Dragonsoft Studios Site History --------------------------------------------------- Site Version 2 - 01/31/2018 to 12/31/2018 --------------------------------------------------- ------------------ :: January 2018 :: ------------------ 01/31/2018 - So those hopes that 2018 was going to be better than 2017?..... Aheh heh heh.... o.o;; So my step-uncle is still in the hospital, as he has been since about midway through December. He was supposed to at the very least have been transferred to a nursing facility far closer to where we live by now, but various complications have kept him at the hospital. Thankfully he's not having the delusions he had been having at the worst points of all this, and he's been doing physical therapy at the hospital and sounding like he's doing great. However, one of his antibiotics was giving him kidney problems, so they're having to figure out which it is, and what to replace it with. In addition, my net is still broken. At this point, the only thing left to try replacing is the outdoor cables. It's either that or look into if there are any other internet options around here, which....... yeah, can't say I'm hopeful on that front o.o;; I'd really like to get back to work ~_~;; Christmas stuff has still been postponed, though my mum did give me one gift early as a "take your mind off the stress" kind of thing. I thus have been enjoying Yo-Kai Watch 2 : Psychic Specters. It's strange to think I'm also about ten days off from being 37. Old durgon is getting older. Before we get to actual updates, I want to give a special thanks to everyone who joined as new backers on Patreon. Everyone's continued support truly means a lot to me, and it is my most sincere hope that I can make it worth it once things finally settle down and I can get videos going again. So yes, updates : - Last year's updates have been compiled and placed in the Archive. - The Library has been updated with my acquisition of Yo-Kai Watch 2 : Psychic Specters, as well as a couple of reservations I have for Bayonetta 2 on Switch and the Detective Pikachu amiibo. Also a gift from my good friend Kit, a Disney Traditions Figment figure. Thank you very much! - The Fan Art gallery has been updated with 19 new images from Jon Causith. My thanks for the art, it is greatly appreciated! - The Patreon page has been updated with all the new backers and supporters. Thank you so much for the continued support, it truly means a lot to me! ------------------- :: February 2018 :: ------------------- 02/28/2018 - So happy birthday to me, it certainly seemed to come with good news! Swapping the outdoor cables seems to have indeed fixed up my net, and we're back to work on Mag Mammal 2 Blind. Woo! Progress! So yes, durgon is 37 now. Birthday stuff went pretty nicely, got a couple of Switch games, plus a few reservations on upcoming games, but most importantly overall, the net finally got fixed and I was able to get back to posting videos. Yay! Things with my step-uncle, he's currently in a nursing facility, though it's pretty much just across the street from the hospital he was in. There's not a lot of new information there unfortunately, though he has been seemingly feeling better overall. I think they've said he'll be in the nursing facility for at least 24 days, so it will probably still be awhile before he comes home. As far as site updates : - The Projects page is back on track now that we're able to resume Mag Mammal 2 Blind. - The Library has been updated with a few new amiibos I have accounted for, as well as games I got for my birthday. Also, Kit's donation of Celeste! - The Fan Art gallery has been updated with 10 new images from Jon Causith! - The Patreon page has been updated with all new backers. My thanks for your continued support! ---------------- :: March 2018 :: ---------------- 03/30/2018 - This has been... a difficult month to put it mildly. Those who have seen recent update videos on the channel know that recently, my step-uncle passed away due to complications from the various health problems he suffered from. It's been a difficult time for us, obviously, and so my mind and mood just haven't been in the right place to work on videos. I am however starting to feel better, so I am getting there, and I will be working on putting together the next Gag Reel video, so hopefully I'll be more in the right mindset soon to get back to work on Make a Good Mega Man Level 2. It's times like these where I am truly all the more grateful to have the understanding fanbase that I do, those that understand there is a human being on the other side of the internet that sometimes has to deal with real life. My most sincere thanks to everyone for their well-wishes and condolences. As far as site updates : - The Library has been updated with a few games and amiibos I had reserved that came in, notably Kirby Star Allies, Detective Pikachu and the related amiibo, and two more of the Monster Hunter Stories amiibos. - The Fan Art page has been updated with 28 new pieces of art. My sincere thanks to everyone who sent in new work. - The Patreon page has been updated with all new backers. I am eternally thankful for your continued support, and hope to make things worthwhile for you all. ---------------- :: April 2018 :: ---------------- 04/30/2018 - Whew, barely getting this update in in time for the month o.o; Things have been very stressful around here due to legal paperwork and procedures relating to my step-uncle's passing, figuring out heir-ship and such. Starting tomorrow is going to be something, we're quickly running out of vehicles we're legally allowed to drive. Thanks to recent laws, the only person who can take a vehicle in for safety inspection is the title holder, so until we can get the titles on two of our vehicles transferred to us, we can't drive them. Fun times. We still have one vehicle, but it's less than reliable. The stress has been sparking insomnia in me again, and making me feel pretty out of it, but I'm hoping things calm down so I can get back to work on Make a Good Mega Man Level 2. I'm at the top two now, I want to see them, but I don't want to unduly take out stress on the level designers, hence my taking things slow. We did finally do our belated Christmas gift exchange, so I did get some nice things there : some Three Stooges DVDs, a bunch of Yo-kai Watch games, Metroid : Samus Returns, some Zelda amiibos I was missing, and a decorative Hylian Shield and Master Sword. Not really much else to report, so updates! - The Library page has been updated with some new game acquisitions and some new amiibos. The wish list is also open once more. - The Fan Art gallery has been updated with 6 new images. My thanks to everyone for the new artwork! - The Patreon page has been updated with all new backers. My eternal gratitude for your continued support!  -------------- :: May 2018 :: -------------- 05/31/2018 - And once again, time gets away from me. Monday the 28th hit, I was like "Yeah, I have plenty of time," and somehow it was suddenly Thursday. Whoops. Here in Texas, no matter what the calendar says, summer is here. It's either long rain or super heat turning said rain into a sauna. Fun times. Bluh. Meanwhile, the legal paperwork situations continue. You'd think it would be done by now, but there's always something else that needs to be signed, something else that needs to be taken to the lawyer than he didn't tell us about, etc. On the positive side though, Mega Man 11 is looking good. I got my copy reserved, hopefully I'll have ways to record consoles again by then. I also got my copies of the Legacy Collections on Switch. Though I have been more distracted by Hyrule Warriors. Such delicious stress relief, that. And now, updates! - The Library has been updated with a few new games here and there, Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 & 2, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, and Bloodstained : Curse of the Moon on the Switch, plus my reservation of Mega Man 11. Also, my thanks to Siatabiri for the donation of Little Nemo on the NES! - The Fan Art page has been updated with 10 new pieces from Jon Causith. My thanks for the new work! - The Patreon page has been updated with all new backers. My thanks for your continued support! --------------- :: June 2018 :: --------------- 06/29/2018 - I started this update on the 29th, it's technically the 30th now, but I STARTED on the 29th, that counts as not putting it off to the last day of the month, right?.... So this has been a problematic month. First we had Groose lose a cooling fan, so that had to be replaced. And now I'm having to fight with doctor stuff. My old doctor retired, so now I have to see a new one, and they're a lot more needlessly complicated in how they run things. They also seemingly haven't talked with our insurance as they were supposed to, so the doctor thinks they're on our insurance, and our insurance says they're not, so we're having to sort that out. Fun times! As if doctor stuff didn't stress the durgon out enough already o.o; In more positive news though... HECK YEAH SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE!!! I am super hyped for that game, and already have it nice and reserved. I'm going to go into a happy little gaming coma when that hits, yes I am. And now, updates! - The Library has been updated with the reservation of Smash Ultimate, as well as Chompie's donation of Tabletop Simulator, though I haven't had a chance to install it yet because yay satellite bandwidth limitations. Still looking forward to seeing if we can get anything going with it though! - The Patreon page has been updated with all new backers. My eternal thanks for your continued support! - The Fan Art gallery has been updated with 4 new pieces. My thanks to everyone for the new artwork! --------------- :: July 2018 :: --------------- 07/19/2018 - The heck? A site update that ISN'T at the tail end of the month?! MADNESS!! Actually this one's for a special reason, as it's officially time for Let's Vote Round 2! The poll is up now, so go over and make your voice heard! I also decided to at least do the majority of the usual site work tonight. I will be doing a sub-update toward the end of the month though for fan art, I don't really have time to do that right at the moment. So, updates! - The Polls page is ready with the Let's Vote Round 2 list! What will I be LPing next? Well that's up to you! - The Projects page has been updated with MaGMML2's completion. - The Library has been updated with the arrival of my Pearl and Marina amiibos, and the reservation of Solaire, Inkling, Ridley, and Wolf. - The Patreon page has been updated with all new backers. My eternal thanks for your continued support! 07/29/2018 - A DOUBLE update for one month?!! CRAZINESS! Though this is a smaller update, more just polishing things up from the last update, doing the rest of the usual uploads. So let's get right to it! - The Polls page has been updated, the Let's Vote 2 results are locked in! Congrats to Castlevania : Circle of the Moon! - The Projects page has been updated with the upcoming Castlevania project, as well as adding Mag Mammal 2 to completed projects, and listing the rest of the poll results in coming soon. - The Library has been updated with my purchase of Hollow Knight on the Switch, as well as upgrading to Sonic Mania Plus. Also, my thanks to Jon Causith for donating... quite a few awesome tools to hopefully get me into more recording options again! - The Fan Art gallery has been updated with 27 new pieces. My thanks to everyone who sent in new work! ----------------- :: August 2018 :: ----------------- 08/31/2018 - It feels weird to think we're into the last four months of the year pretty soon here. Then again, 2018's been a weird year overall. It feels pretty good to be working on Circle of the Moon, and I'm glad people have been enjoying it thus far! Also some things here at home are starting to go a bit better, we finally have at least one of my step-uncle's vehicles transferred to our name now, so there's that, and the scammers seem to be leaving us alone for the moment. In my off time, I've been getting pretty invested in Hollow Knight. When I can record consoles again, that's one I'd definitely consider for an LP. On that front, I'm still looking into things, haven't quite got anything solid yet, the device Jon Causith sent unfortunately still gave me lag issues, as well as oddly not playing any audio in OBS... That was a confusing one for him, too o.o; But now, site updates! - The Library has been updated with my acquisition of Okami HD, and the two Picross S games for Switch. - The Fan Art gallery has been updated with 25 new images. My thanks to everyone for the nice art! - The Patreon page has been updated with all new backers. My eternal thanks for your continued support! -------------------- :: September 2018 :: -------------------- 09/30/2018 - Tonight's been a strange night. So I was recording more Circle of the Moon, and finally got the Battle Arena footage done. I also knew I had to get the site updates done tonight. Busy durgon!... and then while having dinner? One of my teeth fell out. SUPER FUN! Sooo yeah. My teeth are kinda bad. Unfortunate truth of not being able to afford dental checkups since I was in junior high. My late father's insurance covered dental for me until then, but when the coverage stopped, we just couldn't afford it anymore. So yeah, take care of your teeth! Not really sure what we're going to be doing about this, my uncle might be able to help with his own insurance, basically we're just going to have to look into things and see what can be done. Other than that, well, I do finally have my new capture card and can record consoles again. Still some things to iron out if I can, but at least it's progress! I'm thinking about doing a blind run of Mega Man 11, but we'll have to see what the tooth situation does for that, like, if it's going to affect me talking too much until it gets fixed / whatever kind of recovery there is for this kind of thing. Other than that, only a few updates this time : - The Fan Art gallery has been updated with 24 new pieces. My thanks to the artists for the nice artwork! - The Patreon page has been updated with all new backers. My gratitude for your continued support! ------------------ :: October 2018 :: ------------------ 10/31/2018 - HAPPY SPOOPKTOBER OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT! Soooooo yeah, almost forgot to do this this month due to all the dental stuff going on. That's been keeping me pretty occupied. At the current point in time, I have some temporaries in place, and have to go back up in a week or so to get the permanents in place and they'll take the final impression for my bridge, which I'm guessing will be another one to two weeks. At the very least, I'm having to use painkillers less and less from it, so at least that's good. Also have had Warriors Orochi 4 to keep me busy and entertained. Hopefully the rest of the dental work will go smoothly and not involve too much recovery time or whatever so I can get back to work. So anyway, updates! - The Projects page has been updated with the completion of both Castlevania : Circle of the Moon and the Mega Man 11 Blind Run. - The Library page has been updated with my acquisition of both Mega Man 11 and Warriors Orochi 4, as well as a couple of amiibos. - The Fan Art page has been updated with 12 new pieces. My thanks to the artists for the nice work! - The Patreon page has been updated with all new backers. My eternal thanks for your continued support! ------------------- :: November 2018 :: ------------------- 11/30/2018 - Welp, this has been a month. Sooooo yeah, still been dealing with the dental stuff. Thankfully, it should be almost over. Tentatively, my final appointment will be this coming Wednesday morning. It depends on if they get the bridge delivered in time, but they seem to think they should have it by then, so here's hoping. Aside from that, hard to believe it's only a week until Smash Ultimate, I am super hyped for it! But for those worried about me taking more break time, nope. Not taking December off unless there's some sort of doctor's, er, dentist's orders, but I highly doubt there would be. Once the bridge is in, I should be good to go, and I'll be getting to work on Cuphead. With that though, updates! - The Library has been updated with my acquisition of Marble it Up, and reservations of a few more amiibo. Also my good friend Jon Causith donated the last three Monster Hunter Stories amiibo I was missing! With that, I think I have every amiibo figure either in hand or reserved, at least those that have been made available for pre-order. - The Fan Art gallery has been updated with 12 new pics. My thanks to the artists for sending them in! - The Patreon page has been updated with all new backers. My eternal gratitude for your continued support! ------------------- :: December 2018 :: ------------------- 12/31/2018 - Happy New Years! May 2019 not suck! If nothing else, it feels good to be back to work on the channel now that all the dental mess is taken care of. Cuphead has been quite a fun game to come back to, I've been greatly enjoying myself with it. I've also of course been enjoying some Smash Bros. Ultimate, heck yeah! Also have Splatoon 2 and Captain Toad to enjoy thanks to Christmas goodies, along with some DVDs to watch, so that's all good and fun. With that though, it's time for the final updates of the year! - The Projects page has been updated with the current running project of Cuphead. - The Library page has been updated with various new game and amiibo additions thanks to Christmas and various reservations coming in, as well as the donation of Luigi's Mansion : Dark Moon from Beedolphin! - The Fan Art page has been updated with 15 new pieces. My thanks to everyone for sending in new work! And with that, Happy 2019, and I shall see you in the new year!
