Hatchday + Blog update

So, it’s my hatchday (the 35th) and as always, since it's a red letter day for me, I want to announce something. This time, (while I’m still working on the other projects) I updated the blog!

As you might noticed, a new icon has been added on the right sidebar. You can switch languages now between English and Hungarian.

Originally, I planned an English page only, but recently there were a few people who got interested in my blog, but they didn’t speak English. For them, I translated the whole blog, so they can read it too. It was a lot of work, but eventually, I’m so happy that I made this update! Very convenient and now I covered everyone. So no more excuses! :)

I’m planning to do a WIP post soon, a very interesting one, but I’ll need a bit more time. It will worth the wait, cause it will be a great opportunity to see really behind the curtains!

Also, I just bought something that is… umm… let’s just say… This will be amongst the most epic ones and also will be very heavy! Gotta wait a few months to arrive, but when it arrives… Oh boy!

But that’s all for now!

See you on the next post!

Riders, we have a problem! (*April fools joke*)

I have really bad news… There is a great possibility, that my Toothless mod for ARK and my other HTTYD projects (also Pacific Wars) has to be postponed, because one of my drives went bad, so there was a great loss of data. (It was more like an archive drive btw, but I also used it for other projects too. Mostly my personal ones, so maybe this is why the fate particularly targeted that drive which stored my mostly beloved projects... Just for an extra kick in the sack, that’s for sure!) I made backups, but the most recent one is around 3 weeks old. The thing is, I progressed a LOT since then! Very heart wrenching to see all that precise work and care go into nothing. Very sad and I feel a part of my soul also died with those files. I don’t know, if I could redo those animations in that quality again from scratch, but I don’t have a chance. This means I have to delay again, at least for a month. I also feel betrayed, because why it has to happen particularly with those projects! I’m broken inside, utterly disappointed in technology and just feel miserable right now. At a point, I know I will start over, but I need some time to get back on my feet.

I have some footages from the original one though. Now, I pondered about that animation sequence and concluded that, maybe I pushed a little too far… and could be a little more "compact" and optimized. So, the new one won't look anywhere near like the old one, so this is why show you before release. At least not everything is lost! (But it's just a bitter solace).
