Whipped up a quick Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen spoof after me a bunch'a friends wasted our money on the flick a couple weeks back. Thanks all of my VAs and special guests for bein' part! My friends and I enjoyed this silly thing and I figured it'd push some hits to NG, though I was annoyed I couldn't get it done sooner since obviously the movie's been out for almost a month by this point.
Work at EduWare's been heavy lately, which is a good thing on my part since it means more work for me! Things're startin' to turn around for my financial situation.

Speaking of EduWare though, suddenly I find myself working on ANOTHER flash game! While reaching the end of all my recent projects at the company, I approached the boss about a new game concept. Remember all of those ol' educational games involving your favorite video game characters having to answer questions you'd find on a test in school? Yeah we're doin' one of those, in a way. Basically we're creating a platformer using some of the EduWare characters, where they navigate their way through a stage and must answer questions to progress forward. It's been fun doing a lotta character animation and soon I'll be designing levels, which I haven't done since I was a kid dreaming of making platformers.
It's great prep for our Po3 game, as well. I just finished recording the star of our game last night, all of the lines for the in-game dialogie and the cutscenes. For as simplistic as the concept is I managed to work what I feel are some really fun and interesting characters that have some reasonable development throughout the length of the game. I got storyboards to do for the cutscenes and hopefully soon some more sprites as well.
No rest for the weary, even now I got more shots to color for the indie film project I'm on-board for. I've got audio to cut together and storyboards to draw up for other secret projects in the works (of which are of a MUCH grander scale than the Transformers flash) all while still working on two games and more cels to color. Oi-vey. Can't complain though, I'm always glad to be productive. Wish I had the time to be working on the next part of the Rangers Movie, but it can wait. This is stuff I think is really worth appreciating.

ALSO! You guys like Over 9000! right? Course you do. The creator of this internet meme explosion, Kajetokun, is in fact far more than just a video editor. He's a DAMN good musical composer as well! I recently convinced him to get a profile on NG so he could submit his stuff online, so you guys should check out his music! Particularly if you guys love the feel of ol' Super Nintendo style music, which I'm big into, his tracks are absolutely addicting. Hijack Train Hero and the battle themes I could listen to for forever. He's a pretty cool guy, so be supportive of Kajet and give his tracks a listen :]
