ZELDA!

Yes I am still a nerd.  But I feel more like one now.

I rarely pre-order anything, but I am quite pleased with the arrival of my pre-ordered copy of Zelda: Skyward Sword.  I'm mostly lolling at the fact that I now have a zelda-themed wii-mote.  And that this is the first time I've ever said "lolling", let alone "lol".  It's a nerdy feeling kind of day.

Oh, I also updated my website.  I added two new screens to Caveman Dan.

I reward my loyal viewers/readers!

I've done another update of Caveman Dan this week, and I'd like to urge all of you who enjoy my site to tell your friends.  I'd like to get some increased readership especially since it will make the games more fun if more people are participating and adding commands.  Speaking of which, feel free to add commands.  Dan shall be exiting this aspect of his feelings shortly, by the way.  So I got one more panel in me before I start making Dan stare at you like a hopeless, directionless soul as he remains clueless as to what actions to take if he has no commands coming his way.  And you don't want to do that to poor Dan, do you?  Well.. maybe you do.

Anyway, I also threw this together as an extra little treat.  A bonus update, if you will.  Since Michelle commented on my last post that she wanted a flaily guy.  So, I animated one for her.  I gave him a purple shirt, because I know Michelle loves purple.  See?  I reward those who post comments on my blog!

P.S. - That's actually a clickable button there, in case you didn't catch on.  I embedded a flash animation in here.

Blog Changes Done!

Changes complete!  Finally, my blog is properly synced up with the rest of my site.  Apart from that "blogger" bar at the top, which comes with the blog, oh well..

Those of you with a 1024x768 resolution won't notice any difference really...

Oh, and of course there's no crazy guy flailing his limbs on the site.  But there should be.  Here's a sample:

Making some changes

I'm going to be working a bit on my blog design to make it as much the same as possible with the rest of my website, so for the time being, you'll notice the top links to the rest of my site are no longer there... also, the blog may look terrible from time to time as I make edits.  Just a little FYI.

Is that a smile I see?

Look at that beautiful smile.  Who wouldn't fall in love with this adorable, balding caveman?

Okay okay, here's the Caveman Dan update.

By the way, I've noticed that nobody has yet to make use of the "save" function of the games.  Just letting you know in case sometime you don't relentlessly read my blog for updates each week and you miss some, and then you're all like, where was I last in the game?  Because really, if things go well some weeks I may add multiple scenes for Caveman Dan instead of just one.  Anyway... maybe no one cares... Blah blah blah blah blah... etc...

More Caveman Dan

Now that I'm past the hump, expect more updates like this with Caveman Dan.. I especially want to move on past the "exploring your feelings" section we're in.  Mostly because I think that with all the delays that have happened with the game, that most people have forgotten what's going on in the story so far.  In which case, I do recommend if you're confused, why not quickly flick through from the beginning, since there aren't a TON of scenes to go through.  Even visually without reading the text, you should be able to remember basically what's happening.  If anyone would like me to make a "key point" synopsis in a blog post, then just tell me in a comment below.

However, I do want to highlight that even though it seems like you guys have made some very odd commands that have led to areas such as Caveman Dan's "inner psyche of feelings", I do want to have a little fun exploring it, because I want to tell a bit more of a story so that you can get to know Dan as a character, and give him some depth.  The interior character is not going to be the primary element of this game, but mostly the entertaining journey and discovery and junk, but I think we gotta at least come to learn a bit more about Dan's motivation.

Anyway, that's my two cents.  So here's the next scene for Caveman Dan.  Enjoy!


P.S.  --  Any thoughts or comments on Caveman Dan so far?  Post your comments!  And also be sure to keep posting commands because that will be important for me to continue making new scenes!

Caveman Dan finally gets updated!!!!

I am SO excited about this one.  Mostly because Caveman Dan was really what I enjoyed doing the most.  I kept putting it off because I badly wanted to animate those flames going on in the background (which you can see if you click here to see the latest installment of Caveman Dan)  Then I got all caught up in Unfettered Discord and other animations and also the fact that I wanted to update some things due to the newer version of flash I now have...

Anyway... just... just enjoy that it's back.

P.S.  For those who watching anime (subbed, not dubbed), this is what I call the "YOSH!" pose.
