That's a new one on me. I mean, I know there are Unity3D projects on here, but I thought they'd been converted into Flash somehow...I dunno, I'm an idiot :P Well, now that I know Unity is acceptable here, I can use that. I have a few Unity projects that I'm working on on the side, though whether they'll actually see completion is doubtful. I dare say I'm better at making games in Unity than Flash, though.

...that being said, I know a lot of people like my Flash scene creators. So guess what? I FINALLY HAVE FLASH ON MY LAPTOP! I'm not committing to making anything with it - yet - but we'll see what happens. Hopefully my university knowledge will transfer over to Flash and I'll be that much better at it. Though admittedly, I am a little out of practice...we'll see.

I'm not saying you can expect anything from me in the immediately future, but...keep an eye out.

You may have noticed that I'm not a yellow hedgehog anymore. Well, tbh, the whole Sonic fancharacter thing has gotten very childish and outdated. So I've rebranded. I now have a nice image of Hanako Ikezawa from Katawa Shoujo as my profile pic, and a picture of Sayaka and Kyouko from Puella Magi Madoka Magica (OTP for life) as my icon thingy. Depending on my mood, I may replace these with more professional icons (such as the Animatron Studios logo).

I will likely expand this to other sites such as deviantART, as I'm considering phasing out my fancharacters completely, but I don't know if you can rename deviantART accounts (my dA, if you're unfamiliar with it, is named ~MysteryTheHedgehog after my main fancharacter). So yeah, it's all change here.

Please note that I still do not have Flash on my laptop, so for the time being I am still officially on hiatus here. However, it does seem as though this site supports Unity games in some way, so maybe there's still a way I can contribute. We'll see.

Kinda forgot about this place, huh? My bad. Let me fill you in on what's happened during my first year of university.

• I've continued to work on my visual novel, Watashi Wa Nemutte Tokei. I've written over 5,500 lines of code, and it's slowly nearing completion. It even has a website (http://wwnt.weebly.com/) and a trailer, which you can view on said website.
• I've learned a lot of C# in my first year of university, and I've been putting it to good use in both Visual Studio and Unity. My Visual Studio projects include an "Anime Plot Generator" (which you can play here: http://kserver.nu/fun/animeplotgenerator.php), and a text-based adventure game that's not ready yet. As for Unity, you can download my first-year game project here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/j1wqf8faiw2k4kd/Robot_Attack.zip. This is only about 80-100 hours' worth of work, so don't expect Halo.
• I've started playing a number of new games, including Minetest, Terraria, the Steam version of EBF4, Audiosurf, and an early-access Zelda-esque game called Lenna's Inception (find out more here: http://lennasinception.com/about/).
• In December I wrote and published the first chapter of a dystopian sci-fi thriller...which I then forgot about. Just like this place. Whoops. Read it here: https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3170639/1/Don-t-Say-a-Word

...and that's everything I can think of. Oh, and...I wonder if all this coding practice will have improved my ActionScript skills. I'll have to FINALLY get Flash on this laptop so I can find out.

...well, to an extent. It's still gonna be hard but I've gotten almost everything sorted out now. Got a new laptop as well, with a huge hard drive, helpful for projects! Speaking of which, I don't see any Flash projects on the horizon for a while, sorry about that :(

Also, after my last post I feel I should clarify a couple of things. One, I'm going to Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, not THE actual Cambridge University as a lot of people assumed in the previous post. I'd love to be going to THE Cambridge University but I'm not. Two, I'm studying Computer Games Development, so in future I can make things a bit more complex than Flash scene creators. If I can I may share some of my uni projects with you (or at least bits of them).

In a very short time I'll be moving away from home and into my university accommodation in Cambridge. Wish me luck.

If you try to add me as a collaborator on a project, and I don't know you nor have I heard of said project, I will automatically deny your request. If you think there's a legit reason for me to be added as a collaborator on your project, come talk to me about it beforehand so you can explain why you think this.

Phew...having to work to the bone to finish this damn ICT project. The signs are good as fas as university is concerned, I'm almost certainly going to Anglia Ruskin in September. Awesome :D

As for my other projects, my visual novel is progressing well. I think it's going to turn out pretty good. Which reminds me, if you like visual novels, check out this pretty cool-looking Kickstarter project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/758714218/dr iftwood-the-visual-novel

Today our family's beloved dog, Dipstick, has had to be put down due to illness. Naturally, this is a very upsetting event for me and those around me. I'll most likely be off the site for a few days while I grieve. Don't worry about me; I'll be fine.

I went back and added the NG ad preloader to Madness Scene Creators 2 and 4, as those were the ones without the Madness Day preloaders. That ought to give my ad revenue a little boost.

Finally! Got my first ad revenue cheque from NG! $102.23 amounts to £65.25 in GBP. I shall use this money wisely. And I shall hope the next lot doesn't take me 4 years to earn.
