Who I hope the 5 Smash DLC characters will be.

Did you already hear about new Yume Nikki thing that Kadokawa is making? We're not sure if it's an anime, manga, novel, game or what, but if you search ''yume nikki'' tag here on tumblr, you can see it there!

Yeah! It’s kinda mind-blowing to see anything regarding Yume Nikki anymore. I’m hoping it’s an anime, but I’m not going to get my hopes up.

I hope this question doesn't bother you (feel free to ignore this if it does) but I was wondering if you will start working on Dream vs Dream again? It's okay of you don't, but it's just I never heard something about an hiatus, about just dropping it or... anything, actually. So just knowing what happened is enough for me. Thank you!

I don’t know when was this sent, tumblr has always been pretty shit at notifying PMs/Asks so sorry in advance if you sent this months ago

The thing is, it’s in an indefinite hold. I feel a bit responsible myself because I haven’t properly left the team. I can’t say the same for other spriters/artists but I remember 1 or 2 leaving and some not active anymore like me. The lead programmer also hasn’t properly announced that she’ll be stopping the development, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

I do want a proper closure on this project if anything.

edit: If anything, I just want to thank the fans for supporting it all this time and many many thanks for the artists and contributors who built many things from scratch. DvsD felt more and more impossible the more I think about it but it’s amazing that it managed to progress this much. We had a lot of passionate members in the project but honestly, I just want to see them use their talents on something original and not fan made.

I heard DvsD is sort of a cancelled project now. It's an unfortunate situation but the game was really REALLY cool from what i've seen so far and it's a huge pity... I get that it takes a lot of time and stuff but hey do you think DvsD could be continued on if there were more people to help with it?

I really don’t see it being developed by the same people anymore. I just don’t think it’s really feasible. So to answer your question, probably not.

It’s a shame really, because a decent amount of Urotsuki was animated out.

I really like your hitspark animations, my guy. *u* Might I ask what program you use to make them?

Thanks! Usually my process is to make simple parts in Photoshop, more complex parts in After Effects, and then combine them all together with some fixes in Animate/Flash. Then it’s brought back into Photoshop for color-correction and further tweaking.

is it true? is DvsD really dead? people seem to talk about it that way :-(

Probably

Hey! How's it going?

All’s good. I’ve been making some effects I can’t really show for Smash Crusade. When its next update is public, I’ll be able to post some of the stuff I’ve made. 

I’ve had stuff to upload here for weeks, but tumblr won’t let me upload images for some reason. Even if I post them somewhere else and copy the image link, it still won’t accept it...

Going off of this, whenever I post an effect made for it, take it with a grain of salt. I just liking making effects in its style every once in a while. It offers a lot of freedom and experience.

Ay, is DvsD project going well? I kinda crossed by posts of one of you guys leaving, I didn't get to read it all, but I hope they and you are good!

It’s in an indefinite limbo from my understanding, unfortunately.

I wanted to try making Smash 4′s “Death Hit Spark” for awhile now. I had trouble getting the correct “flow” for the lightning, so it’s far from perfect. I think it turned out pretty cool all and all though.

I just bought GraphicsGale and wanted to try it out. So I made my boy Lucas as some practice in it.

If you want to use it for whatever reason, feel free, just give me credit.

.flow AKA my eyes need a tetanus shot.

Nice to see I’ve improved at least a little.

So... How are you doing? And how's the DvD project?

I’m alright. In terms of DvD, I’ll just tell you what I told the last person who asked.

The best way to describe it would be in limbo I guess. I've talked with our main/sole programmer about it and according to him, he's had very little time to work on the new engine. Probably because he's in the process of getting another game done to be sold on steam.We've also lost a lot of morale since our stage designer left as. That entire ordeal was exhausting to say the least... They also thought it would be appropriate to delete some stuff from our dev dropbox, so that didn't really help. After that conflict was I guess "resolved," I got a little angry with the group as a whole for how the situation was handled by both parties and took a hiatus for myself to work on my own stuff for a little while. But I haven't left the group.So I wouldn't say the game is totally fucked (at least not yet) but at the same time, nothing is really getting done at the moment, so I wouldn’t consider it in a good spot. Personally, I want us to make a final push to get Urotsuki done and just drop the project, because getting anything passed her done seems kinda unrealistic. And I'd rather the work everyone's put into the project pay off, at least to a degree.I hope that clears some stuff up. Our group is pretty ragtag to say the least.I’ll probably regret saying some of these things later, but I mean... it’s what happened. There isn’t much that can be done about it at this point.
