Long time no speak! Was wondering if you'd been working on any new stuff since Snowman Slide (suspecting Pico Day project?), but this was an impressive project! Also: might want to get rid of that 'edit' in the playlist link.

Cyberdevil! Nice to see you here! I actually have been pretty active lately! I haven't had the opportunity to post any of it to Newgrounds though.
- I participated in Ludum Dare last weekend. I'm going to make a polished version so I can release it on Newgrounds. (Ludum Dare post on it: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=11407)
- I released a huge update to Mine Blocks 2 on April 1st. It's still in alpha so I can't release it on Newgrounds. (Post on my site http://zanzlanz.com/n/56)
- Every month I have to make a Unity game for my game genres class. I just don't release Unity games though. I could port them to AS3 and release them, but I'm too busy for that at the moment.
- I've been posting a bunch of random small projects on Twitter and Tumblr. They don't really belong on Newgrounds, haha. (Example: http://zanzlanz.com/dump/2015/gibberishSimulator)
- Working on that album still... probably wont get me anywhere, but it'll make me happy to release it :)
- Still developing the Mine Blocks 1 port here and there.
That's about it! School's slowing my progress down, but I'm doing my best :D
And the link is fixed! Thanks!
Seems like you've been as active as ever! :D An official update on the 1st of April!! How did that go? It wasn't met with too much skepticism I hope? Personally I get pretty suspect of anything resembling change or progress or somehow a routine-breaker on that one particular day...
That Ludum Dare game looks like one I'd like to play. Action! Yeah! Hope for medals!
And that Gibberish Generator was pertty cool! :D It's like an endless signature.
Yeah! I suppose I could post news about all those things. It's just weird - external links on Newgrounds seem wrong, since Newgrounds is "Everything" by Everyone. ;)
The update went great! Only a small handful of people voiced doubt (but I know more had silent suspicions). SilverGames was super kind and helped a ton with distribution. The reason I chose April 1st was because it's exactly 2 years since the previous update. <3
Yessir, going to add plenty of medals to ARBF! :D And a scoreboard if the game doesn't lag for people. I want to change the name too, lol!
Gibberish Generator could also be a doctor's note simulation, hehe! Thanks!
Yeah, I get that same feeling. Well, might be more of a will for control over how what I post is handled (backups, etc), but I've stuck to strictly NG related newsposts for quite a while now, which coincidentally means: not much news. But in you're case it's a chance to promote, o course!
lol, how did the last update go? Any more/less suspicions back then? Anniversary's are always special indeed!
What do you mean ARBF doesn't sound like the most intuitive and catchy title you've ever heard before? :P It does have an... interesting piraty tone to it hmm...
lol yeah!
The previous update was actually a April Fool's joke! It had a fake multiplayer option (I made the generator create a "griefed" world and spawn random players walking around). I didn't remove that joke for 2 years.
Maybe if I could name the hero/villain, things wouldn't be so hard! xD
Haha, genius... surprised not more people reacted this time around though if the last one was a joke!
One of my good friends fell for it on the previous update xD He never said anything this year but after the update he was like "oh it wasn't a joke?!?"
Haha! I'm sure more people were just silent about their suspicions.
