Well, after getting through the class that these were started for, as well as the holidays, production has kicked back into overtime on the Spoof Wars Short Films. As promised, as the release of Typhon grows very near, we are releasing a trailer for the films. Though the trailer doesn't say it, the designated name of the collection of short films is "Spoof Wars: Tales of the Jebi". This is very likely the only trailer you'll see until Typhon is released later this month. 

I was originally going to release this trailer yesterday, until an error in Premiere cause me to have to wait. Then when I fixed it, I showed it to Ryan, who promptly wanted to get to work on some very impressive 3D titles for it. The effects have been kicked up a notch from our original intentions, thanks again to Ryan's training from Full Sail in Florida.

As the trailer says, Typhon will likely be finished in late January, Shadows a month later, and although we have no set date for the last mini-short, it will likely be soon after Shadows, along with the DVD. There's definitely talk about another round of short films, some Spoof Wars, some not, but we'll decide on that once we finish this round (and we'll make sure to cut down on the effects next time for quicker releases and editing). 

And so now, thanks to the hard work of Ryan, the cast and myself, we are ready to finally release the first look at the Spoof Wars shorts!

I posted this in the forums, but it needs to be here too.

In observing the site's activity over the most recent months, we've seen that almost everyone really comes here for the forums. While our site setup is nice, we've found that the ambiguous direction and name "community" tends to scare newcomers away.

Since the JA attempts have once again failed, Count will be closing down our new server. We'd still encourage anyone who still wants to run one to do it, as I think DarthMonkey is working on one. Also, the Game Blog will be closed, although any Veteran Member (those of you who are now Comm. Members) can post an opinion thing or blog-like item like Green has recently been doing.

The forums themselves have been cleaned up and pruned into prune juice. For example, we've combined all three Creative Corner forums into one, and moved it into our Discussion section. We're also ditching the serious forum.

The main site will be getting a visual overhaul with new color themes and new non-flash banner. The site's logo is being updated, and we may be creating a "mascot" of sorts for the site. Maigus has been promoted to Administrator, and Green has been promoted to Moderator. Count is also looking into advertisements for the site. Once we have a simpler, easier to navigate site, then we can focus on the site's intentions and means of gathering more people.
