I post about once a week on my deviantART page and it feels like I've neglected Newgrounds as far as updates go. I have a fair few projects in the works at the minute and just want to give a bit of informaiton about them and their progress. Bear with me, there's a few at various stages in development so this may be quite long

JUGGERNAUT II: Uprising
This is the sequel to a game that me, MSGHero and Mattlaaa released back in June. It's early days as far as progress goes, but I've got a large amount of the art done. Until recently I would have said about 90% of the art, but I'll lower that to around 75% as we've decided to redesign the menu system in its entirety. There'll be many improvements in this game over the last, some are listed below. Note that this is just off the top of my head at the minute, there are more than this:
- More party members
- More weapons and accessories
- More locations
- Mouse controls
- New menu system
- Overhaulted battles
- Voice acting

I've received voice auditions from about 40 people at this stage, most of whom auditioned for multiple characters. There's certainly a large talent pool to choose from. As I've said, we're not all that far into working on the project, but I'm hoping for a release before the end of the year.

Ender Story
This is an RPG that I'm working on with adamkingdom and Mattlaaa. It's quite different from JUGGERNAUT both graphically and in terms of gameplay, but it'll still feature a turn-based battle system. We've been working on it for a few months and we're close to finishing off the battle system. I'm hoping that we'll have the majority of the game wrapped up in the next six to eight weeks and a release maybe a month or so after that.

It's intended to be the first in a long series of around seven games, but that's subject to change. It'll be relatively story-focused, but I'd also like there to be a bit more of an open world feel to the series after the first chapter. Exploration is something that I've always enjoyed in games and would like to provide that in this series.

Earth Reborn
This is a bit deviation from my typical style. Earth Reborn is an action-adventure similar in style to 2D Zelda games. The idea is that you're living in a post-apocalyptic future and your subterranean home has been invaded by mutants and you've decided to try your chances in the wastelands above. Your aim is to escape by whatever means necessary. The game provides a few choices in dialogue with NPCs which will impact the ending based on your morality. Let's say there's a man wanting to know if the path you came from is clear, you could lie and send him to his death or be honest and tell him he's safer to stay put. The former would give you negative morality points and the latter would give your positive points.

This game is quite far along the production line and we should be wrapping it up in the next couple of weeks. We'll probably spend a month or so looking for a sponsor and then get the game out. It was intended to be a change of pace from the longer projects I like getting sunk into and it's been good fun doing so.

Other Projects
Those were the projects that have had some manner of collaboration already and are likely to come out in the relatively near future. I have a number of other projects that are currently all solo as I've just been working away at artwork, story, mechanical ideas, etc. One of these is a platformer which I've been messing around with for months and is making little progress. I've also started work on a monster catching game similar to early Pokemon games and Digimon World for the Playstation. My most recent undertaking is an isometric tactical RPG game which is a nice graphical experiment for me, the sprites are a lot more detailed than anything I've done before.

Hopefully somebody has found something of interest in here, if anybody wants more information or is looking to collaborate whether that be a programmer, musician, voice actor, or whoever, just drop me a PM or a comment below.

So Newgrounds, how've you been?
