I bet you all thought I was working on things behind the scenes or something, but I wasn't. Throughout the past two weeks, I've just been watching anime (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Azumanga Dioh, Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka?, Ouran High School Host Club, and others). The most productive thing that happened was a feeble attempt at learning conversational Japanese, which I spent seven minutes on before taking a "break". I'm trying to get hyped for the Construct 2 game jam, because I want to win a personal license, but I'm really just not feeling it. Music has been an issue too. I can always come up with sweet metal lead riffs during class, but I always forget them when I get home and boot up FL studio. I keep adding really ambitious projects to my bucket list, including:

- Learn Japanese

- Join Machinima

- Start a succesful gaming channel, gaming with a group of friends

- Orchestral remix album of various newgrounds songs (like what bosa's doing)

- Metal remix album of various newgrounds songs

- Metal album remaking songs made in punk o matic

- Create an anime (lol yeah right, like that's happening)

As more ideas pile on, some other ideas fall off. A lot of the games I had planned to release this spring haven't been touched. Puzzle Jumper v4 released in late spring? Yeah right. I haven't even started world 2 yet. The vocaloid album I'm working on? Haven't finished any new songs. Just previews (new one: https://soundcloud.com/larynachos/another-damned-song-preview-read-desc). I might release a lyric video for the second track that I had done months ago, but I really don't know. I have no idea what I'm going to do.

Ahhhhg, I haven't done ANYTHING since I released Captive in Darkness. I guess my will to work was bashed a bit because it's not getting the massive hype I was hoping for. I mean, my friends were wooping it up, and I hope that was sincere (although exaggerated) excitement, but it didn't reach out to any new people. I mean damn, Cacola's remix has the same number of views, and it's been up for a shorter time! I just kinda hoped that things would begin to take off this year. I was gonna go all out and make a legendary album, but it just ended up being just another damned project, no better than the rest.

So hey, I might be in a hiatus until summer. Maybe school is what's getting in the way of my progress. 

Also, song preview: https://soundcloud.com/larynachos/3rd-track/s-FHaX7

So, as you know, I released the first track to my vocaloid album, and Cacola has already made a remix of it!

Check out his remix here: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/572355

Speaking of remixes, I kinda want to remix something myself. I haven't released a good old trance song in a while, so I want to make something. If you have a song from a game you like, let me know, and I'll see if I can remix it. Alternatively, if there's a song you've created that you'd like to see remixed, I can do that too.

Peace.

Guess what? Tomorrow, I'm going to upload the first track of Suffering in Silence (the vocaloid album I've been working on)! The first track is called "Captive in Darkness", and I went all out with this one. I have a lyric video going up on youtube, and I'll be uploading the song to newgrounds and reverbnation! The rest of the album isn't ready yet. I have one more song done, and I'm working on a few others. This process is slow because school is relentless. I'll release the second track for sure before summer vacation, and the entire album should be complete by september.

AAAAHG IF YOU'RE NOT HYPED THEN YOU DON'T GET TO HANG OUT WITH US COOL KIDS 

Hey everyone! After not having my laptop for a few weeks (my charger cord snapped), I have finally returned! Not too sure what I'm going to start working on. I'm a bit un-organized at the moment, and school isn't making that any easier on me. I'm working with Cacola and TeraVex on a full Techno Trio album, and I still need to work on my vocaloid album, so I'm pretty packed with stuff. Can't wait to get back to work!

Oh man, I'm almost on a roll!

My friend Kyle just finished a remix of my song Winter Dreams. You should check it out and maybe look at his other stuff. Give him the love he deserves and whatnot.

You also might have seen the new game I posted today. I know it's crappy, but I was just using that project as a test for some clay.io API. I was testing out the advertisment plugin, to see if it works. If it does, then I'll put an ad in Puzzle Jumper, hopefully generating enough revenue over time to buy construct 2. 

Speaking of money, I dropped the price of my two albums down to 4.99, so get it while it's cheap!

One last thing...

I just launched my new website! After leaving freewebs due to their restricted free version, I moved to wix and crafted a masterpiece! You can visit it by clicking that link over to the left (the one that says "website"). Check that out, and let me know what you think!

You might be wondering, "Logan, what about that vocaloid album you're working on?". Well, I'm facing quite the creative block in the music department. Mashed out the first two beautiful tracks, and then promptly lost all of the inspiration to create music. I'll try as hard as I can o get back in the music mood, but until then, you are all forced to play my horrible games! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Cheers, guys.

Heh heh. Get it? Of course not, I haven't told you the news yet.

Bad news: Puzzle Jumper v3 is canceled.

Good news: Puzzle Jumper v4 is well on it's way to being released sometime in the spring.

Honestly, I hadn't touched puzzle jumper v3 in over a month, and when I finally did, I realized how terrible it was, so I decided to just dive right over it into version 4. Here's a screenshot of one of the levels. 

As you can see, it's multiplayer, but I might have to remove the second player, because I can only have 100 events in the free version of construct 2 (the software I'm using to develop this game), and I can't cough up the $150 required for the full version. Ah, if only I was old enough to start a kickstarter...

Game Roster (in order of priority)

1. Puzzle Jumper v4 (Single Player; Local Coop; Online Coop?; 8-bit; Leaderboard; Puzzle Platformer; Roughly 40% completed)

2. Hell Hotel (Single Player; Coop?; 8-bit; Leaderboard; zombie survival platformer; Roughly 70% completed)

3. Jontron: The Game (Single Player; Coop?; 8-bit; Puzzle Platformer highly similar to Puzzle Jumper; Roughly 5% completed)

4. Dead Defense v2 (Single Player; Local Coop?; Online Coop?; Leaderboard?; 2d zombie survival shooter; 0% completed)

5. Coin Collector v2 (Single Player; Local multiplayer; Online multiplayer?; Leaderboard; 2d action/puzzle platformer; 0% completed)

6. Slender 2D (Single player; 2d horror game; 1% completed)

7. Ben Drowned: The Game (Single Player; RPG horror; Roughly 75% completed)

These are the top 7 games I'll be working on over the course of 2014. If you don't see a project I have previously mentioned on this list, that means I've put it on the "backburner", and it probably won't be released for a while. Either that or I've forgotten about it. See a game on this list that you'd like to see prioritized? Shoot me a pm or comment, and if a project is popular enough, I'll bump it up higher.

Wow, I just hit 50 fans! I set a goal back in march 2013 that I would get 50 fans in a single year, and look! I reached my goal with time to spare. Also, points to all of my fans, because I haven't lost a single fan yet. Nice. Now how about 100 fans before the end of 2014, hmm? Cheers!

Hey guys! I kinda dropped off the radar for a week, but I've been really busy [playing video games]. I made a video yesterday revealing the album to youtube, and also giving a tiny preview of a track on the album at the very end.

Watch it here:

After pushing out the first two tracks, I'm going to try and take it a bit slow. With second semester throwing everything at me, this shouldn't be a problem. I still want to do small projects on the side, just to keep putting some content out there so you don't get bored, but I won't put this project on "hold". This is my primary focus, but I still want to make other things.

Yes! My next project is a Vocaloid album. It's going to be a metal/techno album, and I'm going to be primarily using Megurine Luka.

Any song that I compose that I can't put a vocaloid track to will be put into a fourth album (working title: Melancholy Melodies). 

I'm already working on the first track, and oh my god, it's beautiful.
