Hey Newgrounds, Nano here. No, this isn't an update on the creative side of things, but rather misc. things if that makes sense. There are a few things I'd like to talk about in this post:

What I want:

So to start, I want this https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Charging-Screen-Mirroring-Capture/dp/B0DBSND34P?s=electronics dock that is able to record gameplay! It should be a great match, along with a high-size microSD card, for my incoming Steam Deck 1TB OLED to record gameplays from! The idea is enticing to me since if all goes well, I want to->

MUGEN:

Record MUGEN gameplays! Chances are when I return to YT, that that is a category for me to expand to. Either me vs.ing other characters and or pitting them against each other in Watch mode.....being that I can update the character roster and stages, could be a good way to keep the channel active in between sprite animation projects, my core offering there.

What I've been playing and what I want to play more of:

So yesterday, I made an epic comeback in RE0 remastered which prompted me to make progress in the replay of the game! So fun and tactical. I also made a tiny bit of progress in DMC3 Switch ver. I was close to making additional progress, but didn't make it far enough to save. But now I have an idea of what to do for next time! I want to play more Ghosts n Ghoblins Resurrection, which is easy to learn, hard to master kinda thing. I wonder if I can clear an area....XD who knows. It's brutal b r u t a l lol, so we will see....

Hey Newgrounds, Nano back in my original creative home, aka Newgrounds! Due to Youtube's rollout of A.I. to determine user's age, I will attempt to refrain from using it, starting today. To keep up with my creative projects, mainly sprite animations, check on here mainly. Besides, I have catching up to do not just with uploading projects I forgot to upload on to here, but I am cooking up another interactive project! So that should hopefully find it's footing on here when it's done.

Nano here, and good morning to all.

In this more personal post, I want to elaborate a bit on why I still cherish and hold on to Newgrounds after all this time.

I'm still not that close to the current Newgrounds community, something I wish to amend and am taking steps to amend :]. Ironically it's been this way for a long time....only that now, I see it's something I want to change and fix.

So I'm in a position right now that I upload my creations, mostly sprite animation videos, and they seem to be pretty "fire and forget" in that I upload them as a record of the time period I made them. Then when I re watch them, they're like a journal that reminds me of the previous years in which I made them.

But......every once in a blue moon, something changes! That epic Newgrounds notification system fires off in full force, indicating that someone had something to say about my works, or followed, etc...anyway, those interactions, although rare, really do make my day when it happens! So thank you those that interact visibly with my works :3.

That, combined with the epic legacy of this website on the internet and being the place that taught me about Flash when I was still in the 4th grade.....simply immaculate. I hope to keep sharing my works to here for as long as possible!

By the way.....here's an update on my latest project, Megaman X vs. Zombies Season 2 Episode 3 :]

As the blog title says, I resumed the production of Megaman X vs. Zombies Season 2 Episode 3!

Hey everyone, Nano at it again!

I just published my newest sprite animation, Zero the Hero! Hope you enjoy it. It's been in production for almost a year lol, worked on and off on it. Random, but in the beginning of it's dev cycle it was more X5 themed, then later on I made it more like X4. I'm very happy with the results overall :] and hope yee enjoy it as I did making and watching/rewatching it :3

Hey NG, Nano here! In a new move, I now am DeviantArt Core+ for the purposes of curating my many sprite animations down into an easily viewable set of "Nano selects" that takes the best of my older and current works for easier viewing rather than manually sifting through my existing Newgrounds/Youtube libraries of works to find good stuff from me. It's a fun experiment so far and hopefully will find new fans in the process as well! For anyone curious about this endeavor, https://www.deviantart.com/nanosoftanims is my DeviantArt account with this curated set of animations by me so far. Don't worry though, my Newgrounds and Youtube libraries will remain as is, and they will still be updated with the latest and greatest by me :3

Hey Newgrounds, Nano here with some updates. I'm back to being an ordinary user for one. But besides that, I plan to put out a one-two punch of sprite animations! One is a Megaman X animation, and the other one is a Zero one! No ETA on them, they're done when they're done.....or not? We will see how that goes XD Something else I've been experimenting with is the field of 3D with Blender. I did make an IK rig of Megaman X!

It still has wonkiness to sort out being the legs are like merged together and stay stuck when trying to move em. Bleh but that's how it is in the beginning of learning a new field, lots of failed experimentation like that lmfao. Hopefully I can get to a point in the future where I can make 3D battles comparable to my sprite animations that focus on action fighting :3.....that's the dream! So that's the recent scoop on me, and I hope you anticipate my future sprite projects as I try to pave a 3D path forwards creatively too! :D -Nano
