PHEW! These last four months have been nothing but absolute carnage for me! But I am glad the worst of it is behind me now...
To start with: I had to move at one point, which hurt me badly since I was unable to work on Bulldozer Studios regular projects ( such as our 2 newest projects: Sonic Adventure RPG and Battle City ).
What was worse: My homepage was struck by a hacker around a month ago, who also took down my deviantART account and my e-mail. It took until last week to get the homepage back up, so that hampered my projects development badly. Thank goodness I was able to finally recover it...
Even worse: Our former adviser got angry when his idea for a RPG Maker survival horror game was rejected ( for reasons I will not discuss here, less this thread be deleted due to legal issues ), attempted to steal the scrapped prototype for the game, and was arrested and thrown in jail. While this wasn't a HUGE setback, it was very heartbreaking to lose him, since he's stuck with Bulldozer Studios since launch. But I guess if you do the dance, you have to face the music.
But the biggest blow of all: On 2/23/2015, Bulldozer Studios only other staff member ( who went by her Toontown Rewritten Toon's name Miss Melody Dandyberry ) lost her life to a tragic car accident while on vacation in Paris, France. I knew her for over 5 years ( since the days me and her played the original Toontown Online, where we first met ), so this was a crippling blow to me, and the entire Bulldozer Studios community. Her loss still affects us today.
I just thought I'd let you guys know that I'm still here, and I'm still alive. It's just been rough tidings for me lately, but I'm finally starting to get things back under control, so hopefully I will be able to actively participate in the Vizzed community again without anymore wacky interruptions.
I hope your all doing well, and I hope to see you guys soon. ROCK ON!
