The last of ''about:''s. Unfortunately, my progress from last months... my... caring about projects... well, I have feeling that writing about Mad-n II would be completelly beside the point. I did not work at it, it did not change since last time, so what do you want to hear? OK, I'll try to sum it up:
1) As before, I rate months. The lazy times from last month are over, the nightmare does not continue. I am fully back at animating. Still, I did not hardwork during the WHOLE last month, so May gets 4/10 from me.
2) 24th June. Wouldn't it be stupid to do nothing special on this day? It would. You'll get a preview for Mad-n II.
3) Ah, the collabs... deadlines are around the end of June, so this will be something like a ''collab month'' for me. After finishing all the parts, I am going to go straight for having Mad-n II done. Quite busy holidays... like last time XD.
4) The time plans, progress, keeping you updated and so... you know... this bores me. There are many things to do for me and I'll just do them. OK? It is the same for Mad-n II's deadline. I have some plans, but just let me live, I'll tell you when something important happens... or OK, I'll tell you now:
5) About Mad-n II:

Preview: 24th June
Musics: here
Story: You'll see... but, here's a trailer:
Before Mad-n I, Kreyd was both a soldier and a mage, but he put his energy in a disc for some scientists. The 010 sect(with blue belts) stole it, so Kreyd entered their fortress to get it back. After Halu left Kreyd and Kreyd's machine was destroyed, he must try to get it just with guns and weapons. Without any powers. Unless he meets his main enemy, Ereus, the 011's main and very powerful warrior, his chances to survive get the disc are quite high, but he has to beat gefusers(weak mages), laser-cannon-watched laboratories, go through the fortress's canteen, . . . . .
(Do not think this is just another 'I must get the microchip/CD/disk/some random machine series! This goal will be ended(achieved or so) in THIS animation.)
Oh... you still remember that FAKE.
24th June - UPDATE
Yeah, that sophisticated scene was a fake. It won't end like that. When I think about it, the final epic scene will be even gorier than the pic. But it won't have such 'now he has no chance' moment.
Bad new: My brother got a computer, but not a monitor, so now I work only with one. Not a problem after all.
Good new: My brother got a computer... :D :D :D NOW THIS MACHINE IS ONLY MINE. Holidays. 5+ hours of animating a day. YEAH.
So... I promised you a preview? Yeah. I worked very hard on it today. Here's my story XD:
There was a problem during making the animation(after an hour of work, the flash suddenly shutted down, so I had to get decompiler and get the lost scenes from SWF.)
There was a problem with having it done. The final fla was so big that I had to quit other programs to complete it. I lol'd when it said ''there is not enough memory available'' when trying to insert a keyframe.
There was a problem with converting. All my programs were lost after installing Windows 7, so.... no converter, no decompiler, and so. When I found converter, I realized I have no codecs to convert the swf into avi. The ''no quality loss conversion'' had 1.7GB. The basic compress had 260 MB while looking like a 16-colors video. Finally, I decided to install the codecs. Nothing happened, so I decided to upload the stupid 260MB thing, when I decided to open VirtualDub once more. They appeared! Yeah.
Wait, VirtualDub? Ehm, the converter was unable to actually convert something into video, so I had to convert it into image sequence. VirtualDub made the rest - image sequence into video.
So, is this how the preview was made? No, there was another problem. The major problem which lasted for months - I do not know my YouTube password... :D :D
The 'youtube account problem part' deleted. I FINALLY LOGGED INTO MY OLD ACCOUNT XD. YEAH.
OK, this was today's story. Now, I guess you want the preview. I present you . . .
.

Enjoy. I like how it looks... but for me, it is more like ''what i've done'' than ''preview''. It contains... 60% of Mad-n II? :D :D OK, not so much, but I think you know what I mean.
Here's a REAL screen from Mad-n II. It is here for comparing with the whole animation after Madness Day. Wait... what's interesting in this screen? Well, this is THE LAST AND NEWEST FRAME I HAVE DONE NOW.
DIMB
oh Shi poor guy, and look! preview is coming very soon! Pretty awesome, I really can't wait to see this on NG. Hope this is not the end of the protagonist :C
