Last post by Countess Scrapula (crimsonkero) - May 9, 2026 09:31 AMQuote from: rtil on May 9, 2026 02:20 AMare you using the pixel tools plugin to make the pixel art?
Yes I did, though it's not without limitations, so I've been using it less.
1. The eraser doesn't 100% line up with the freehand tool (it's off by ~0.1 pixels), so I don't use it.
2. It lacks certain tools such as dithering, though I discovered that if I undo, only half the pixels undo, leaving horizontal strips
3. Flash crashes pretty often, so I get weary about losing progress.
For background art (or larger animations spanning the whole screen), I use Piskel, which works in the browser and spits out bitmaps I can then import into Flash, then PixelTools for smaller bits.

Last post by Ayyyyy - May 8, 2026 03:59 AMI liked making this one, I havent listened to K-OS in a long time, not since joining TBA not since 2009 not since film festival. Music wasnt always my thing ; a lot of people tried to gate keep etc.
K-OS was on muchmusic, I was lucky to catch "heaven only knows" when I was in the hospital for uhh "owning myself". This was 2002 so its nbd. More things would make me upset later onhahahaha.
Edit: minor update, 3rd and final coming soon.

Last post by Countess Scrapula (crimsonkero) - May 7, 2026 06:21 PMI'm still working on the series. Had some setbacks and I'm now aiming for a late May release, possibly June.

Basically, given Cherry's fate in the first movie, the theme here will be about getting a second chance, with both Cherry and the captain trying to rectify both their mistakes or risk death. Only one will make it out with the Great Leader's scroll in hand.
I'm undecided on whether to title the episode "Deep Sea Rogue" (which pertains to the episode's setting), or "Second Rogue" (which I feel fits the theme of getting a second chance.) Let me know what you think.
Here are some more teasers
