Hi everyone. Our large-scale DOD:S and GMOD 10 machinima Soldiers of Misfortune goes well, and it should be completed sometime this October. Early to the middle of the month. Here are some screenshots. Again, I don’t want to give away much about the film other than it is more serious than probably everything we’ve done in that it’s A. action oriented, and B. has a story. Now i’m not talking some Saving Private Ryan style drama with some ‘war is hell’ moral slapped all throughout, this movie will of course have its humorous bits. Just think of it as an action movie with a story worth following in the mix. I’m estimating an October weekend release and a 15-20 minute movie. The project has been waay more demanding than i thought (it’s requiring a lot of custom content work) and it doesn’t help that I have college and a job, but it will still be on its way. Just a little bit later than originally planned. More on the film later.

Also we’re doing some more site updates. Expect me to edit this post with some more content in the future, so check back here later, and also check out the visually updated VIDEOS page.

Well, it’s September now so that means back to the boring college/school schedules and routines for just about everyone. But we won’t be slacking in terms of making new videos…hopefully for a while. I know I personally have a job interview coming up that might lead to more detractions from my usual free time, but anyway, enough of that boring real-life garbage and onto what you all want to know. Right now we have at least two videos in mind for this month, one which is well into production and the second is in planning. The first is a Day of Defeat: Source and Garrysmod machinima. I don’t want to say too much or give anything away about it other than it will be mostly action-oriented with some humor. This will be a homage to another film director this time around. Like how HL2 Anxiety and Nightmare were for Hitchcock, this movie will be for another famous name in cinema. It’s been a very demanding project as of late, with a lot of effort going into modding and creating custom content specifically for the large-scale production. I’m going to guess that the video will hopefully be done in about 2 weeks from now and it might be just over 15 minutes long. Next is the fifth episode of the Gman Squad. Again, like Episode 4 – Trams, Episode 5 will be different from its predecessors, but I have a great idea that involves everyone and will set the stage for a community involved contest that, if successful, will play a large role in Episode 6. Should be another hilarious installment and a blast. We’ll begin production on this after the DOD:S machinima is completed. More to come soon.

8/5 EDIT: apparently Crackbone was hit by a car. He was offline for a week and came back today and told us about it. Knowing him, he’s probably OK now. -Xanatos
