Okay, I swear to you we will have that update up before the world ends. In the meantime, I did some more drawing. See, Mr. Monocles over there really doesn't take kindly to people who insinuate he is anything but loyal. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll make up and be best friends soon after. Of course I also really liked how the original black and white looked. Maybe I'll make a print-your-own coloring book for the comic once we've made it a little further down the road. Why? BECAUSE.
^My face when I realized how many months I've been doing this^ So today marks a very significant landmark for me and the silly little webcomic I've been creating for you guys the past...oh...seven months now? (OH GOD seven MONTHS??). The first set of Server/Client pairs is just about to go full steam ahead with this game, and I can tell you guys I'm very excited. We really are moving forward, this is further than I ever dreamed we would get, and now is where it's time to drop all your expect
Our latest update, two days before the one year anniversary of BZPStuck, is a minute and a half long flash animation with special guest music from member Reznas! Stay tuned, we've got more cool stuff coming up very soon.
Man, apparantly people despise/hate the staff but I don't think I ever even get an honorable mention when it comes to enforcing my will without any regard for the rules, obtusely breaking them even as I enforce them upon others. Maybe I can fix this soon. Would you guys promise to be afraid then?
Just so you know I'm incredibly proud of my work on that Inception paragraph in the latest update - it's every bit as pompous, angsty, and overbearing as I could make it. Had to channel my inner sixteen year old, but the results are undeniable. One parts ridiculous pop culture references, one part pointless pining for love, and a dozen drops of meaningless philosophical refuse make the perfect concoction.
I really love the Galaxy Squad sets. I just have a little one but if past behavior is any indication I may be getting all of the darn things by the end of this. Incidentally anyone want to trade some Bionicle for theirs? Haha.
Wow, Smeag sure has made a splash on the scene with his entry into BZPStuck! As the first of many characters to come let's welcome him and secretly hope he stops making so many jokes about musicians I don't know so I don't feel so left out! Just kidding, the more obscure the better. He wouldn't have it any other way. We'll probably be seeing one or two more new characters before we get back to Ray in any serious fashion, but once we do you better believe stuff is going to be kicked into high g
Alright guys. It's been much delayed, abetted, halted, and darn near canceled, but it's finally here. This is a project I've been working on almost since the beginning of Act 2, and while I originally hoped to have it to you somewhere in the beginning of 2013, numerous delays impeded our progress; namely, the main guy I originally hired to program this beauty ended up quitting. Luckily our very own HAHLI HUSKY stepped up to the task, and with her incredible work, I'm finally ready to present t
Whew, just under the wire on that update! Still, despite preperation for graduation, work overtime, and sleepless nights on both Smeag and I's part, we're keeping to a somewhat regular schedule and for that I'm glad. Here in the upcoming week and a half we're going to be debuting yet another flash, and then soon after that, our third (and maybe fourth?) character! I know you're excited, because this means we'll have hit the halfway mark and it's where stuff really starts to get out of hand. So s
Boom. That's right, sweet new art contest. Enter now guys, this one's only gonna last like two weeks and that's IT. This is intended as a design challenge for our members - the plan originated when it was decided we would have a sweet matte painting done as a backdrop for some of our MOCs this year at Brickfair - we wanted Ta-Koro, but the question became what about the most popular members of this little village? What of poor Tahu, noble Vakama, and sad little Jaller? Do they not get to be f
In the latest update, things have been set up for a a duel of EPIC PROPORTION, and the best part is - I'm relying ENTIRELY on you all to tell Ray what to do! This fight is totally unscripted and whatever happens is going to be on you guys, so if you think it'd be fun to tell the character to bonk a Bohrok on the head with a penguin, now is your chance!
Background: I'm a Design Student at the University of Central Oklahoma. A good one. There can't be modesty in that kind of industry; selling yourself is half the battle.
That's what I'd like to talk about. I've got a future post detailing exactly how you can take good design and turn it into great design. It's about knowing why you do what you do, and being able to explain it coherently. Selling yourself.
The Industry of Design is different from art; it's not about expressing yourself, it
Alright folks, Week Two of BZPSTUCK is off and running after a brief respite. From here on out you should probably expect that Sunday/Monday is a no-update-zone, and probably Wednesdays. That still leaves Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for us to play though, not to mention the fact that once we get the other staff members more involved we should see a large influx in update content. I'm lifting some heavy weight here at the beginning but once I get the thing up the others can come in an
Hold up y'all, you remember how it was becoming a pain in the butt to load 200+ images everytime we updated that comic just to read the newest ones? WELL PROBLEM SOLVED. That's right, we came, we coded, we spent days rearchiving, and now you can view the fruit of our labors HERE. Major props to my brother for the heavy lifting on the php side of it, and here's hoping you guys find this a much easier way to enjoy our little story!
Wow, talk about a cliffhanger! I want to seriously apologize for the wait my friends - to say it was out of my control would be true, but it's still not a good enough reason and I do apologize for that. I promise the content will be much more regular from now on - I've taken serious steps to assure it. In the meantime, enjoy the fruits of our labor - this is the first of three big parts of what I'm calling a the megaupdate. Thanks for reading everyone! Click me to watch the animation!
So there we go, our first week was a rousing success I would like to think. Either the critics are being silent or everyone is enjoying it, which is a good thing. Hopefully as this continues more of BZP will be getting involved and we can bring some life back to GD and the forums in general. Anyway, although it's not the most technically impressive thing our first real flash also got posted, with some major props to Ryan Bratton, a non-BZP friend of a friend who provided the customized sweet t
Alright, so I'll just give this a good old ramble:
Brickfair started with Pat coming over to my house, because we had elected to take the bus together this year. Pat, for those not in the know, is our own Darth Vader, and is incredibly awesome in real life. I know you guys like hating on him for his reviews, but hey, somebody has to tell the truth. So anyway we hung out and went to see Inception because he had not yet seen it.
Okay quick Inception break: This movie is just one great film.
Holy cow, almost a month without an update? That can't be right. It is right. What the heck were we even doing?? Well, sadly there was some unfortunate occurrences (and some fortunate ones. I scored an internship with a local design firm!) that involved the sort of sad things that happen to friends sometimes. As a general reminder, always remember that you are loved. Yes, you. Everyone has friends and family, someone who cares about them and it may not even be the ones you suspect - sometime
There are two things we're gonna discuss here today! First: that comic I do. Just wanted to remark how crazily small things can bottleneck this process. Last week, what was one night's worth of work got spread out over a week thanks to my busy work schedule. This week, I'm finally caught up and right on time but now our content producer is getting overwhelmed. This has made what should have been a week's worth of updates spread out into two or three weeks. Very aggravating! Real world, time to
Hey, so you know that thing on the internet where cartoon characters answer questions sometimes and everyone has a lot of fun? What if I did something like that with the cast of BZPStuck (and I mean the full cast, not just who has been introduced so far.) I guess what I'm asking is, how much fun on a scale of 1-10 would this be for you guys. And I mean like, you guys the real members not just the people helping me out, much as I love you guys. Also I mean questions about BZP and how stupid t
Because Rayg has a deep and terrible need. You see This beautiful creature? That's Mezco's iconic, and EXCLUSIVE Walter White action figure with Los Pollos Hermanos slip cover and accessories from the much talked about episode of Breaking Bad "The Fly". And you better believe I need that figure like I need to breathe. That said, I'd really rather not pay the eighty dollars it's going for on Ebay right now. If one you cool kids is going and would be willing to pick this sucker up for m
