Yup, it's that time of year again. I'll be off Omnimaga, and the Internet at large, starting on June 13 (when I head up to Salt Lake City to visit some family) and ending sometime in late August.
My rents have, however, allowed me to keep my calc, which means that project development will not only continue but should actually accelerate. You just won't hear about it until I show up in a blaze of epic glory three months from now with all of my projects finished, a fully orchestrated score for Yumé, and 9001-level grayscale.
Project statuses:Cubes: I will definitely finish this before the summer is over.
MFQT: Will basically undergo a total rewrite. That engine is so broken, I don't even.
Elmine preserve us, this is gonna be BAD.Omni Emblem: Since this is a computer project, this will stall over the summer, but I'll be mapping on paper whenever I get the chance.
Composing for Yumé: Actually, this is an interesting one. In what I'm now referring to as the Great Purge of 2010, where my rents got a hold of the password I use(d) basically everywhere, they figured out I was working on this from my conversations with Tsukasa. While they don't strictly approve of me talking to "Random Strangers" on the internet, and there's
no way they believe she's female, they actually approve of my getting back into music after what's been a long hiatus. With the end result that I'll actually be able to work on this. ATM I have three half-songs that I haven't been able to push here because they're on my home comp (y'know, the one that I'm DEFINITELY NEVER EVER allowed to get on Omni with?), but I'll see if I can get them out when I've finished.
And the big one:
"Song" (AKA The One In Randomness): I'll actually start engine work on this, and if I can stay motivated you guys'll have a handful of demo maps when I come back, probably with placeholder graphics (both my artists are moving to DC in a month).
THIS IS GONNA KICK ASS.For those who have submitted chars and are wondering whether they're in, as a whole the answer is "Yes, if I can use them." And I can think of places for 90% of them within roughly 5 seconds. The other 10% are still probably in. I'll start sending out confirmations pretty soon.
SO! Get ready for the psychological impact of an Omnimaga without me. Maybe take some Zoloft.
