INFO: 2015 In Review
10 years ago
Harken, my subjects!
Some reflections on 2015 from your adorable imperious prince. Its been an interesting year.
ETHERAS CHARACTER ACHIEVEMENTS
.. lots of new artwork.
.. started task of shifting Etheras in a new direction: more to his original concept.
.. found some new artists, replaced a few old ones.
.. conquered some people.
.. subjugated some stuff.
.. crossed the 100K pageviews milestone.
.. crossed the 50K faves milestone.
.. first comic uploaded ("May The Best Man Win"). Its in my gallery!
ETHERAS PLAYER ACHIEVEMENTS
.. revived original fennec character Jaspian. More to come on this!
.. published first (non-furry) video game to Steam. This has been a bit of a stealth release because I'm not entirely happy with how it turned out. Second one should be better.
.. co-hosted third annual FurryCon™ in Rochester NY. Themed "Game of Con Chairs", I think it was even better than last year. Next year's should be even better, but its in a holding pattern at the moment as Soron has some logistical issues to work out for a really big (and impressive) change that we have planned.
.. continued to take measures to cut down on character theft. Steps are being taken to hopefully make character theft a thing of the past.
.. resumed ConCast and had a very successful season 2, but will be retiring from the show due to time constraints. (It consumes a lot of time, and I have other projects that are more important to me).
.. posted a bunch of new journals, which are increasingly IC. Response has been mostly positive.
.. first really professional quality song produced, called "Rock Drop". Still needs polishing before a general release.
IN THE WORLD
.. the increasing capability of ISIS to conduct operations abroad is highly disturbing to me. I'm not hawkish iRL, but they have demonstrated a willingness and capability to strike The West, and I think its time to take them out, even if it means direct military operations.
.. the political landscape in the United States is troubling. I fear our choices will come down to: a blustering bigot former reality TV star unable to articulate plans - versus - a lying felon who attempted to destroy evidence to cover up her own incompetence. And this person will lead the world's most powerful military and economy? Gonna be a tough 4 years.
.. Tesla Motors enables first "autopilot" street-legal automobiles.
.. Tesla "Ludicrous" mode puts Model-S in 4th place (0-60 in 2.8s) for fastest accelerating stock street-legal automobiles.
.. Tesla releases Model-X, which seems even more compelling than Model-S.
.. Microsoft Surfacebook redefines mobile computing with a series of new innovations in an industry recently starved for new ideas.
.. Major setback for SpaceX as one of their rockets disintegrates during ascent.
.. SpaceX and Blue Origin demonstrate orbital and space class reusable boosters.
UNREACHED ACHIEVEMENTS
.. did not complete the novel that I spoke of last year. Hardly even started it, in fact.
.. music was made, but not released.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2016
.. the release of at least 1 major video game title (non-furry). Possibly as many as 3.
.. development of several new Etheras comics. They might not be published in 2016, however.
.. launch of www.etheras.com (I know, I know. Its taking forever)
.. publishing of new music
.. PERHAPS publishing of an Etheras novel. I will definitely work on it, but it might not make it to presses before the end of the year
.. and of course, lots of new artwork featuring Etheras with horses and zebras!!!
Should be an exciting year! Hope you'll stay with me ^.^
Thanks,
~ Lord Etheras
