Evening all, Breckridge Chapter 2 has been released over on the Ace.Co Entertainment Blip channel. http://blip.tv/aceco/breckridge-by-dan-ske...apter-2-6670980 and I built some more of the school.

Just wanted to let anyone who's interested know that Breckridge part 1 has been released. http://blip.tv/aceco/breckridge-by-dan-ske...apter-1-6661357 Hope you like it

Hey guys, I mentioned in my diary topic that I was working on a new audiobook project called Breckridge. It's a ghost story for anyone who's interested and takes place in and around Breckridge Secondary School in the fictional town of Southedge in the North of England. I also mentioned I was working on making Breckridge School to use as a visual aspect to the audiobook. Below is what I've got done so far. This part of the building is a geography classroom in the schools' south block, flanked by a girls bathroom on the left and a boys bathroom on the right. I know this because I'm basing the overall layout of the school on my old high school. The major difference being that I'll be adding a second floor to south block that doesn't exist but is necessary to accommodate the sealed corridor. Once I've built the second floor for this particular wall I'll add some gutters (Eaves trough's in North America) and then will have enough school to use as a photo in the first episode, which will be released over on Blip.tv/aceco. Thanks for looking

How do all, Another update post for anyone following what I'm up to. If you've ever visited the Ace.Co Entertainment page at www.Blip.tv/aceco . You'll have seen that I've started posting daily game play videos complete with commentary. These are easy and fun to do and crucially require very little in the way of editing (Literally syncing up the commentary with the game play and setting the volume of each clip). The idea being that I'm not only putting out regular content which means more views per month and the potential for higher revenue. But also that it gives me time to work on other projects without feeling like I'm not posting anything new. These projects include launching two Audio Book style shows. Parallel Worlds Episode 1 is already up and I'm currently working on 'Breckridge', a ghost story set in and around a school that may or may not be based on my old high school.... I intend to use A:M to enhance the listening experience with stills and brief animations, which is why right now I'm building Breckridge High School, classrooms and all. Only ever made one building before (the cabin for Epic Gamin') and one kitchen for the abandoned E.G fully animated series. So this should prove to be an experience. Dan

What's that? What's what? That thing in the sky. Oh that's just Gerry KNOCKING IT OUTA THE PARK!!

Ladies and gentlemen I have returned. Not that it appears that anyone even noticed I was gone. But yeah I'm back.

Lookin' nifty dude

Here's my new anime girl dressed. She still has no name

Are they boots or does he have really big hairy feet? Also it's a little unnerving that he's smiling....

Damn you work, you win this time!

Remember I said years ago that the original plan for E.G was an anime girl and a dragon. Well I added the dragon this year and now I have started the anime girl. Note the body is just thrown in there it's not the one I'll be using. Still need to work on her but she's comin' along

We animator types are an eclectic bunch of characters with diverse interests, so I was wondering. Is anyone watching Summer Slam tonight?

The way I see that a story should work is based on questions and answers. The beginning of the story should raise questions in the readers mind, the middle should offer some answers even if it only leads to more questions and the end should answer most if not all the questions. By that I mean the things that the reader accepts on faith due to an invisible bond of trust developed with the story teller, don't necessarily need to be explained. The Meta I guess is what I mean, the questions about the universe itself rather than those about the current story. That's why I think a lot of people were annoyed with the series lost. I loved the first series because it introduced strong characters and raised a lot of questions....and then the writers hardly answered any of them or copped out and said "We're leaving that up to your interpretation" I always read that sentence as "We made it up as we went along and don't really know"

Yeah I have no doubt that there's typos all over the place in the manuscript. I do my best to read through everything as I go along to keep it to a minimum but in my original writing plan (This was waaaaay back in the early 2000's) I was gonna get the thing written and then spend a month proof reading the crap out of it. But alas it never happened. Hell even the story never got finished (Well I know how it ends but I never wrote it down). As for posting the chapters I can post a chapter whenever. Just lemme know.

You've hit on one of my internet pet peeves right there. When people outright hate on something (not criticise, criticism is an important part of growing as an artist) when they don't make anything similar or even anything at all. Plus the fact they seem to forget that the content is free. They're not paying anything to be entertained for sometimes up to an hour or more. If they don't like it fine don't watch it but don't insult the person who put hours of their free time into making a FREE product for you. My problem with sketching is that when I've roughed something out I automatically want to start refining it. It's almost like I'm offending myself by leaving something in such a rough state. Speaking of which... <redacted>

Thanks Rodney glad you like it. Next to my family you're top of my list of Ace.Co supporters. Also just thinking that making the story into an audio book with background music, sound effects and still image illustrations would be a neat and fairly quick way of adding a new show to our offerings. Plus it would have the added benefit of being accessible to the visually impaired.....Hmmm Experimentation may be in order.

Wow it's been a long time since I posted anything PW related. Anyway because it's pretty much been put in the "Work on it if I ever get five minutes" Category, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading the book. I wrote quite a lot of PW as a Novel and as no one has really ever read it besides me I thought hmmmm maybe the hash guys would like to read it. If not I won't take offence.

Thanks as always Rodney. Oh have you guys ever wondered what Gwen would look like if she was an anime character?0 I have, and as I had a little time today and have been criminally neglecting my 2D stuff. I made Gwenime. She's not been shaded much but hey I figured I'd post her anyway. Sorry it's not technically A:M (Although I did figure out her pose with the actual Gwen model) also I pulled the Cutting Edge gun blade out of the cupboard so she had something to hold.

For anyone who's interested there's a new Epic Gamin' to watch. http://blip.tv/aceco/spin-master-epic-gamin-s02e04-6627297

Thanks as always Rodney. I am indeed Tech and me, Gwen is my wife Nicole as you said and Game is my daughter Kiara. Samus' power suit and Samus without the power suit are on my to do list of things for the E.G.M.C along with a plethora of other character from various franchises. The plot for E.G.M.C has implications for the whole Gamerverse.

Hello hash friends. There's a new E.G for anyonenwho's interested. Address is below. http://blip.tv/aceco/metroid-other-m-epic-...sode-03-6619176
