I'm going to be going away for ten days towards the end of this month. Otherwise I would've set the release date for Planetoid - Chapter 4 for then, but, as such, I'm pushing it forward a few days, and claiming that the release date will be the 8th of July.

Now, if you were on the band wagon with the making of Planetoid - Chapter 3, you would know that the release date we abolished fairly quickly, and pushed forward, repeatedly, for about two to three months.
And I endeavor not to do that again. I hit real turbulence with number 3, and it shouldn't happen again, so we should be good.

I have a Power of Three team. My team mates are F-777 on the music and TheMasterOfSprites on coding.

I also have a Power of Thirty team. And am working very hard so that it will work. As it is a very ambitious project, and I really do hope it will work.

I'm also working on one or two other flash projects. But they're secret.
super secret.
super awesome crazy secret.

And that's about all I have to say today.

I have started on Planetoid - Chapter 4.
I hope to get it done quickly.
A lot quicker than Chapter 3.

And, with each episode, I guaranteed a different style, and this one isn't going to miss that mark.
Here is a sample.

Tell me what you think.

As the title suggests, I am looking for a programmer for the Power of Three.
F-777 is seemingly happy to do the music, but I've told him it will have to come down to whether or not we find an actionscripter.
So if you are one, and you're free, or you believe you're good enough to be on more than one team, give me a yell. it would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, so my next few projects.
Obviously, Planetoid - Chapter 4 is in the works already, after Planetoid - Chapter 3 was found to be a bit more popular, yesterday.
Two other projects, (three if I get power of three going, which would become top priority), include one about a tissue box, and a music clip to a Cats Stevens song, of all people.

It's nice to be able to post to the front page now, as this is the first time I've had this opportunity.

Thanks for your time.

Yes, you saw correctly.
It is done.
it is dealt with.
it is out of the way.

I am estatic.
HERE. IT. IS.

I'm fairly contempt with it.
There's a few shots that I grew impatient with, and didn't want to improve, that really should have been. Some shots don't go with the flow all that well, but I just wanted to get this out of the way.

An apology must go out to Zero123Music, who had edited one of his songs especially so I could use it for this animation, but it was cut within the last week of animating. Sorry. :(

4 days short of 6 months since the first one came out. It took waaay too long, and I apologise.
I feel that the reason for that could be because, plot-wise, it wasn't all that interesting :/
but it was a necessary evil.

Now onto number 4 =.=

In other news, I need a programmer for Power of Three.
Anybody out there?

Please read above and below.
Planetoid 3 will be here shortly.

Since release dates seem to push me to do more work, I'm going to set this one, and hopefully stick with it.
April, the 3rd.
There shouldn't be any dramas, or anything.
Sorry about the delay.
I really want to get this done and dusted.

***Edited April 3rd***
I had today set aside for pure, straight, hardcore animating time, and it got disrupted. Now I'm going away for a week. :/
Hopefully I'll return with the dead set need to GET THIS THING OVER WITH!
I'm as annoyed as you guys, if not more, that this isn't out already.
It's almost been four months :|

I've been delayed, purely because I hit a really hard spot of animating, and I don't want to rush it.
It won't be coming out today.
But it will still be soon.
D: I'm sorry.

These shots are getting harder and harder, as I keep on making myself have to hit a higher benchmark.
crazy.

I announce that, by this time next week (friday)
I will have Planetoid 3 out.
Planetoid 4 should take about a month, hopefully, instead of the four that number three has dragged on for.
I apologise for the delay, and for the plot of number 3.
it is the worst.
that's why it's taken so long, because I find no enjoyment in animating something that has no...good plot.
so I've compensated by putting everything I can into the quality of the animation.

Another announcement, that I've decided, just now, is that Planetoid 5, which was planned to have textures similar to number 1, won't.
So the style of Planetoid 5 will just be the combination of 2 to 4.

I'm also looking for voice actors at this moment. Yes, that's right. Voice actors.
Planetoid was traditionally never going to have any talking, or anything, but it appears that this is a necassary evil.

that is all.

***EDIT***
on a side note, it's interesting to see that Planetoid 1 and 2 just hit the same score. Balancing out at a current 4.31
Who is doing this?
who keeps voting it up?

Planetoids 3 isn't far away at all.
So, in the nature of things, I have artwork to display.
I've quickly thrown together this wallpaper.
if you want a full sized one, send me a message.

***UPDATE***
I have some facts for you, if you care.

-Number 3 will forever be branded as my least favourite installment, but it is a needed evil. It also begins the sub-plots.
-Originally Number 3 was going to be 3, 4 and 5 crammed into one. Now, I'm having enough trouble fitting a third of the original animating into one installment.
-number 4 and 5 will be worked back to back, for ensured continuity, and closer release dates ;)
-number 5 will contain all previous episodes, with the first two being digitally remastered
-My aim is to maintain all music anonymously until the crescendo. By that, I mean, keep to relatively unheard of songs, predominately on Newgrounds, until the climax.
-Number 5 is going to be the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life.

-The first Planetoids was improvised, the second one had an inkling of where the story would be going. 3, 4 and 5 will be a trilogy in itself, with backing plot, and an actual ending.

- I will be finished with Planetoids after chapter 5, but I will be leaving myself one small, little string, a small thread, that no one will notice, so that if I desire to ever return to Planetoids, the option is there.

- All these facts should have gone in a new post instead of just updating this one.

- I spent over an hour just animating a bird flap its wings, just to have flash crash on me.
it's a fucking bitch, but now I have worked out auto save, so everything is safe from now on.

After a bit of turbulance, the busy season of work is now over, and I can get back to devoting every waking minute to Planetoids.
I got back on the horse earlier today, and hopefully I stay on this time.
Thanks for sticking around though.
