Not enough time to make a real journal. I'll be there! Bye!

Also I plan on posting the finished version of the James vs Amp animation and a lion POV vore animation soon!

Looks like I'm stuck going to this HORRIBLE con ONCE AGAIN. I'm staying with some loser idiot who thinks he is good at video games because he can stomp on arrows ( flip~) and some big dumb dog who drives a stupid treehuggermobile ( wufferjohann). How many of you nose picking losers are going to show up and make this EVEN WORSE for me? At least tell me in the comments so I can be prepared.

Meme time:
Don't touch me.
DON'T hug me.
DO NOT SNIFF ME.
Looking at me is I'll-advised.
Get that camera away from me.
No I will not go out to eat with you. How do you expect me to even keep food down with you sitting there?
I'm getting there Friday because Thursday wouldn't be nearly terrible enough and I'm leaving Monday if I haven't hung myself by then.

If you see me there, feel free to flip me off from a distance. Like I fucking care. Ugh.







Oh, disclaimer: I'm kidding you mook. I will be there though.

I'll be heading to Anthrocon on Wednesday, July Third and leaving the following Monday! I'll be in the Westin and, of course, I'll be fursuiting around, though I'm working on a bit of a surprise right now. Anyway, I hope to see a bunch of you there! If you have any questions you want to ask me about meeting me at AC, please ask. That way, instead of answering a list of questions people might not have even wanted answers to, I'll be answering questions I know people want the answers to! :D

If I crowd funded these interactive animations I do would that bother anyone? Would you donate to see more of them? These things take a heck of a lot of time to complete, and, to be honest, they aren't really that "fun" for me after the dozens of hours they take to create. I'm also self-employed, which means time working on these things means times not working on things to keep me from going broke and all of that fun stuff.

Now, I don't intend to get rich on this. I can make a crappy game in the time it takes for me to make one of these interactive animations, sell it on mobile devices, and get paid monthly. I can't expect that from doing these animations on commission, and people are not willing to pay me even minimum wage for a commissioned version of one of these things because that's still a lot of money to drop.

So, I figure, since commissions really won't work out, why not crowdsource instead of just quitting? If a bunch of people spend a little to support it, it might enough to keep this time-expensive hobby going. I'm thinking I pitch a scene to people through sketches, and if they want to see it in interactive 3D, we raise enough to cover minimum wage for me a least and everyone gets to see it for free. I'm not sure what sort of perks I could do, as doing something as simple sounding as adding a character to the scene can drastically change the plans and eat up a buttload of time, but I don't want to say "donate at least $__" to download, either. If we raise more, we can always extend scenes or add more options, too.

I'm also totally open to the idea of working with other skilled people to lessen my load and possibly get nicer scenes out. I'm talking animators, modelers and sound people. A lot of people are better then me at these things, so the final product might be way better, as well.

What do you guys think? Would that be terrible? Would you help support this super time-expensive hobby of mine that I should probably quit so I can make real games?

It's also worth noting that there are sometimes expenses that come a long with doing these things. Sometimes I buy plug-ins to save time instead of writing my own effects or functionality, and they can be a bit pricey.

I just got back from a con, but I'm going to this one, too! I'll be getting there on Thursday. Who can I expect to see? :D

Who will I see there? :D

Where are all of those furries I used to play DayZ with, huh? I'm running out of space in my tents and I need dudes to share all of my stuff with! Anyone interested?

The server ip is: 173.192.200.93:3102

You can also filter for "Fur Affinity".

Yay! Now you can watch my interactive stuff in 1080p even if your computer can't run it! I'll be uploading my interactive stuff, and possibly several versions of it, for the stuff that can go multiple ways. I'll probably also end up uploading stuff from Second Life that I make for SLVC. So yeah, get the word out! Tell your friends! I want as many random ass YouTube people watching my stuff as possible. :D

I'm going! I'll be getting there on Thursday, staying in the main hotel and fursuiting a ton. Did you want to know anything else? Ask away!

I don't usually do journals like these; PSAs and the like. In fact, I don't like reading them, either. Too many people like to write entire journals complaining about something strangely specific, but I think it would be beneficial to inform you guys of a little problem I've noticed.

Changing your font color is cool and all, but please realize that not everyone uses the dark theme, and using bright colors can make it nearly impossible to read your journals or profiles without selecting the text or changing themes. I've been on FA for a long time, and I believe that's why my theme is set to light. I don't believe I've ever changed it, so perhaps it was the old default. Anyway, I'm used to the light theme, and I prefer it to the dark one. It's also a very quick indicator of whether or not I'm logged in, since dark seems to be the new default. So please, the bright text? Some of us can't read that. If you're not too sure if your text is annoying or not, you can always just not use font colors, too!

Think of this as me roleplaying a guy with voices in his head telling him what to do. How many voices? Well, the more, the merrier! Let's confuse some people together! :D

Because I certainly play WAY too much Day Z. If anyone else plays, you should tell me so we can roll together. :D

I've uploaded the Unity3d project file for Jajuka vs Amp here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/181787/jaj.....p%20Source.zip

Please read the readme before asking any questions, and remember that this is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License, which means no using the source for profit, and please give credit where credit is due. You'll need the Unity engine to use this project, which you can download for free at http://www.unity3d.com. If you make anything neat, please share! This source also includes the "Interactive Eaten Amplitude" scene.

I'm pretty much done working on the whole Jajuka vs Amp thing, and I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in messing with it themselves. I can supply the Unity3d project folder for it under a creative commons license. I'd only ask that nothing be used commercially and credit is given where due. Also, I'm open sourcing it because I have other things to work on and I'm hoping some people can make it even cooler. I'll answer the occasional question, but don't expect me to teach you Unity. I don't have time for that. Also, my code and project is kind of a mess, but you'll just have to deal with that.

For now, if you'd be interested, speak up. I'd need to clean up a few things and get permission to release the sound assets that I did not create under a creative commons license, and I'd rather not bother if the interest isn't there.

I'm 25. Yay!

I'll be streaming, with camera feed and commentary, my first experiences with Slender, since I'm curious if this is actually as scary to me as it is to other people.

Edit: The Slender stream turned into a Slander stream. Game sucks. I'm playing Day Z now. :P

Edit: Over, saved here: http://livestre.am/42Cxk

Though, honestly, nothing extremely eventful happened, so I won't be posting much about it! It was fun hanging out with all of you, and as for all of the people who followed us to Max & Erma's, I'm sorry that didn't work out. The AC con book said they were open until midnight, but their site said they closed at 7 and they weren't picking up their phone. I went there with a very small group the next day and they were as good as I remember, and way cheaper! Next year, I'm definitely going again. As for the rest of the con, I dunno. It was just AC again. I'm beginning to think AC is too big, and it really sucks that I don't have time to hang out with everyone. Also, the creep factor somehow ramped up quite a bit this year. It's still a fun con, and I'll still go, but FWA and Fur Fright are way more fun.

I'll be attending FA:U next. While I'm not a HUGE fan of the con itself, a bunch of my friends go, since it's in my home state, so I don't feel like missing it. I'll also be doing a panel on getting started in game development. I'll just be going over some free software a bit and motivating people to give making games a shot, because it isn't as hard as you might think.

Oh! And if you have pics of me in suit, show me! :D

This is something I did a while ago, but was never really too satisfied with. Anyway, I uploaded it separately from the old one, so you can still download the other one if your PC can't handle the UBER 1337 graphics of the new one.

Hey everyone! I'm going to AC! Yay! I'll be getting there on Wednesday and staying at the Westin. Who should I expect to see there? Also, instead of doing a meme, why don't you guys ask the questions and I'll answer them? That'd be more fun! :D

I run a pretty popular vore-themed club in Second Life called "The Second Life Vore Club". Yeah, the name is very unoriginal, but it was the first vore club in SL, started in 2005, and we can't change the group name. ANYWAY. It's plenty popular, but I have this problem. Everybody wants to be staff, but nobody wants to DO ANYTHING. Basically, we have plenty of security, but nobody is interested in actually managing it.

I'm a super busy guy these days, with the club and otherwise. As much as I want to give people some stuff to do, events and stuff, I can't dedicate the time to it. I tried sending out notices and stuff, but I can't really seem to find anyone qualified for this kind of thing. I could really use somebody to help run events, manage event staff, things like that. We could use more events like tail sales and themed RP nights. Right now, we really have nothing but going on. People just hang out there.

The place isn't really a "club" anymore, as much as a themed RP area with a tavern in a gave, docks with a pirate and smuggler ship, a swamp and a native village. It's an RP destination, more then anything else, but we still need to give people stuff to do, and we don't currently have anyone willing to do that.

I don't know. I just want the place to be able to exist without me keeping my eye on it constantly. I need more active managers, because we currently have nobody like that. If you feel like you might be interested, get in contact with me and we can talk more about it.

And since it's honesty day or whatever, I'd just like to say, and I mean no disrespect, that I don't want to hear your excuses for why you can't help, and I don't want to hear any anti-SL stuff. Guys who can't help, I totally understand. I'm overwhelmed myself. Guys who don't like SL, I've been using it since 2005, so just save it, because I probably know exactly what you mean. Again, I mean no disrespect. I just have a giant headache over this already.

Now that all of the features I really wanted are in there, it's time to open up for suggestions on what to do next. I still want to add a slower, more intimate eating animation for when Amp is hypnotized, but what else should I add? I've heard people suggest interior and POV cams. Any preferences?

How exciting! I'm still not done with it, so consider this a preview for the constriction part. I also added a donate button, just in case anyone wants to show their appreciation!

I'll be getting there Thursday and staying through Monday. Who should I expect to see?

So when I released 'Nyan Cat!' for iOS, a bunch of people came forward asking why it wasn't on Android. The answer? I didn't have an Android device or a license for Unity Android, and those cost money I didn't have. Recently, I was able to get everything I needed for $600 and release 'Nyan Cat!' on Android for $0.99.

The iOS version was free, yeah, but this includes both in-app purchases, so in a way it's half-off. I didn't want to put in-app purchases in the Android version with that one company suing everybody under the sun. We dodged a bullet with the iOS version because they never actually responded to our response when they asked to settle with us. So yeah, 'Nyan Cat!' on Android is a complete version that includes everything and will include anything released in the future.

So, uhh, long story short, sales really, REALLY blow. More people wanted this app then bought it. I've sold, like, 6 copies total over the past few days. One copy yesterday. People are just not finding it. It's not that people just aren't interested any more. I get thousands of downloads and hundreds of sales each day on iOS. If anyone out there is interested, please download it. Maybe it'll pull the app out of the pile of crap a bit and get it noticed. Reviews would help too!

If you have an Android device, you can get the app here: https://market.android.com/details?.....m.ante.nyancat

It'll be on the Amazon store as well, once it gets through their approval process. I developed this on a Kindle Fire and I want Kindle Fire users to be able to get it without having to go through all of the trouble of installing Android Market on it.
