Hello, everyman. It's been a decent minute since I last informed you all on what's been going on. Here are some interesting tidbits:

Madness Day

I have made some small, but sweet contributions this year, no real magnum-opuses, but still I think I've made some enjoyable things. First off, we have madness angerness, which is my greatest project yet. Think of it as a remastered version of a movie I was making about 7 years ago.

Second, Project: Enmeshed. I was recruited by KiwiWii to help her out on her cool Madness visual novel. She was making a trailer and she needed music, so that's what I made. Check it out if you're interested.

Third, EXHAUSTED. Buran messaged me one evening saying that he needed music for a tiny madness day movie, so I've contributed a bit to the cause.

I'd like to share some thoughts about this year's madness day. I think it's pretty great and I'm happy to see that people are still creating great projects and grinding away at making great things, but I can't help but feel like people might've gotten a bit TOO good at animating. Let me explain, I was feeling quite open-minded so I decided to check out some of the collabs coming out this year. I couldn't sit through most of them without skipping forward. Genuinely, I don't mean to be an ass or to downplay the immense amount of effort everyone has put into their work, but so many of the clips that I see are sooo bland and uninteresting it's not even funny. And the strangest part is that a lot of them are very well animated, like, smooth as butter. I feel like Madness has reached a point where just being good at animating can't carry an animation anymore. A lot of clips feel like the most base-line shit ever, like the most basic madness formula you could imagine - "guy walk into room, shoot guys and leave" It would be kind of great if maybe the clips or collabs could have a unique setting to it or something more to it than just shooting shit and leaving, but maybe I'm asking for too much, since I know how hard it is to commit to a project like that. I know for certain I won't ever animate anything like that.

Regenesis EP

Regenesis is the album I've wanted to make for a while. It's sort of a throwback to my older styles and I suppose you could call it a "return of SentryTurbo"

Yep, you heard that right, SentryTurbo is coming back, but not in a way you'd expect. I've noticed my music can greatly differ in terms of mood, atmosphere and genre so I decided to fix that by bringing back the name SentryTurbo. Think of it this way, vlowoid will be a hub for more personal and gloomy, atmospheric music whereas SentryTurbo will be a place for electronic bombastic music you're all very acquainted with.

Fog of Life: Expeditionist and the consequences of the Unity De-evolution

Fog of Life: Expeditionist is my latest long-term project that I've been working on. It's a spin-off of my game series Fog of Life, with it's own different gameplay style. The unfortunate fact is that I've been using Unity to develop the game and that the game might be a bit too ambitious for me to handle, once again. So, before the whole Unity shitstorm happened, I downsized the game from being an FPS to a top-down action shooter. And low and behold, we all know what happened afterwards. Safe to say, I'm very open-minded to switching to Godot and I've been tinkering around with it for a little bit, and I like it. This means that It'll take way longer to make the game.

>life

It's been a while since I've shared any personal news. I am now a student, studying computer science in a university. It's been pretty okay so far and I think I've got a decent footing now on how things work and what I should be doing. The main takeaway from this is that I'll more than likely be way less active in terms of work relating to my creative projects. I just hope you people understand why things are starting to slow down so much, mixed in with an awful depression that keeps coming back in a loop over and over again and there being some pretty bad burnout sometimes. But don't fret, I'm trying my bestest to do at least something every now and then, just that it's taken a bit of a backseat. It's also my 20th birthday today.

no one cares ok thank you i look like a broken cartwheel and smell like molten uranium

feel free to join my crap discord server

server link

Seeing as I don't post very often, as a way to keep in touch with my 2 fans I have created a new discord server once again. Feel free to join. It's meant to be a simple hub for my projects and also a way to get in contact with me, share your own creations and discuss anything.

i already used to have a server previously but it got destroyed... this server probably wont last more than a month but i guess it wouldn't hurt to have an easy place to reach out to me. feel free to join. no corporate bullshit or a 256 page essay of rules you have to abide by.

the future:

lately i've been struck with a ton of work and stress which has severely worsened my productivity and motivation to do things so everything is slowing down immensely. i will be taking my time to do everything i can at my own pace which is really, really slow.

no one cares ok anyway i smell like a forklift that suffered from intense engine failure and my wife died in a car crash

Hello, dearest <USER_ID>.

It might be in your interest to know that I previously removed all my Spotify submissions. Do not fret, though, it was only a temporary occurrence for I had to make some background changes. Some of the songs you might've liked are now back on Spotify, specifically on the album "Definition"

On top of that, there are some other songs that weren't available previously, such as "Adrenaline" and "Anniversary" as well as songs that were not released anywhere.

Feel free to recommend any songs you'd like to hear on Spotify in the future.

The closure album I mentioned previously in older news posts is canned and I am starting from scratch. The game I am making is still in slow progress.

no one cares ok

sup friends, it's been a minute since my last news post so i might write up a new one to keep anyone who cares up to stuff

so, it's been 2 months... wait what? 2 months passed ALREADY?? it's APRIL?? what the world? time sure flies huh.. i've hit another one of those points in life where every day passes by like a beat without anything truly special happening. previously i'd get very upset by such a thing, but i've gotten used to it. while time might fly real fast, i can't say the same about work.

i've noticed recently that i get tired really quickly. like, i come back home, make myself a nice warm meal, enjoy said meal and then go to sleep for like 3 hours. i can't help it either, i just get struck with a sudden burst of tired-ness for some reason. maybe it's got to do with my sleep schedule, which is probably the reason, but i can't say for sure. what i can say though is that it disrupts my work. i've been slacking reaaaal bad. it honestly feels like im in my "mid-development hell" of life.

as slow as work might be going, i do have 2 projects being slowly cooked little by little. one's an album and the other is a game. the album is essentially going to be the closure album to "SentryTurbo". it'll be a little bit of everything, with a mix of something else if you know what im sayin'. progress is REAL slow on it though so it WILL take a real long while to make. after said album, i will no longer post anything under the sentryturbo name. the few tracks i've made so far a few select people seemed to have liked, so i hope everyone else will like them too.

the second project i previously mentioned, the game, is going to be a simple boomer shooter akin to quake. i'm currently in the middle of making a slick level editor for it that i'll be using to craft every level in the game AND i'll be letting any old schmuck use as well. i'm planning to make the game very moddable, if you couldn't tell. just trying to make it decent enough for people to have some creative freedom while also having it be somewhat restricted, just so it isn't a whole game engine of it's own. i've managed to port half life 1, DOOM as well as counter strike maps into the level editor, so you'll be able to go real damn crazy with the level geometry. the sky's the limit!!!

Level Editor Test

Woid Life 1

Test Vid

that's about it, not much else to say. i'll see you guys later.

i relisted some old music on this here website

anyway, i've released a new game called Fog of Life 2 on itch.io and gamejolt

you can play it with friends over the internet (its multiplayer??????????) !!!!

im not going to dump a whole description of it here since im already shamelessly advertising my own shit that isnt even out on this website so you can read up about it on the following pages:

>>>itch link<<<

>>>gamejolt link<<<

trailer??????????????????

what will the future hold? we will see soon (or not)

until then, have a good dayweekmonthyear

yo!

i made a small archive with a few songs that i unlisted from newgrounds (in the space from 2019-2021)

it's not all of them of course, but there might be a few that you might've liked, some that i never released and some that were made for others and will (probably) never get used

have a good day

My shitty ass animations are about madness combat
