November Update
Added 2015-11-24 20:56:49 +0000 UTCNormally I put my updates at the end of the month, usually the last day, but since Thanksgiving (for those who participate in it) is only a couple days away, I figure I'll just let you know what's happening a little earlier than usual. Right now I'm working on another very big flash project. I've actually been working on it alongside the Ponka one from last month, and I hope to get it finished before the year ends. I want to keep it mostly a surprise, but it's a collaboration with another person I've never worked with before.
PONYVANIA
People ask me about this project pretty frequent, wondering when the next update will be. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be continuing this project as is. I recently found out that atryl either lost interest in the flash at some point, or considered the project to be low priority compared to his other work. Completely understandable, if you're not interested in something it can be very difficult to generate the creativity and inspiration required to do something. It's art, not data-entry, you can't force it. I'm also not really satisfied with the project in its current state, the art-style is a mess and the animation could be better. If I continue the project, I'll most likely restart from scratch, using the previous scenes as 'references'. Bottom line: whether or not I make this project will really rely on if I can find someone who is interested in working with me on it.
CLOPTOPIA
I like how the game plays and it's a good base concept so far, but I want to overhaul the theme and make the adult content more involved. This is something I need to plan out carefully and do in one big update rather than a few mini-updates, which is partially why I haven't updated the game a lot recently - the other reason is that I wanted to do a few of my standard flash animations to keep things fresh. Based on feedback I've recieved, I think I'll be moving in a direction that everyone will enjoy. Changing the theme into something more sexy is a major priority, moving away from 'your town must survive against changelings' and more towards 'build a profitable, lewd district' or something of that nature. I want to put more focus on individual characters too, so rather than just your entire town being happy or not, you'd be more focused on a select few individuals.
THREE CURIOUS PONIES REMAKE
I originally made it a very high goal on patreon because I didn't expect it to come up very soon, but it got relatively close to that goal earlier this year so I started giving it some thought. Technically it never actually met the goal so there's no rush, but I definitely want to some day. Either way, I don't think I'll be able to handle a project this big anytime soon. Similar to the Ponyvania project, finding someone to collab with is the major deciding factor for whether or not I can make something so grandiose a reality.
MUSIC
I haven't been working on music a whole lot lately, mostly due to being fairly uninspired, but I have been thinking about making an album at some point. Here's a silly WIP remix of Bonetrousel that me and Suddensharpintakeofbreath are doinghttps://db.tt/XUUxaCoe
Well that's about all I have to say for now. Thanks again for everything~
