well, i'm officially leaving for western australia in two and a half weeks, on the 18th of september!

I won't leave you all high and dry though. I'm going to be working hard with Moonkey to release the final web-wide demo of Brotherhood of Battle, as well as the promo animation. I'll also hopefuly have a short film or two uploaded somewhere before i leave.

FAQ:
YES i will be coming back to newgrounds after two years
NO i will not be on MSN or checking emails/replying to pm's or updating stuff
YES i live wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men

so, you'll see more of me within the next two weeks before i'm gone!

any questions while you have me, shoot em out

Well newgrounds, it's been a crazy run, but it's time i take a break!

I Got my Missionary Service call yesterday! :D
I'm going to be serving in the Australia Perth Mission, and i can't wait!

I'll post in the next 5 weeks and have the demo version of Brotherhood of Battle out, and also my two short films will be uploaded somewhere too. Then i'll post one lasy goodbye, or rather 'Smell Ya Later'!

Any questions?
Anyone gonna miss me?
Anyone even read this? lol jk

i heart you newgrounds

for no reason other then to get rid of that post spamming my trance song, i'm giving an update:

Brotherhood of Battle:
is pretty much finished, it's on xgenstudios, PLAY IT HERE. Moonkey and i are finishing a demo version to upload everywhere including here. it'll be the same game just less gametypes and maps, and no editor or game points.

Short Films:
Yes i'm finishing them, i seem to never get the time but they're nearly done. one is called 'the Find' the other 'Continuance'. Frankly i dont like either of them because i didnt get the creative control i would have liked, plus i had no access to good actors and stuff... otherwise they'll be watchable hopefuly

My Mission:
Ye's i'm still going, my papers have been in for over 3 weeks now so i'm just waiting for my call. It'll come in the mail very soon, and as soon as i find out where i'm going i'll post on here.

Have a lovely life!

I'm usually a classical composer type, even my vocal originals have a much more classical new-agey feel to them...

well i jumped out of my comfort zone and decided to much around with trance.

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

again it's my first so be nice. i'd love to hear what you think and any ideas/suggestions would be great...

and yeah, i had lots of fun making it! i might even make more!

YAAAAAAAY!!!

i just found last night blizzard releaseing their videos and stuff for the upcoming diablo 3, and DAMN it looks awesome!!!

just needed to post about it. i'm about to cry with joy! i mean, i've been a HUGE diablo fan since the dawn of... diablo. Anyone who has played either paladin the game or B.o.B know that its been one of the core inflouences every time i've made a game...

Just for the sake of it i uploaded a vid of me singing my song "There in Your Arms" (the one with Lisa Gerrard). I suppose you could call it promotional, even though it's completely informal lol (me wiping sweat and coughing and being a retard).

ALSO: feel free to add me on myspace :)

Well, have a nice day!

::::::::::::::::::::: EDIT:::::::::::::::::::::::::
the video should work now :P sorry about that

just popping in to let you know that Brotherhood of Battle (BoB, hehe) is on its way to public BETA. GO THANK MOONKEY for his hard work!

It's currently in private BETA and we're all having HEAPS of fun playing it. i'll admit, i'm addicted to my own game... *sigh* kinda sad too coz i have like, 160 game points which i have to lose when the game goes public :(

anyhow, my NEXT userpage post will be announcing the release of the public BETA. this means that the game is not 100% finished but we're gonna let everyone play it to tell us what bugs thay find and balance issues also...

Let me also just note that i have battled against crazy jay of stickpage/flashportal, and Krinn of sonny and sinjid... AND PWN THEM BOTH!

>:D

especially jay...

anyhow, sit tight, i cant give specific times but i can say it's less then a year... lol... a lot less?? just stay tuned.

the image below is one of the funniest things that has happened in a game yet... i was rubbing my victory in Jay's face by stealthing 8 rogues around his fortress, so that when he recruits a unit (he had none left) they would all appear randomly... well the really funny part is he recruited a mage and without knowing they were there did the shockwave spell (intending to only hit the 2 rangers) and all of a sudden 10 people were blasted back lol!!... it looked totally awesome.... i'll hush now...
