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.

I hate people who use the word "cringe" as an insult to someone's work if it's just bad or lacking. Mainly because the kind of people who use it normally have never seen true "Cringe" in their lives...unless they look in a mirror.

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...

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...

So, it's been a good while since I did anything here. Here's a music track I finished today that I might maybe use in X-Tra Dimension...

 Just moved in to my new house, my own property. There is still a lot reinivation to do, but I am already pushing the equity on this place like crazy. Not a lot of people can say they own their own house, land, and car at 24!  I also got a raise with one of my clients, which is great.  Despite the rough and busy transition, I have been able to get my important school work finished. I just might be able to keep on the Dean's list, which is awesome. I plan to build a studio outback for my art, music, and maybe even start voice acting this late spring! Come Later November though, I will have a lot more time to finish things on the site. I have a ton of ideas for things you all might like. I also have some recruiting to do. As for now I am going to update the RP's, freshen some threads, and prepare for a new Newsletter. Keep creating Freedom Fighters! 

Sorry I haven't been here in a while. School's been just the worst for me, and development for X-Tra Dimension has been pretty slow, mainly due to the lack of interest around the project...

Hey, sorry I haven't discussed X-tra Dimenstion this past week.  You still want to discuss ideas?

came across an old GIF test of a run cycle I did for a game idea I keep kicking around from time to time, decided I might as well change my profile pic for a while (until I decide to go back to the old one at some point)

If we want to discuss ideas for your game, I will keep it in the forum post you started so that anybody can see the activity and lend a hand if needed.  Just keep an eye on the forum.

I'm still wondering how everyone felt about X-Tra Dimension...
