Such cruelty.

As the year marches on, so does progress on the film. As of now, I am working on the finale for the Megaplex's Medical Science Department - which will feature some community favorites alongside plenty of violence and gore. I am going to be finishing my college degree this fall semester, so progress will be a tad-bit slower, but I'm still on-track to get to the pre-finale sequence by the end of the year. I'll have lots of dev pics and art to show off on this MD, along with my yearly tradition of ranking as many submissions as Newgrounds lets me cover. I will also be hosting another dev livestream on the 20th of this month, and I'll drop a link to that when the time comes. In the meantime, take care and try not to die.

We're gonna be going live with the stream this Sunday, the 29th at 2PM Eastern Standard Time. Darksignal, Dreadman, and Dachi are destined to accompany me, although the latter-most may be unable to make it due to Guatemalan influence. You'll be seeing more of the Medical Sector, and some new toys that'll bring joy to the hearts of the cruel.

Streaming in 10 minutes, I'll see you folks there!

The AAHW needed a touch-up, here's a sample of the work that has gone into re-imagining them for Maxification 2's art style.

... Restoration In Progress ...

Hello my peeps, I wanted to drop a legit update here since I haven't been posting to newgrounds as often as I have before. This is due to both my IRL job taking up more time than usual due to a large project, and because I've recently become a father of 20 beautiful children.

Possession of Chirp Machines is regarded as an international war crime, equal to that of genocide and mass ethnic cleansing. I managed to get my hands on some thanks to some contacts, as such my plans for world domination have been accelerated. What does this mean for MAXIFICATION 2? Well, they're gonna be taking up a little more of my time than usual until I fully shift them to free-ranging outside, which will be in another week or so, after that is wrapped up I'll be moving back to my usual mind-breaking production schedule. In addition, I'll be hosting a Dev livestream later this week, likely Thursday or Friday at around 2PM like my previous streams - links for them will be dropped here in a news post when the time comes.

- And upon the most auspicious of holidays, I would like to announce the launch of my preliminary world domination strategy. Introducing, the !! 𝗘𝗚𝗚𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝟮.𝟬 © !! Lovingly crafted with 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙖-𝙙𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 and unsustainably sourced vicuña wool, these eggs will fill that hole in your life that you never even knew existed. The burden of free will shall be oh so benevolently plucked from your mortal coil, as your husk of a body is set to serve the ruinous powers of the one true god.

Worried about batteries? Don't sweat it, each egg is powered with a miniaturized Void Cell which allows for eternal, maintenance-free operation which will continue to function far beyond the point where your bones are reduced to ashes. Prolonged exposure to Void energies have been proven to induce uncanny & wildly unpredictable physical symptoms, losing your sense of self whilst your soul is hallowed out in the name of evil is all part of the experience. The 'Agency Against Malevolent Originals' (AAMO), nor its subsidiary 'Ploys R Us' are legally, morally, physically or metaphysically responsible for any crimes committed against local, state, federal, or faith-based laws, regulations and institutions.

Pre-Orders for the Eggs will go live upon the long-awaited release of '𝗠𝗔𝗫𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝟯: 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑭𝑰𝑵𝑨𝑳 𝑴𝑨𝑿𝑰𝑴 ©' set to hit theaters on 𝗤𝟰 𝟯𝟬𝟬𝟬 !!

I held a livestream yesterday with Darksignal & ShootThaCheese, the full recording of the stream and all previous ones are available on my channel for anybody who's interested - lots of MAX 2 footage and goodies to be witnessed.

The Nexus Needed A Facelift.

As the film slides past the 20-minute mark, I'd like to bring you guys up-to-date on the current happenings with the project. I've been spending some of this month working towards finishing a couple landscaping projects I'm hoping to get finished before spring knocks on my door, and that's taken up a lot more time than I would have initially expected.

Even so, any time I wasn't outside laying bricks I've been inside pumping frames into this beast. The more exotic foes and firearms make their appearance the higher up the Megaplex we go, and as we enter the Medical-Science Department you will be treated to some visual delights.

A highly advanced Nexus-aligned faction will make their initial showing here, 'Diorthos' - considered to be Phobos's Royal Guard and the spear-point of the Nexus's technological superiority. These guys were born from the mind of my co-spriter, 'LK Gross' - the same guy who's been working alongside me to upgrade all the old OC sprites of community members. A sample of this work will be featured below, in addition to one of the Heaviest Diorthos units, the "Rioter".

With that out of the way, I will note that I'll be out of the state for a short while sometime this month, but after I return I'm going to be hosting another Livestream alongside my team members just like we did in January and February. On one final note - to all of my Slavic fans, Всем моим русско-говорящим фанатам, Я желаю вам всего наилучшего и берегите себя в столь тяжкое время!

I'm planning another animation / Q&A Livestream tomorrow, I'll have a couple co-hosts with me and we'll be going through questions and discussing development like last time. The stream will start at about 2PM

"How cruel." (Gif Created by Boomnm)

This abominable year is finally drawing to a close, as I'm sure many of you are looking forward to the new flavor of awful 2022 has waiting for us. Thankfully, the kindness of others has helped shelter my brain from the all-consuming blanket of darkness - and as such there have been some heart-warming and jaw-dropping celebratory arts for the sake of my mortal coil aging by another year. Additionally, MAX 2's length has reached 20 minutes - and anybody interested in seeing a couple scenes from the movie should feel free to watch the archived Q&A Livestream. Otherwise, I will feature some of the fanart I've gotten for my Birthday, with names 'n links below where applicable. I also want to give a sincere thanks to everybody who's helped to make this year more tolerable for myself and others, as the sense of a caring inner-community is all that protects us from the pandemonium outside.

I again give a genuine thanks to everybody who's helped me get this far, and all the fans who's legendary patience has my upmost respect.

Stay safe and keep your eyes on the prize, I'll see you on the other side.

I'll be streamin' some animation, in addition to showing off some MAX 2 production materials and some footage. I might make these a more routine event if all goes well.
