Greetings, everyone.
New month came, and with it, new projects will come.
As you may know, Dokuroshima is almost done. I am literally a few scenes away from completing the animation. Then, the sound effects and music will be arranged, which won't take so long. Episode 1 Part 3 will come out this week.
As for the actually new stuff, I've been thinking about another project that was frozen: Mad Monitor. This is the show where I would be reviewing various, mainly infamous animation projects. The first, pilot video will come out right after Dokuroshima. The raw material is acquired, and all writing is done.
Other than that, I have other small animation ideas which are yet unrefined, but that's another story.
So, that's it for this update.
See you in a week or so...

Greetings, everyone.
Sorry for not following the weekly schedule, again. It's just a lack of things to write about. Long story short, Dokuroshima is still worked on: several scenes left to animate, plus sound effects, plus music, which is taken from the Audio Portal. Most likely it will take a few days at least since there was more work to be done than I thought. I'm trying to finish it within the month, but chances are that the project will be delay until the first days of December. Not apocalyptic, but still awkward :/
And a more proper description of circumstances as of now will be provided in the next update tomorrow-ish...
Greetings, everyone.
Yet another week passed, and not much more things happened.
As you can probably see from the previous rant post, I've unknowingly used a copyrighted track in one of my animations according to YouTube ; it will be fixed soon.
As for YouTube itself, I've decided to transform the video dump I had into a channel actually meant to show things to people. Playlists of my videos are arranged, and the header changed into something I think looks cooler. Eleven subscribers are reached already. My imaginary rainbow Fedora tips to all of them, and I hope the whole YouTube gig will actually get me somewhere awesome.
As for the projects, more progress is made as always. And just as planned, I still aim to release the next Dokuroshima installment this month.
P.S. If you're interested, you can see the said YouTube channel through this link:

Greetings, everyone.
I'll just cut it short: I stepped on a copyright claim on YouTube.
Let me explain the situation. I made a flash movie, and I used no other music than whatever I found on the Audio Portal. I had no idea the tune was copyrighted, and guess what? I see the video being flagged (or whatever it is when you still got the video up and it's monetized in the copyright owner's favor).
I do not blame the owner since it's his tune (as I found out later) , nor do I blame the moderators since they have done their job by finally taking the track off the Audio Portal. Sure, I may be to blame since I did not check if the tune is copyrighted before downloading from Newgrounds, but why do I have to do that when it's clearly said in the upload screen that the tunes themselves are supposed to be made by the uploaders?
Not only the situation for animators on YouTube is hard enough in general, it only takes three copyright strikes to have your channel taken down (and I had been contemplating quite the plans for mine, where I just recently started to put some effort in maintenance). And then there's this prick who comes to Newgrounds, jumps to the Audio Portal to upload stuff ripped off the Web. And then some unlucky author decides to unknowingly use the tune just to step on a copyright claim, only because some asshole though NG Audio Portal was an mp3 dump where you can store your personal copy of Metalocalypse soundtrack. Lemme give you a hint: it isn't.
If you try to find a way to watch the stuff you can't afford to watch or play, that might be questionably fine. After all, that is one of the reasons why Pirate political parties even exist. But if you downright steal content by slapping your name on it (and that's practically it when you upload third party content where it is assumed on the upload screen that the uploader is the author), then go fuck yourself.
P.S. If you're wondering, it all comes down from Randomness-4-Real on YouTube where it received a copyright claim. I may have to replace the music and reupload the video.
Greetings everyone.
Not much to say as of now, and I think I'd start with something more significant.
Many have kicked it off on Halloween, and so did I with Facadeness: Melonation. It's another Madness short, this time starring my new OC, Ash Thompson, who just happens to be a widely known robber in Nevada. Also it obviously has the Façade game as the location.
And now that I finally got that out of the way, I have one less thing to distract me from Dokuroshima development. New scenes are drafted, some even finished, as always. Another piece of soundtrack is also contemplated, and I might even post up an early version of it. If I feel like it that is...
Apart from that, next year (long after the current part of Dokuroshima is complete) , me and one of my supposed comrades, Momoiro-kun (with whom I worked on "Taco Tuesday MLG" as a background artist earlier), plan to make yet another interactive flash. As you may think, yes, it will contain pr0nographic crap, however, this time, more focus will be on the storyline and teh horror/thriller elements. Currently, we cannot tell jack shit about the project, but if there's one thing I can tell so far, this will be among the most edgy things we ever worked on.
So, that is it for now...
See you next Sunday, and happy Halloween.
If you don't like happy Halloween, then happy holidays, and if you don't like happy holidays, then happy Shut-the-fuck-up...
Greetings, everyone.
Less than a week left until another month ends. I've been having thoughts about events correlating with the time period, but I'll get to that later.
Not much to say about Dokuroshima. As always, more progress is made, and as I said earlier, I thought about making my own original soundtrack for it; If I finish the animation too late to come up with the music, or if the music is made but it sounds like shit, I'll just use something from the Audio Portal to avoid yet another delay. I think the development hell for this project, a.k.a. most of 2015, was enough.
As for the Halloween short, I went further on in as well. In fact, it is possible to have it completed in a day or two, however I think it still gonna be on Newgrounds on Halloween. I might have it up early on YouTube though since I've been thinking about actually doing something with the channel instead of it just being a video dump. Perhaps earlier release will be a nice little experiment, but that's just my opinion.
And now for a random piece of text.
So you still haven't forgot about what I said about my time/event correlation hypothesis. Yes, I do realize events actually depend on actions and circumstances, and not time periods.
Why did I come up with the crap? I was bored. You know, the same reason for the existence of roughly 80% of creepypastas. If you prefer things that make logical sense, you may skip it.
And the hypothesis goes lime this: Even years (2010, 2012, 2014, etc.) are the active years, while the Odd years (2011, 2013, 2015, etc.) are the passive ones. What does that mean? Well, the active ones are the years that are eventful and you actually need to react in order to avoid some things while achieving other ones. Whilst the passive years are the years of growth, when you grow and recharge before you act much further. Also, it depends on the person which years are active, so events for people on odd years don't topple the hypothesis.
Anyhoe, I hope this new text addition to the log doesn't stick out like an unnecessary text tumor and actually makes it better.
So, see you next weekend, mah guest... *flies back into darkness*
Due to unforseen circumstances, the trailer for the next Dokuroshima installment has to be delayed by a day or two. And because I wanted to do the log update with the trailer, the log is also delayed.
I will be back here as soon as the trailer is done.
