Kerslash Updates (and other stuff)

Posted by Celshaded - August 31st, 2018


Hey guys, long time no see. It's been dead on my page for a while and I'm just checking in to let you guys know I'm still alive and to give you some updates on what I've been up to.

As you guys may have heard a while back, i was working on a short RPG Maker game that ballooned into a huge time sink. I was dead set on finishing this game but I've become frustrated with fighting with this engine to try and pull off what I'm trying to do. So the game is currently on hiatus, but there's an updated demo if you want to check it out:

In the future I think I'll handle games by designing mockups and graphics and passing it to an actual programmer.

Some other things, I've been a guest on Sketch Watch Play, a podcast about animation and video games and stuff:

This was my first time on there, but I was on there again just recently talking about Record of Lodoss War and Mega Man X: http://sketchwatchplay.libsyn.com/30-record-of-lodoss-warant-man-and-the-waspmega-man-x-legacy-collection

Still working my dope day job making corporate anime for the man:

And then finally there's Kerslash:

I took a bit of a break from Kerslash after finishing episode 2 and getting a generally "meh" reaction to it. To be honest I got a little discouraged and almost gave up on the series entirely. My RPG game was supposed to be a fun little diversion to blow off steam, but since I'm pretty much done with that for now I'm ready to get back to Kerslash. I'm currently in the process of redoing the intro for the last 2 episodes of this "arc". Once all 4 episodes are done I'm planning on going back and re-editing all of it together into a short film, with redone/extended animation on some parts. I only hope all my original voice actors will still be available.

That's pretty much everything I have to report. I spent some time focusing on getting more content out on both my Twitch and Youtube channels and almost completely forgot about Newgrounds. So my plan moving forward is to get back to posting regularly on here again and making stuff specifically for this site and more importantly for the fans that follow me on here. You guys are the greatest!

Thanks for checking in with the update and I'm happy to hear you're gonna be posting more up on NG! You've always had a great style and Kerslash has serious potential.

Also I feel like I need to note this more - we upgraded our video processing system this year and our video output has been better than YouTube and Vimeo. NG is THE BEST PLACE to showcase animation at the best quality!

It's good you're still at it. I honestly thought you gave up on the series but now I see why you took time off. The snap shots of the game looks great. Also I giving you a follow on twitch and good to see you there as well. Hope to catch you streaming sometime. Wait! Your not affiliated there? That needs to change. Keep the grind going.
