Woo! 180 fans! 20 more and I'll be at 200! Thanks to @cody104 for being my 180th fan!

Not much to report in terms of content. Endgame is on hold because @xWhitexFlamex is too busy being an adult to sing the vocals. I'm still working on my Madness Day submission, as well as Dead Defense 2. I'm procrastinating my NGADM entry, so that'll probably come back and bite me in the ass pretty soon.

Eyyy, 10 fans in a month! Not bad, not bad at all! Thanks to @deathofsun for being my 170th fan! Also, shoutout to @WarriorHEART (fan 169) and @PinkSapphireKissu (fan 168). Thank you all so much for supporting me and my content (I really appreciate it)! Hey, think we can get to 200 fans by September?

I don't have much of an update for you all today. I'm having a really bad procrastination spell, and I've just been watching Gintama for the last few days (I'm already on the 112th episode ><). I have a lot of cool projects lined up (Dead Defense 2, a secret game for Madness Day, etc), but no motivation to get them done. Ah well, I'll just sit here and hope I get a surge of motivation soon.

That's all for now. Cheers!

Thanks to @Vixuzar, I now have 160 fans! Yeeee!

Also, I managed to salvage the project file for Dead Defense 2. I'll have to find all of the source images before I can make more progress though (idk where I found the tilesets and stuff).

Oh, and my birthday is on the 5th. I'm turning 17 :D

Yay, 150 fans! Thanks to @DokuChamp and @invictus925 for being followers #149 and #150. There's no prize (I'm flat broke), but you have my sincere thanks!

Now for some bad news: My production laptop died, and the hard drive was almost completely corrupted. I managed to salvage some flp files for my songs, but my video game projects are all gone. That means that Puzzle Jumper and Dead Defense are both cancelled, and I'm giving up game development. Whatever.

Remember when I hyped up my last metal album "Suffering in Silence"? I totally botched that shit, and ended up bailing on the project after 4 tracks. But guess what?

I'm working on a new metal album! Well, it's kind of a mix between metal and alternative rock, but it's still gonna be kickass! My friend Kyle ( @XWhitexFlameX ) is lending his sweet, sweet voice, and @Cacola is also contributing, assisting with writing and melody construction. I seriously suggest you check these two guys out!

Also, this album is in no way connected to @XxCowMeatxX 's song "EndGame". It's just a coincidence, I swear! Welcome back, bud!

Here is a wip of the first song. Kyle hasn't done the vocals yet, but it still sounds great!

Stay awesome Newgrounds!

Hell yeah, I've had this profile for two years! Now at what point to I get accepted as a regular?

Haha, it's been a fun time, guys. 140 fans in 2 years. That's some pretty neat growth (although my production rate as slowed to a crawl). Let's see if we can get to 200 by the end of 2015, hmm?

As I haven't updated you since september, I thought I ought to take the time to do that now. Of course I got my usb headphone adapter, which is why you all saw some more songs posted by me since then. I haven't abandoned Puzzle Jumper v4, nor have I shelved Dead Defense 2. I've been much busier than normal, and it''s taking up most of my leisure time. I haven't been working on any more "super secret projects", but I HAVE been hired to compose for a pretty sweet game that's going on Steam! It's title is Vegan Zombies, and @Cacola and I are the musicians. As an added bonus, I've been appointed "Community Manager", in which I essentially run their facebook page. Pretty cool, huh? Check out the page here: https://www.facebook.com/VeganZombies. We're getting close to launching the kickstarter, so get your wallets ready!

As we're trying to release sneak peaks in moderation, I'm only allowed to show you guys one of the songs I've composed for Vegan Zombies. Here is one of the boss level songs:

Aside from composing Vegan Zombies, I have plenty of personal WIPs:

Stay cool, everyone! I'll be uploading more content once summer vacation finally shows up!

Alright, so I was really pumped this weekend. I had the idea for a new music project, and I was gonna start working on it, but a problem arose.

See, I bought a new pair of headphones, and when I plugged them in, the sound came from both the laptop speakers AND the headphones. To make matters worse, I get the same result whenever I plug in my secondary pair of headphones or my earbuds. I've tried rebooting my computer, restoring it to an earlier point, uninstalling and reinstalling my audio driver, and leaving the computer completely off for a few hours. Still nothing. Worst case scenario is the new headphones broke my headphone jack when I plugged them in. If that's the case, then I have to wait until I can buy a pair of USB headphones, which could be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. This has completely halted my productivity, so don't expect anything new for a while.

Update: I'm looking into getting a USB adapter for my headphones. Might not be as screwed as I originally thought!

We made it.

With two days left on the clock, I managed to reach 100 fans before summer vacation ended. I was getting worried, but it looks like you pulled through. What do you guys wanna do to celebrate?

Project status: lol

With school in a few days, expect a huge decline in content, activity, and will to work.

Hey, I just reached 80 fans. I might actually be able to get 100 fans before summer is over!

@RoVeRDude58 is mr. 80th, and he makes good music, so you should check him out. :)

I was super bummed because "Rise" didn't make it past the NGADM audition round, so this kinda helped cheer me up. Thanks, bruhuhuh!

One more thing: I've been working on the cover art for my album, and this is what I've come up with so far. You like? 

So, I decided to cut off my latest album "Melancholy Melodies" at 8 tracks. You can see the full tracklist here: http://www.reverbnation.com/thebluephoenix/album/76357-melancholy-melodies. All songs are free to download on both newgrounds AND reverbnation, so take your pick, I guess.
