Urgent!

July 15, 2010 - Nothing!
Danny Poloskei	It's July 15th and El Cacto still hasn't been touched. I was hoping I'd at least have a few pages and then I could release one page every few days or something like a lot of other jerk webcomics do (the suspense!). I'm disappointed in myself. Copy Ninja 2 is getting really close to done, but it's still not done. Sorry, everyone. I guess I won't bother with another deadline since I'm just not motivated enough right now to meet a deadline, so I'd probably fail to meet it again. I guess they'll just get done when they get done. Edit: Ogg, and C-Mix isn't getting done right now... I just have to colour it, but it's already past midnight and I'm drifting out. I'll have it up within the next 24 hours...

July 07, 2010 - Luck
Danny Poloskei	After cloudflash.net expired, I decided to go about things a slightly less polite way (taking HostBidder stuff outside of HostBidder). The former HostBidder admin, Fergal, also runs a site called Business Advice Forum, which he used to have daily $7 contests on to promote it. Now he seems to have some contest for big money... Crazy stuff. Anyhow, being quite certain he checks in there on a regular basis, I sent him a PM regarding our situation. He was quick to respond and, after a couple messages back and forth, he allowed me to send him a payment to extend cloudflash.net's life another year. We just had to wait a little for it to take effect. So, we're back. My thanks to Fergal for being so cooperative. I'll do my best to ensure this doesn't happen again. As for Copy Ninja 2, I'd say it's maybe around 80% done... I still haven't been working on it nearly as much as I should, but it WILL get done.

July 04, 2010 - Copy Ninja 2 sucks
Danny Poloskei	If this thing didn't have so much work done on it, I'd just scrap the stupid thing... It's hard to stay motivated/focused on Copy Ninja 2, which can partially be credited to our recent expiry and that no voice actors seemed to be interested in the remaining roles. Hopefully the fact that I'm doing so many of the voices won't be TOO noticeable... I'm doing the intro narration, Kakashi, Shikamaru, and Iruka... and I might do the ANBU ninja. I think I'll just make his voice a joke and impersonate a "Girlchan in Paradise" character's voice. I'm starting to get a bit lazy, recycling stuff wherever I can. I still need to find/make some more sound effects, edit music and voice volumes, and probably spend another 10 hours or so animating. There are also a couple of minor role female voices still needed... It might take me a couple more days to get all this crap done, but I dunno how long it'll take to get those voices. El Cacto's release will likely be affected by the slowness of Copy Ninja 2... I'd get going on El Cacto, but then Copy Ninja 2 would only be even later than it already is. I'll never draw a Naruto character again after this is all said and done. Time to clank some spoons together in front of my mic. edit: I got distracted by Azpire, who wanted to know how long it took for me to get decent at pixel art. The answer is here.

July 01, 2010 - Too slow
Danny Poloskei	Well, I spent a lot of my free time yesterday asleep, so I didn't get around to Copy Ninja 2. Today's Canada Day (a day off), so I have all day to work on it now (after I make today's C-Mix), plus I'm well rested. I hope to get most of the remaining animation done within the next few days. Also, part of the delay is because the voice actor I contacted for Kakashi 10 days ago didn't send any lines back. I've now posted a request at the Voice Acting Club. I haven't heard any word from HostBidder, so Cloudflash is definitely moving. I've started to upload updates to http://cloudflash.site11.com. It seems 110mb is as unreliable as ever; I tried uploading something there and the FTP was still nearly unusable. I'm gonna lock cloudflash.net's forum on July 2nd.
