Word Count Update

Still editing a few kinks and shizzle, but here's what we've got...oh btw, I split "Part 2" into Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 because it was getting long and chunky.

Chapter 1 (complete): 3800
Chapter 2 (more or less complete): 4685
Chapter 3 (still writing): 3051

Long Mu and Ma-tsu

As much as I like blabbing on and on (online at least :P) I'll just clone what I posted in my progress thread at LSF, out of sheer laziness of course :P

================================

=3 didn't draw much lately, mostly writing. did a few quick sketches though (nothing spectacular)

Wen Chunyun! (Long Mu) the given name of the historical person isn't recorded, so i gave her one, if/until i find the real name. "Spring Cloud" XD yeah i hope it's not too cheesy, but i do know of someone with that name IRL


Lin Moniang (Ma-tsu) i dunno if she'll even be in the story, maybe a cameo.

Seth v2, Jon and the Marble Fortune Express

Okay, totally unrelated to Deneb, but I updated the Seth sprite (just brushed up a few stray pixels here and there, added 4 more expressions) and made another one. Voilà. Oh and no, I'm not naming them after anyone. Just whichever name comes to mind first.

Other than writing a bit, this is all I did on Deneb today. It's (pretty blatantly) based on the Marble Boat Pavilion in the Summer Palace (IRL, I mean), but in the story, it'll be the other way around. I'd render it in 3D if I owned 3D Studio max, but I don't. I'm trying to learn Wings 3D, it's more user-friendly than Blender @_@. I'm still confuzzled though. lol, this is where the chaff gets separated from the wheat I guess. *must somehow become wheat...*



I wonder what I'll do about the music in Deneb. I'd LOVE to use Jay Chou's Zhong Guo Feng-style songs but that'd be copyright infringement or something. I don't wanna settle for some crappy midi loop...no royalty-free music either, unless it's REALLY good AND fits with the atmosphere. *shrugs*

WOOT

I have another proofreader: chronoluminaire, also a member over at LSF. YAY! :D

YAY!!!!! WOOHOO!!!! YEAH!!!!!! CHUUUUU BOOM!!!!!

I made a thread in the WIP section over at LSF, and was SOOOOOOOO HAPPEH!!! to see people show interest in it! And Sakurazaki-san of R3 Productions even volunteered to proofread! :D :D :D And I was even offered a spot on the R3 team, which I of course accepted! It's not every day that someone asks me that. Must...work...very hard :O :) Now I'm all fired up, hehe.

Here's some of the art I posted over in the said thread (that rhymes)

Tralala. Good night!

Happy 5th Birthday, LSF! (lol @ how no one reads this blog anyway)

It's the Lemma Soft Forum's fifth birthday today! :) So like a lot of the other folks over there, I decided to donate a bit of my time and create something everyone can use.

Here he is. A sprite, whom I have named Seth. Just because. And OMG. If I had known it would be so much more difficult and time-consuming than I thought, I would've...well I dunno.



Here's the PSD file if anyone wants to customize or mess around with the colours and such. GO KRAZAY!!! 8D oh yeah, and the zip file of the pre-rendered sprite.

If anyone does happen to use this sprite, please credit to RisingBambooBanana and link back to http://deneb-project.blogspot.com/

Thanks in advance!
