I kind of promised myself I wouldn't post back here until I had something to show, but things haven't been moving fast as I'd like, and here's why -
Family and circumstance has been keeping me occupied, and a lot of it isn't good news, which I don't really need to talk about here. But basically my current priorities are helping get this company off the ground. blackspherestudios.com/
Exetype is still in development, but given our current budget and manpower, it's an unrealistic goal, so therefore in the interrim I am working on a much less involved project to generate revenue. Firstly we'll be making a small puzzle game, and then shifting focus to a game set in the same world as Exetype. I will reveal more details about this game when I have more to show, but it's not a fighter - it's something everyone should be able to pick up and play and have fun with, so it'll serve as a much better introduction to the setting.
But yeah, just letting everyone know I'm not dead and stuff. Have a robot puppy with a gun, and yes you will see more of this guy and his friends later.

Not dead
Hello everyone. It's been something like two years. I wanted to avoid attention, but I feel a bit guilty just disappearing like that.I wish to apologize for everyone who might have thought I'd gone, or anyone I've let down, old friends I haven't kept in touch with, and promises I never saw through.I'm taking a long hiatus from DA and projects in general, at least until I find the direction I'm looking for. I don't feel too comfortable with my image and this persona I've created here. I no longer feel like it embodies my current state or ideals. I have fond memories, but I wish to start again with a clean slate.I'll be back when I actually ...
Still here
Once again, another once-in-a-millenium update.Just letting everyone know I'm still ok and I'm still working on Exetype, but recently there has just been one distraction after another and development is very slow, like on-hiatus at the moment level slow. Much of this is due to hardware issues on my part (still looking at upgrading my kit/learning Animate pro) and me being really indecisive about what I want to do with my unfortunately limited time.I'll update as soon as possible, and I was kind of hoping to have some more to show by now, but sadly there are a few things we need to sort out first as a team before any further work can be don...
Fun fact about Exetype
According to math and science, given my current goals and standards for this project...if I had 14 characters each with 1000 frames of total animation, and I churned out 16 frames per hour working 24 hours a day (hahahaha) it would take me something like 2 years to get it finished on my own.:)This is where I start thinking about learning 3D animation and rotoscoping...Recent 2D fighters have been using this technique more commonly, starting out with the animations done with simplified 3D models, then drawing over them as sprites. Blazblue did this as did the more recent King of Fighters games. This tends to streamline the workflow and hel...
23!
Wow I'm 23 years old and I haven't completed anything major since Dendyn Dynasties. Dunno how I feel about that, but thank you all for supporting me this whole time. ;)Right now, as you probably noticed I am still on drawing hiatus, but I'm around and I will return to DA and become more active eventually. I still have very fond memories of this community and such. Considering moving to a new more professional account though, because I am a neat freak.Exetype progress is also on hold for a little while as the main programmer is busy with other things. During this time, I'm going to attempt to get as many rough animations done as possible wh...
