Damn... it's been WAY too long since I posted around here, and I'm not even sure if I'll be as active as I used to in the future, so I'll just lay down what's been going on in recent times.
1: The Game.
Progress of the game has seen a MAJOR uplift over the past year or so. The story's been changed around quite significantly. I have a basic outline of almost all the events I want to have in the game, and I'm set to rewriting the dialogue and synopsis from scratch once again, along with a few friends of mine helping me with co-writing the whole thing. During that time, I've also assembled an entire team of artists, programmers, and musicians, including myself, for us to make this game happen, thanks to my ever growing connections with people throughout the years. With the story mostly finalized, and a full team assembled, if I play my cards right, we may have an actual demo for X-Tra Dimension available around 2019 or so...
2: My career paths...
After heavily improving my composition skills over the course of a year and a half, I'm more or less wanting to take music as my career path in life, outside of the game. I've recently been starting to take commissions for original compositions for several people, such as Sr. Pelo and FTCR, among others. I feel that with the success I've been having with the music I make, I feel it'd be wise to take a career path towards that, as it's something I REALLY enjoy doing.
That's basically all I've really got to share. Sorry about the lack of posts for a good year or so. So many things have changed for me since late-2017, so I hope you all understand.

Jeez, it's been a while since I've been around here...

Been thinking about talking about opening up help to make an animated prologue for X-Tra Dimension, but I'm not sure where to start up a new thread for it...

Things about Saturday Morning Cartoons you remember

Pretty much. Back when those two shows were actually okay... -

@TheRedStranger A lot of it is Nickelodeon related from the early-mid 2000s, so IDK what to say... -
Hey everyone. Sorry I've been away for the last month or so. Lots of major changes have been going on for X-Tra Dimension lately. First of all, the game's gonna be switching engines from GameMaker to Clickteam Fusion, since a programmer I'm friends with atm is good with it. Secondly, the soundtrack. Not only did I find a programmer to help me, but multiple composers to help me out with things as well. Other than that, been busy with character art (still looking for help on that btw), and I'm thinking of making some alterations to the synopsis I posted here...

@TheRedStranger Of course, I'm best with character art, and not everything else, so assistance in the art department would be nice...

I would recommend start sketching landscapes and some stuff from real life at least every other day then to start balancing things out. The more stuff you internalize and practice drawing in real life, the more you have as reference to stylize. We actually of a thread the the Artist Atlier to post practice sketches if you would like. Alternate days - draw something from life and draw something just purely out of imaginative fun. Eventually you will start to get more artistic awareness and ability to synthesize real subjects in the style relevant to your work.

TBH... not sure...

Finally got my first set of talksprites done, thanks to a guy I know from Starmen.net.

New track. Not sure if I'll include this in the demo or not. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5j7e2rds3pve1ne/X-Tra Dimension - Short Battle.mp3?dl=0 If anyone's familiar with a fangame called "Mario Forever", you might recognize some samples I used here... (I say that as I'm in a Sonic forum :P)

Aaaand Miki's expressions are finally done. For now, at least. Tried my very best to make her as adorable as I can with each one. No wonder it took me a month to finish...
-
Thanks for that extra thing for coding. I'm not entirely sure if it applies to the GameMaker language, but I'll give it a shot if anything needs tweaking. As for the RP thing, I dunno, it just didn't really seem like my thing after thinking about it for a while...

SallyAcornLover says Hi to everyone. :-)
jcbluejr01 replied to SallyAcornLover's topic in Meet, Greet, and Go.
@SallyAcornLover The 90s Nick thing is related to Nickelodeon, and it's bumpers are those little commercials self promoting the channel in a variety of ways. I just happen to be an expert on those, even going as far as creating a bit of my own about a year ago... If you wanna know more about X-Tra Dimension, the biggest topic's right here: -
Figured I'd update this topic a little bit with a few pieces of concept art I've been drawing in the last few months. Some of these are still incomplete, btw.
-
So, since I've been given the suggestion before, yet nobody's really made a topic here, as well as all the positive reception I've been getting of some of the tracks I've posted, I guess I'll be the first. This'll mainly be the place where I get to share anything for the soundtrack for the game (W.I.P stuff, test tracks, completed songs, etc.), as well as any other original works if I'm feeling up to it. This'll also be the place if anyone wants to share any songs they wanna do for the game as well, if they're up for that, of course. I'm looking forward to what we'll see here in the future. -jcbluejr01
