Title: On the eve of another video update...
Message:
Well, there is a slight mishap with tomorrow's video update. Syrus was going to do it, but he needs to delay his until next Thursday. So, I'm going to do a last-minute video just to fill the place. Seriously, we need something posted on the last Friday of the month, no exceptions.
That said, I have very good motivation to post all the content I have. Recently I sent a message to Dazz of the Spriter's Resource about affiliation. If you remember, I mentioned sending an email for affiliation back in 2006. His main reason for not accepting my site for affiliation was not for lack of content; it was because they didn't affiliate with Freewebs sites. Well, it's been nearly six months since I bought the domain, so I figured I would try again. This time, his issues were that the design was lopsided (most likely due to the lack of advertisements on the right column; this will be fixed once I sign up for Google AdSense) and the lack of content (which is not truly a lack of content, more a lack of posted content). So now I have two goals to follow up on.

Title: I'm depressed...
Message:
Well, before I get to the topic of the update I'd like to say that the new colors for the navbar buttons are here; The first few letters of the "Development" button? That's what it's going to look like.
That said, once I finish the buttons I'm going to need Syrus to keep an eye on the site. Best case scenario I'll be gone in a week. Worst case scenario, two weeks. I need Syrus to keep an eye on updates. ALSO NOTE we are looking for a third staff member. Preferably someone with experience in game development and resource ripping. Very often both Syrus and I are busy with school stuff. So if you would like to join the staff, we will have a sign-up page sometime soon.

Title: For the sake of updating...
Message:
Alright...just to update, because it's been nearly a week since Syrus updated; I'm going to recap all that I have left to post.
1. A WIP Sprite Ripping tutorial.
2. A WIP guide to making a good Zelda fan game.
3. 36 Sprite Sheets from BadAssBill.
4. Sonikku's four Sprite Sheets (no longer awkward to post them because Sonikku doesn't hate me any more).
5. A midi piano version of the Legend of Zelda overworld theme.
6. A couple of my own sprite sheets (one is the NPCs in the classic Legend of Zelda, another is the title screen from Pokemon Red/Blue, much improved from last time, and the last one is a rip of the flower animation in Red/Blue (you'd be surprised how hard it is to make a pokemon fan game without them.)
That's about it.

Title: SUPERBOWL!
Message:
Heyhey! Today is SUPERBOWL SUNDAY! The one day of the year I actually enjoy watching commercials. Chili cheese dip, barbecued ribs, lots of soda, heck. One awesome day.
Anyway, I'm redoing the navbar images (can't let it go, can I?). I'm converting the font back to the classic R/S/E colors, because the black and white are difficult to read. Less contrast with noticeable difference between colors is ideal. That's my game plan for today.
Once I'm done with that, I've also got a guide to making a good Zelda game that I'm working on. That will get done eventually.
Sy's note: I update later... =3
