People still like 1 and 2 best and it drives us nuts! Not anymore though…

Well, as Jordan and I were talking, we’ve been wondering why the older episodes are way better received than the episodes we’ve been recently calling “superior.” After some deep searching we’ve come up with some reasons why Episodes One and Two are thought of so well.

PHANTOM MASCOT!!!!

PHANTOM MASCOT PART1!

That’s right! This whole time I’ve been working on it. I figured I wouldn’t say anything to surprise everyone. This is only part one as you know. Part 2 will be done AFTER WOH (Warriors of Hyrule). Phantom Mascot is actually a sequel to WOH which is a sequel to TL (Twin Links). So now we gave the fans what they wanted: A big Twin Links series. Although this one has nothing to really do with TL it should
have something to do with WOH. So I give you Phantom Mascot!

Ahhh- Summer

Everyone enjoying their summer?

I definitely am (although I wish it was winter again — less sunlight = happier dstcoyote22 :D ), but perhaps I’m enjoying it too much. I must admit I’ve been pretty lazy lately, and I’ve barely gotten any work done for the next video project.

Well, I owe you guys something for my laziness, so here it is:

The official title of the next video project is: Legend of Zelda - Warriors of Hyrule. It is a continuation to Twin Links, and it will take more than one published youtube video to fill in the space.

That’s it for now. Feel free to crack the whip at me if you must :)

HAPPY B-DAY ZELDAVALLEY

December 19 is the Birthday for JMAP Productions, but May 22 is the date JMAP decided to make a blog about zelda and our videos. This was primarily a response to the sad departure of ZeldaBlog (which is now up and running since April 2008 ). and a bunch of people who were frequent visitors then decided to make their own blog about Zelda. This place is a bit different because it acts as headquarters for our videos, and gives inside viewers the scoop.

As we look back on some of the posts in the early months, there was frustration over the visitors who never came, or those who came and said nothing. In this little wordpress world, I noticed that Super Mario Blog and Zelda Heaven always had frequent posts and comments when they had started, we didn’t; and like the kid who sees that his friend has all the stuff that HE wanted, of course it was pretty frustrating.

We were never sure if people ever came at all. The only two visitors who ever said anything on occasion were Light Walker and Mario64Mario. While we were happy with the company, of course we always wanted more. Then we had noticed that a bunch of blogs started to get deleted for various reasons. We decided not to delete ours despite the fact that on some days no one ever added to the hit counter. I believe that was a good decision in the long run.

As of recent, there has been consistent activity. This site that once had posts that said, “Is there anyone out there” now gets frequent posters and responses. This site that sometimes had absolutely no visitors now averages up to 30-40 hits a day. True, we’ve only recieved roughly 7,700 visitors over the year, rather small compared to some other wordpress blogs such as Pokemon Gamers Blog, Legend of Mario, and Fire Emblem Blog, but for the two main people here, myself and JMAP, we’re thankful for the number of hits we’ve received so far, and hopefully the activity will never die down.

Of course, that wouldn’t be without the support we’ve gained over the past year.To all of you who have become frequent visitors, we thank you!

Now, since this is a site about our projects, I guess I can insert some video news into it as well.

Since the script for the new video project is being agreed upon, I’ve begun the character design stage. I’ve begun my drawing on paper, and will be giving returning cast members more life from small makeovers. One character in particular that is undergoing a small makeover is Link himself! Sometimes in Twin Links, his fuzzy edges had transparent color fills, and you can easily see them if you look for them. I’ve been trying to make Link’s edges a lot sharper and less fuzzy. On top of the returning cast members, we will be adding many characters, including several surprises. Most of them are familiar characters you’d find in any Zelda game, but since our videos are essentially fan fiction come to life, we have taken the liberty of adding characters made up by the writers for this video.

That’s it for now, until next time…

^m^ -_- ^m^

Liero Xtreme anyone?

yo, outside of our video stuff, Jordan and I have been playing Liero Xtreme alot.

If you don’t know what it is, it’s a freeware game you can download with ease.

It’s basically a fast paced, 2D shoot-em up game.

If you’ve ever played “worms”, this is essentially worms in real time. It’s an 8 bit game where you use your keyboard to move your guy around, and you pick a maximum of five out of arsenal of weapons to choose from and try to kill the other guys with it.

You have special modes to choose from, ranging from using modern weapons, to weapons used in 8 bit games, to using classic Mario and Zelda weapons against each other. Not only that, but you have special skins to choose from, so you can play as a variety of characters, ranging from mario, yoshi, link, and plenty others!

The big thing though, is that it can be played online, and you can challenge people around the world, which becomes way better than playing against the computer once you get good.

Check out the game here. The version you want to download is v0.56b, it has all the online play and is currently the best version there.
This brings me to my next thing. JMAP and I have formed a clan, and we’re using our production name as our clan name.
If you would like to join us, make a profile character that contains the following symbols: [JMAP] …followed by your name.

for example, my clan name is [JMAP]Dstcoyote, and Jordan’s clan name is [JMAP] -_-

Hope to see ya there!

Back from Metallica ^m^

(The following is a message I posted on the Metallica Fan Club Message Board, it has been edited to suit the readers of this blog here.)

I’ve just gotten back.

A very great show from the boys. I got there around 7, so I only got to catch Scars on Broadway, which imo sucked. Nobody there seemed to care about them either.

A fellow Metallica Fan Club member helped guide me to get near front and center during SOB, and by the time they were done, I was one person behind the rail. When the guys came on I was stoked! My heroes were mere feet in front of me.

Yup, I can hear it now…

Do you see what I see

Well, thanks to the wordpress support, they told me that having tags in the posts made the sidebar to drop on the main page.

So next time anyone writes here, don’t use tags. Okay? Okay! :P

I’ve also figured out how to fix the page, so we’ll be heading back to normal in no time!

A little overview about the next video project.

I have some bad news, but the good news clearly overweights the bad. Continue reading ‘A little overview about the next video project.’
