Guess I'm the April Fool.

Posted by Kirbopher - April 3rd, 2011


Okay so I think I got my hopes up a little bit too high for 2011.

I went in being all like YEAH THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME THIS IS MY YEAR YEAH TOTALLY COOL and it's...not really turning out that way. At least not yet. I feel like if I can stick it out for just one more month, I can make it. The Dusty is coming up soon, "Balancing Act" is done and I just need to finish up April and then I just gotta hope that things will start to turn around with the release of my film.

Surprisingly, my Newgrounds love hasn't been neglected as of late. I have a few things in the works over the next month to keep me busy. With the start of the month, I've held my tradition of doing an April Fools flash movie in the form of Turbo: A Parody Rangers Flash Movie. Due to a very short amount of time I had to make this, it's very shoddily put together, but I'm glad I at least got it outta me. I planned it for a very long time and teased about it in "Kirb Stomp". Special thanks to all of the cast for coming back again for this quick bit. I've also got a typography animation I can hopefully do in this next week or so, plus maybe another little thing for LittleKuriboh. Then, if a certain someone finishes cutting together a song I'm working on with some friends, maybe even a new music video by the time I graduate. We shall see.

I've also been doing a lot of voice-related stuff lately, which has been pretty fun. Mostly auditions for things, but a few projects I've been lucky enough to be cast in. One of these is being released right now, which I'm very honored to be a part of. Rhete has been working on an incredible 2-D shooting platformer game called "Hunters: Relic of Stars" that I voice a very cool character in. As of now, he hasn't shown up yet, but you can hear him in the game's kickass trailer.

The first few stages are released, so give 'em a go and I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Rhete did an outstanding job on the programming, making a truly fun old-school game that lovers of stuff like Metroid and Contra will really get a kick out of. Major props to D-Mac for the great casting and directing too. There's some wonderful voicework in there, not to mention AMAZING choices of music from the Audio Portal.

Thought I'd have more to talk about, but I guess not. Hopefully I'll have more blog posts this month though, I've been wiring down to only one a month lately and that's no good. Look forward to more!

A lot to read :U Dont bother with plans. Nothing ever goes as planned. Ever. Just go with the flow :P

Played a bit of that game at work the other day, I like the way it feels and seamlessly goes from game play to story and back, but the art direction (or lack there of) spoils anything positive I have to say, and the lack of diversity in the environments is a shame. Would have been better if they got a decent artist on board.

Had I known of the game's development early on, I actually would've offered to re-do the artwork myself. Even so, the fact that this guy practically single-handedly made a 2D platforming game on his own is a real testament to his ability. I personally don't hold it against him that his ability to draw isn't up to snuff, the game's just damn fun regardless.

i like metroid. but i wouldn't if it looked or sounded like that.

I played the first stage and its cool since I like both Contra and Metroid. (who hasn't?)

not to sound like a noob or a troll OR a bitch, will there be another brawl taunts?

Nope.

if I had an unoriginal idea that was popular, I'd milk it for all its worth

YOUR VOICE WORK SUCK DICK
-PEACE

whats your next project? Are you going to do a series like your early work?

It was a shame that you were only in the game for one stage. But, hell, I know you'll do more projects in the future ;) You did a good job doing the final boss. He was pretty hard too.

What is the name of this music I CANT FIND IT
