just happened to get my hands on Vegas Pro copy that actually works. That doesn't mean much yet because of all the Flash projects I'm going through, but at least it makes more ideas possible in the near future, like the Mad Monitor review show that I've contemplated a while ago. In fact, I've decided to test the software, so I came up with this crap:

So, that wasn't much, but that is it or this week *waves hand*

Weekly Log: 2015.08.15

Greetings, everyone.

This week wasn't very fascinating. In fact, it was nothing but the Real Life kicking my ass all the time. But now that it's finally over (supposedly), I can get back to the projects.

But before I get to Randomness once again, let's see what happened to every other project I worked on so far that's ongoing...

Works on Dokuroshima had been completely stalled, which seriously sucks. The voices are done, as well as the story. All I got left to do is the animation and the music choice. The latter will be surprising, considering that I've came around making prototype tunes which are not Milkytracker chiptune tracks for once and sound like actual music. Yes, I've got an opportunity to make my own soundtrack for Dokuroshima.

Speaking of which, the spin-off prequel webcomic series, "West Challenger vs. The World", is in extremely slow semi-progress, I guess? The plot is now contemplated and the strip is written, but no drafts done yet.

That is what I could get from the top of my head (not that the rest of the projects are not in the similar condition...), so let's see what is with the current project.

Randomness 4 Real almost has its intro done already, which is nice because I can at least go out on the general premise of the intro instead of nothing in order to tackle the particular plot now.

If I remember correctly, there already was Randomness 4, which in fact was an MD2014 submission, but it sucked so hard that I decided not to continue the saga from that point and make the "Real" Randomness 4, hence the title. Now that I got more than a month left until Madness Day 2015, I got no excuse to make a complete fail. I mean, the last Madness flash was of much higher quality, and it only took me a few weeks to put together, unlike Randomness 4, which took months of little work between Half-life and Portal gaming sessions. So yeah, I am back behind the Flash with much less distraction...

As of everything else, it's basically on hold until Randomness is finished. By the way, it is meant as the final episode of Randomness. Not the last Madness flash I'll ever make, but as far as the plot goes, it doesn't have much left to offer.

This week was just ballz, but at least it's back on track now...

An update about my current situation

It just so happens that something important came up in real life that I must do. Otherwise, things would definitely not get any good afterwards if I wouldn't address the issue. That's why there was no log last Friday, because I was too busy in Real Life trying to avoid certain consequences.

This Friday, though, shouldn't be difficult so I think it would be fair to be expected to have the log. Hopefully.
