It Happened
17 years ago
General
My dad's job is gone. The economy killed the company he worked for, and the company that bought 'em just officially pulled the plug on his section. He's out. Ironically, just after he got back from a two week training course they all have to re-take every six months to make sure that they're up to date with everything.
Huh.
The best part, though, is that this call came to tell him that his job is gone while he was at SEARS to buy a replacement washing machine and dishwasher for the ones that just broke at the same time. Doesn't that figure.
Oh, but it gets better. My parent's had been putting money into warrenty extensions for the products for the past few years, so that they could get them fixed/replaced if anything like this happened. Well, in typical Corporate America fashion, the companies have been doing everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING) in their power to avoid keeping their part of the deal. Looks like all that money went to nothing. The warranty was a lie. Like the cake.
Sooo... Yeah.
On a related note, I may be opening myself to commissions in the near future. I'd so been hoping to avoid doing so, but it seems I'm going to need to make a little extra cashflow for myself. Or stop drinking tea while I'm at college. Which we all know won't happen, SO...! We'll see.
Now then! On to happier news!
For
LapSeph 's VOCT, As much as I'd love a time boost, even if it's just by a couple of hours, I should have SOMETHING to post tomorrow. It might not be as polished as I'd hoped to make it, but you can only do so much with two days around your tablet, you know...? If I could just submit it around like 3AM, as my body clock has started to tell me is finally getting late enough to sleep, I'd feel much more set... :/
Also, I've begun working on making a video game in my spare time. Right now, I'm keeping you all pretty much in the dark with a strike match... Sorry.
Here's what I can (and will) tell you all. The game is platformer style. The game will involve some vore and possibly some inflation. It will be generally kid-friendly, of course.
As far as development goes, I currently have working player movement, attacks, status, inventory, view, ETC. Meaning by which, it's finally beginning to look like a stable game engine that just needs loads more enemies, items, ETC.
At the time, it's a personal project, and until its functions are more like a finished product, I'd like to keep it that way. Once it's starting to resemble the finished product, I may release a demo level that'll give anyone who tires it a little taste of how it'll play, what features are in it, what buttons do what, and so on. Until then, its pretty much for my eyes only. Sorry, folks.
Guess that's really all I have to report. Old new pictures'll be up soon-ish, and my submission for the tournament'll be up before the deadline.
Take care, everyone.

Like my dad got laid off on my 18th birthday X3
Otherwise, good luck with that game making, and commisions in the future :]
On the other hand, I wish you the best of luck in your game-making adventure!
Also, thank you. ^^
