Greetings once again, everyone.

Nothing significant about Dokuroshima yet, ever since the last update where I've included the link to a preview of a part of the upcoming episode.

Progress with Mad Monitor pretty much stood in place because of a bunch of reasons, main of which is that I rarely get to be alone in the flat, and I can't bring myself to record my own voice otherwise. Not to mention that I never did that with current equipment yet, so recording tests would be necessary.

Also, alongside the main projects, I've decided to make some additional regular stuff. You might already know about the monthly shorts (which I won't be able to do this month). But now, on top of that, there is going to be a weekly webcomic, hosted on Deviantart and, perhaps, Newgrounds.

The webcomic is called "West Challenger vs. the World" that is a prequel spin-off of Dokuroshima, featuring West Challenger as the protagonist.
Currently, the comic itself already has a "pilot" strip, and you can see in the link below:

In fact, I thought it would be a better idea to have this log and the comic come out on the same day at the same time.

Well, that's it for this week...

Greetings, everyone.

It's been far too long IMO, but I've finally done the first preview of Dokuroshima Ep. 1 Pt. 3.
Of course, it's not "completed" in a few points still...

The episode itself will not be action-driven like Part 2, while its main purpose is closer to estabilishing the plot.

The preview itself is available here:

Dear Princess Lu-

Dammit...

...I mean, greetings everyone.

Unfortunately, Real Life kicking me in the nuts all the time (figuratively), along with a little OSRS (Old School Runescape) addiction don't contribute to the workflow very well as I am STILL struggling with the preview, which only has literally a few scenes and the audio left to do. Speaking of which, considering that I've mentioned the preview many times so far, I may as well make it available for everyone to see. Of course, I decided not to put "Test animations" and previews on Newgrounds (unless it's Dumping Grounds), which means the preview will be released on YouTube.

That is what happening to Dokuroshima project as of right now.

As for anything else, I also have an idea for a review show of my own. It's not LP series, nor will it be reaction videos, but actual reviews made by myself. Inspired by AVGN and Mysterious Mr. Enter. And, once again, it would be released on YouTube. I decided to call it "Mad Monitor". What will be reviewed? The so called "Fanimes", which are anime-esque amateur animations found throughout YouTube (as well as the rest of the Internet), and the focus will be on crappy ones like "Sakura Ai", which I'll review in the pilot episode. I just think it's old and "famous" enough to get my review, which means there would be some kind of "standards" on the show. (Considering that people have reviewed things like Sonichu, I don't really think I'd need to worry about quality standards...)

The writing part for the pilot is already done, as well as the logo. And now to figure out how to not fail the voice recording part, as well as everything else...

So, that's pretty much it for now...

P.S.

I've also done a new illustration/art :D

(...This awkward moment when Old School Runescape ended up being much more addicting than expected...)

Erm...

Anyways, greetings as always, everyone.

As of this week, at first it seems that not much have happened, expect for me making progress in projects that I work on. Insider preview is still in the works, so I am still the only one who literally saw the project so far.

However, there have been a few other things.

First of all, I've waddled around the oldest content of Newgrounds just for nostalgy and I've got an idea, so I wanted to make a collab. Sadly, I had little to no idea what "Batting Average" is in context of Newgrounds. I asked on the Help Forums, but the only answer I got said that it's an average score of ALL my projects (instead of the best 3 of my projects, in which case I would qualify), which meant that I didn't qualify to organize collabs.

And the collab itself would be about various users murdering Caillou in various ways and styles (yes, the whiny Charlie Brown ripoff).

Second, I've made yet another "musical" experiment, which you can see right here:

The experiment was about using voice fragments in Milkytracker as "Instruments".

So, that is it for now, I guess...

Hmm... Insufficient beauty"

Yup, still working on Dokuroshima.
Eventually I may come up with the first insider preview (intended just for ppl who work on this project).
Also fleshing out ideas on how to continue Randomness Minus (which is not only about training of characters, but that's what at least one more episode will be about).

Also, I'm thinking about Randomness 5, but that will happen waay later this year (one thing for sure is that R5 will be longer than R4). As for now, this is pretty much it...

Greetings everyone.

As you can see, I've decided to write the post names differently, since Dokuroshima is not the only thing I write about in here, obviously.

Speaking of which, I did not do much significant progress in the project this time, mostly because I decided to focus on the little movie made mo somehow mark the 50 Fan milestone instead.
The movie is supposed to be one of the prequels to the "Randomness" series. You can see it on the link below:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/653640

Possibly it will be continued in a prequel spin-off series known as "Randomness Minus", but now that this little movie is done, I've decided to get back to working on Dokuroshima.

Dokuroshima Ep1Pt3 progress #03: Going steady so far

Greetings, everyone.

As I've promised, I decided to write weekly about the progress from now on each Friday to Saturday night by east European time, which is probably daytime in the US, if not morning.

Anyhoe, the progress had been going slowly, but steadily so far. The scenes were separated into several parts for easier development (Not to worry, it's still going to be submitted as one single thing). About a dozen of scenes are drafted, and a few scenes completed already. Overall, there's still a long way to go with Dokuroshima, but at least I am going somewhere with it...

Besides Dokuroshima, I've been writing down a bunch of ideas that popped up in my head, and I think even if they won't be implemented into the main project, they would probably be used in other of my possible future works. For quite a few reasons of my own, I've decided to do monthly submissions on NG. And because of the said reasons, especially because I've hit 50 fans on Newgrounds recently, you may expect something fairly simple yet entertaining coming out from me this month :D.

Also, the weekly writing only goes for the progress, which means that if I think of something significant enough to write on any day besides Friday, it will be written ASAP. Except for things that actually happen on Friday of course...
