So, yeah, I've been writing on everything that I've got in the pipe, progress is being made on CPL - Chapter , Game of Princesses, and what I've got planned for next (either a X in Equestria story, a prequel/sidequel to CPL, or starting another setting), but ...

XCOM 2 guys.

Come join me folks as I bugtest before getting the stream started! Hope to see you folks there!

Edit:

After some technical issues I was able to get a few good hours of play in! Tomorrow I intend to post the blog 20-30 ish minutes before I intend to start (maybe at around 4-ish?) so that folks will have more time to join. Thanks for everyone who joined me tonight!

Evening folks!

First things first, a bit of news regarding this weekend's streaming. Due to a doctor's appointment tomorrow night, I'll be getting started a little bit later than usual. That means Tomorrow, 08/03/2018 the stream is going to start at 7:00PM CST and will likely go until around 10-ish. Come join me when you can!

They're baaaaack.

I meant to post this yesterday but had a splitting headache. :S

As most people who will be reading this are aware, XCOM 2 will be coming out in a little over a month. With it comes a promise of mod support that is extremely reassuring. As more and more news comes out, my plans have been solidifying. I now feel confident enough to share in greater detail the mod I hope to create with the help of some others.

Afternoon again folks!

I'd like to thank everyone who replied to my previous blog, I'm really glad that there's so much interest! With that in mind, all success is 90% planning and 10% execution so I figure I'll start hashing out some details now rather than try and rush things right before I'm supposed to stream.

The Schedule:

Apologies for starting a bit later than usual folks, had some technical issues. But I'm getting things going now. Also, for folks who enjoy the stream, feel free to hit the subscribe button on Twitch. If I can work things out, I'll try and start posting my schedule there so I can stop spamming my blog here.

See you soon folks. :)

Something that makes the waiting of XCOM 2 even sweeter:

Suffer not a xeno to live!

(Yeah, it's not Warhammer 40000, I know, but come on, this phrase is perfect.)

Also, at the end...

OH SHIT!!!

...well ain't that creepy...

The XCOM 2 footage starts around the 1:30:00 mark. My reactions, go!

The video starts off with a bit of the talking heads prefacing the setting for the game: XCOM lost and was shattered, and for the past twenty years they've rebuilt what they could so they could finally strike back.

Edited the author notes on the Shen's Last Gift chapter. I have plans for Markus.

Just posted a couple of videos to YouTube demonstrating my poor judgment in XCOM 2.

First, the mission where I sent six rookies on a Very Difficult supply raid for the sake of getting a certain achievement:

Second, what happens when the game crashes and I restart it... and then forget I popped up the facecam...

I'm re-doing everything. Mostly everything. I'm not happy with the story as is. I've paid attention to the comments pointing out flaws in the story, and I'm gonna try to fix them.

IGN released an article today about mods for XCOM 2. I have to say that I'm -extremely- interested in the process at this point. Depending on how much of an involved process it is, I may have to explore a possible Mente Materia mod. Now involved that mod becomes is going to be dependent upon a number of factors that will come into play once we get closer to release.
