Hello and welcome back to the hell that is Nopenop writing words on the internet, I'm bored again so you get another installment of it. Brilliant, I know.
Anyway, the point is that recently I came across this relatively epic Homestuck shirt design they used to sell back in the days when Tumblr was a thing people I knew used for things that weren't just portfolio work, and I know what you're all thinking, "Nope, it cannot have been that amazing of a shirt." To which I say, yes, yes it absolutely was.
See, beautiful artwork! None of which I can take credit for so go follow Lexy instead, she made it lol. Now my problem here, was not that the shirt was good, but that it was so good they made it out of the finest unobtanium on our planet, so rare was the shirt that even the mysterious 'resellers' who seem to be injecting viruses into my computer as we speak refused to find it for me.
So I took matters into my own hand.
Using the infamously bad Adobe Illustrator AutoTrace I took the design, crappified * ahem * AUTOTRACED it, realised i don't actually know how to use Illustrator, cried, 'fixed' it in Flash, realised I didn't have any transfer paper left, cried, bought more transfer paper, failed to apply it to a shirt, cried, then finally had a success!
Oh man, look at that shirt, very sexy...
"Wow, that was a load of crap." You continue to say to me. It was, but I'm not finished talking Homestuck right now, we can get onto the information people actually care about (Like the Blocksworld Revival) in a minute, this is my Blog / Journal / News, (depending where you're reading this.) I'll talk about whatever I damn want, and right now I damn well want you to look at these Roxy sketches I did.
Ok, so now that all the latest is out the way here's what's actually been going on since October:
Upon the release of Silent Facility last year I found myself scouted by Fortell Games, a company looking to revive the App we'd made that in, and wanted our help to release it, since then I've been pretty preoccupied with dealing with getting out Steam Keys and Testflight Invites to all the people who pledged on the Kickstarter to test the new version of the game, which has had it's fair share of bugs brought about by switching to a newer Unity version. (Just one of the many things I hate about Unity.) Alongside this I've been running YouTube Tutorials for new players on how to build basic things in the game, moderating the Backers Discord Server and running in person events to gage interest in the game.
To say this has taken up most of my time would be an understatement, as I'd originally planned way back in January to bring some of the characters from Silent Facility into their own animated series, and then just... Didn't. There was just no time in my schedule to do it, so I had to put it on the backburner. But no longer! I have found some help and am now putting together the first episode to demonstrate what the new Nopenop may look and sound like! Here's a preview:

Anyway, I think that's all I have to say for now, I hope to talk to you all again soon!
