Dragonsoft Studios Site History --------------------------------------------------- Site Version 2 - 01/01/2011 to 03/26/2011 --------------------------------------------------- ------------------ :: January 2011 :: ------------------ 01/01/2011 - Happy New Year's from Dragonsoft Studios! As the new year starts, so too will my channel be back to work fairly soon. Secret of Mana is currently in progress. I do have some extra material I'm working on for the first few vids though, so just be patient with me. I can't guarantee that I'll have something ready for Saturday night / Sunday morning, but I'm going to try my best. I at the very least feel confident enough to say that things will start up again within the first week of January. My December break... wow. To be honest, I don't really feel like I took one o.o; As stressful as things were with all the hospital situations, I almost feel like getting back to work will be my break... yeah. To those who have still been asking about the MMBN2 extras, please don't ask about them. They will be done when they're done, and that's really the best answer I can give on them. I had every intention of working on them during the break, and then my aunt had to go to the hospital, and things went downhill from there. If I can get enough of a buffer going with Secret of Mana, I'll try to put in some work on them, and if I somehow still haven't finished them by the end of SoM, then I'll concentrate on them at that point to get them finished up. So with that, on to the actual site updates! - Obviously, the main page has been cleaned up. Updates from the fourth quarter of 2010 have been stored in the Archives. - The Projects list has indeed been updated to show that yes, Secret of Mana is in progress. - 52 new images have been added to the Fan Art gallery. My thanks to everyone who sent in work. - Finally, the Library has been updated, both with a few more games in the "Games I'd Like to Play" list, but also, a bit of an odd one... Unlike last time when "MrNobody" actually did turn out to be someone and not an anonymous, this time, I was sent a game that had no real confirmation of where it came from o.o; This one actually came from a company that seems to send used games in the mail or something, but whatever the case, I seem to have a copy of Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem. If you sent this and I just forgot someone mentioning doing this, my apologies, and please contact me to let me know o.o; With how everything has been going lately, I don't trust my memory. 01/02/2011 - Well then.... mystery solved! A brief excerpt from a Skype call among my friends : Kit : So you still don't know who sent you about $100 worth of games? Roahm : Oh yeah, that was a bit silly. The return address for the Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 package said "MrNobody," so I thought it was someone who wanted to remain anonymous. Then looking back over my YouTube messages, I saw it really WAS someone who had the name MrNobody. Shagg : Ha, that is pretty funny. Roahm : Now the one I DON'T know where it came from was Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem. That one just seemed to be addressed from a company that sends used games or something. Shagg : THAT WAS DELIVERED?! THANKS FOR TELLING ME, AMAZON! Much laughter was had ^_^; 01/03/2011 - ...zzzzzzzzzzzz........ zzzzzzzzzzzzz...... wha...? Oh, right. I went out today to get my Shiny Raikou, and while I was there, since I had some gift cards, I picked up copies of No More Heroes 2 and Monster Hunter Tri. Also, a new image has been added to my main art gallery, under the video stuff section. Yeaaah, that last live broadcast was something else.... .....zzzzzzzzzzz..... 01/08/2011 - So hey, Secret of Mana is finally, really in progress! No uploads tonight though of course due to site updates. That's likely to be the upload schedule : two new videos a night, so long as I have new videos, except for Friday night / Saturday morning so I can do site updates. So as for tonight, 48 new images have been uploaded to the Fan Art gallery! Thank you to everyone who submitted new work. UPDATE : Make that 49. I totally spaced and misplaced an image on my system. One new image was added from JokerTH08. 01/15/2011 - It seems people are enjoying the Secret of Mana project thus far, which makes me quite happy. It's been a lot of fun getting back into this game. For tonight though, it's time to update the site. First of all, 41 new images have been added to the Fan Art Gallery, my thanks to everyone who sent these in! My thanks also to ZacEXE3 for sending me copies of Resident Evil : The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles, and also a copy of Final Fantasy 9, which I had regretted selling off long ago. In accordance, the Library has been updated. 01/22/2011 - Whew, been quite a busy day! Earlier today, in addition to getting a bit more of Secret of Mana recorded, I managed to fully beat Super Mario Galaxy 2. So many shiny stars! +.+ 56 new images have been added to the Fan Art gallery. As ever, my thanks to everyone for sending in new work. A good number of images have also been added to the Video Stuff and Miscellaneous folders in my own Gallery. Also, a bit of an update to the Library. I haven't actually received any of them yet, but I was able to order a few games from Amazon. Thus, coming soon, I shall have Dynasty Warriors 2, Samurai Warriors 2 : Empires, and at long last, Silent Hill : Shattered Memories. 01/29/2011 - Whew... A bit late on finishing the updates tonight, but here they are. I've been feeling a bit off and on sick over the last two days. How this affects recording schedules, I suppose remains to be seen. I do at least have a few more videos to go though before I run out of footage for now. Over the past week, I did get the games I ordered, so I've been enjoying those. Meanwhile, 51 new images have been added to the Fan Art gallery. ------------------- :: February 2011 :: ------------------- 02/05/2011 - A little strange to think I'll be hitting 30 years old over the course of next week... o.o; It's been a rather busy week as well. In addition to having gone to two Pokémon events in the area, I've also been keeping up with Secret of Mana, and have also gotten into playing Resident Evil : The Umbrella Chronicles. I can't say I'm great at rail shooters, but the game is still quite fun... though the freaking Crimson Heads..... anyway... - 48 new images have been added to the Fan Art Gallery. - Thanks to beedolphin, I now have Megaman Starforce 3 : Red Joker, so this has been added in the Library. - I've recently started up an artist thread over at the Pink Rose Garden, so with that, I've been adding more pictures to my own Gallery for use there. 02/12/2011 - Huzzah, the dragon is 30! Amazing! For my birthday, I got some rather nice things, including a new, comfy computer chair (far better than the old one I had), reservations for Pokémon Black and White versions, and... MY OWN XBOX 360! Sadly, HughesNet evidently doesn't play well at all with XBox Live, meaning I can't even get into the marketplace to get downloadable content. Why they designed the Marketplace that way, I'll never know. Bash Nintendo's online capabilities all you want, but I can still download things via HughesNet... Still, having my own 360 means more games I could potentially LP, and it makes an eventual LP of Silent Hill Homecoming far more viable. There is one rather important announcement regarding the site that I need to make, however. I'm going to be getting a little more strict on the Fan Art Gallery. Things have gotten a bit out of hand with it, to the point where out of maybe 50 ~ 60 pieces per week, maybe 10 ~ 15 actually had something to do with me and my work. This really isn't a vanity thing, but simply fact, not every piece of art out there is fan art meant for me. Updated this week, 23 new images have been submitted to the Fan Art Gallery. I've also tried to streamline the rules on the main page of the gallery, so hopefully it's a bit more clear and concise now. With my own 360, I've updated the Projects list to remove any doubt from any future plans involving the system. Also, the Library has been updated with a couple of new donations : a Gamestop gift card from KamenRiderXDS, and a copy of Super Meat Boy donated by Pink! Thank you very much! 02/19/2011 - Secret of Mana is coming close to an end. Only a few things left to do on this one. I'm rather happy with how this project turned out, and I quite enjoyed going through this game again. As for updates, 13 new images have been added to the Fan Art gallery. My thanks to those who sent in work! My thanks also to Kit for a package he sent, containing PokéPark Wii and Ratchet : Deadlocked, which have been added to the Library, as well as a couple of cute Yoshis! On the subject of Kit, I'd like to use this opportunity to do a bit of advertising for him. Over on the forums, he's been posting a Walfas comic he's been making, Kitventures in Gensokyoland. I'm actually helping with this as well, drawing a few items here and there for him that aren't in Walfas itself. Also uploading a Walfas comic is Shagg, so advertising for him as well! Huzzah! Go read his comic too, Superterranean Altruism. 02/26/2011 - Recording has been a little slow as of late. The main issue is I'm working on demoing all the magic from the game, but some of it is a bit tricky to find a good way to demo. Mostly, this would be Elise's buff magic, it's tricky to really find a good way to display some of it. However, it is coming together, albeit slowly. I'm hoping I can get the rest of it done within the coming week. You may ask why? Well, as longtime viewers know, I usually take short breaks between projects, and this time, it coincides fairly well with the release of Pokémon Black and White! I'm looking forward to taking a little time off to enjoy those. So on to updates, 11 new pieces have been added to the fan art gallery. As ever, my thanks to my viewers for sending these in. My thanks also to beedolphin, who sent me copies of Punch-Out!! and Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Wii. I myself also bought a couple of new games with some gift cards, resulting in my having Alan Wake and, at long last, the Orange Box for the 360, meaning I'm finally thinking with portals. The Library has thus been updated. I also added a few new Projects to the proper page, things that I'm not sure if I'll do, but are under consideration. ---------------- :: March 2011 :: ---------------- 03/05/2011 - One more day, one more day, one more day... Hm? Oh, sorry, I was busy anticipating the release of Black and White. As has been stated in a bit of oft-referenced fan art, come Sunday, I'M GOIN' TO GAMESTOP!! A little later tonight, I'll be posting a short announcement video. Long story short, I'm going to be on a bit of an extended quasi-break due to a lot of upcoming things, including wanting to enjoy Pokémon, and also an upcoming jury duty summons. However, it's not a FULL hiatus, as I will still be working on recording and editing, but actual videos might be a bit sporadic for the foreseeable future. As far as updates, 13 new images have been added to the Fan Art gallery. My thanks to everyone for sending it in! ......One more day, one more day, one more day... 03/12/2011 - Sheez, what a week this has been o.o;; The good! I got Pokémon Black and White, and have been enjoying it thoroughly. As soon as I finish updating here, I just might play a bit more. I'm currently at Victory Road. The bad! I am currently dealing with a cold. Wonderful. I'm the sort that doesn't really get sick often, but when it hits, it tends to bother me for a good bit. The good! I don't have to go in for jury duty. I called the confirmation number, and the recording said I was in the group that didn't have to come. Yay! It would have been nice to get whatever money I might have gotten for going, but going while miserable with a cold? Definitely not worth it. The bad! Being free from jury duty would have meant I might have gotten back to recording sooner, but yeah, cold. Not conducive to audio commentary, that. On to updates! Due to being on quasi-break, I updated the Projects page with more info about what's going on exactly. I also updated the Library page with my new Pokémon fix, I mean, games. Also, 12 new images have been added to the Fan Art gallery. Thank you as always, and now, back to Victory Road! 03/19/2011 - Ugh, the sick... Thankfully, it seems to be on the way out. The really annoying part is it screwed my voice to heck and back for the majority of the week. Thankfully, it seems to mostly be back to normal. If that remains true, perhaps I can get back to work fairly soon. Three new images have been added to the Fan Art gallery, so my thanks to those who have sent in work! For now though, back to trying to catch a good Bouffalant. Blasted things won't stay in the balls! 03/26/2011 - Hey, things are getting better! I actually managed to get some new videos up! Um.... progress?.. Yeah, I know, it's still slow going, but I am working on getting things done. I'm hoping to have the Secret of Mana extras done by the end of March, and then I hope to have the Battle Network 2 extras done by the end of April. Quite a good bit of work there to get it all done, but hopefully it will be manageable! Meanwhile, I've been continuing to train my first group of 5th gen Pokémon. I'm quite enjoying the games, and am looking forward to catching and training more. Nine new images have been added to the Fan Art gallery. Thanks to everyone who sent in work!
