Earlier Updates
9 July 2010
Additional revisions to Anima Ex Machina were made just today, which explains why "next week" turned into "a couple weeks later."
On the positive side, chapter six is finally up. You can view it and the revised versions of the other chapters through AEM's index.
18 June 2010
The promised revisions to Anima Ex Machina are finally complete. You can now view changes to the first six installments over here.
Additionally, keep an eye out for chapter six. It should be coming sometime next week.
16 June 2010
As you can probably tell, I've been keeping particularly busy on the affiliates front. I'm very excited to introduce to you our latest affiliate, Kasumi. Now, Kasumi's a special site. Not only has it got a number of well-written reviews about Pokémon and the games, it's got a lot of cool stuff for webdesigners too: graphic and coding tutorials, layouts, graphics galleries, the entire works. So, if you're at all interested in furthering your skills or seeing what Kasumi can do for you on the graphics front, I'd say it's definitely worth your time to check it out.
For once, no actual updates have been made to this site, meanwhile, but I'm pleased to tell you that I'm almost finished with revisions to AEM. You should expect chapters zero through five up tomorrow or the day after. Additionally, this means I can finally push forward and edit the other four chapters that haven't been released on the website yet. Keep an eye out for those as well in the next couple of weeks.
15 June 2010
So, I would do this usual thing where I tell you that I've affiliated with people and do a bit of advertising about each individual site, but, uh, I got a little enthusiastic in the past few days, and we now have three new affiliates. First up, we've got Glacidia Forums, a board run by a bunch of very good friends of the BBS staff. You'll find a growing community of fanfic authors, fanartists, and everyone in between there. Pretty snazzy. Second, you've got Anime & Pokémon Inferno, a one-stop shop for information and news about Pokémon and more. Also, it's got a snazzy community with thriving wi-fi forums, discussion areas, and more. Last but certainly not least is In a Pokémon World. If you've been around the fandom, you've probably heard of it. Yes, it's the site with all the awesome articles defending our good franchise. The very one that attempts to answer all those little questions and notions that parents and other not-quite-informed folks might have concerning the monsters we all know and love.
In short, you've got a brand-new (but very awesome) community, a community full of active members, and one really snazzy and original fansite. In other words, all three of them are amazing. Go take a look when you've got a chance.
Meanwhile, you can expect the revision of the first chapter of AEM (and possibly the revision of the second chapter) later on this week. It's finished; it just doesn't make much sense until I can upload chapter two as well. Also, we finally have a hit counter. Just for the curious.
13 June 2010
I'm back yet again with another update of pretty snazzy news. FireChao.com was cool enough to say yes to our affiliates request, so I'd like to extend a warm welcome and thanks. The thanks is actually multi-purpose. FireChao has a lot of awesome guides all over its site, and it's saved my neck from my own epic fail more than once. So, yeah, I definitely recommend stopping by and checking out what they have to say, especially if you're new to competitive battling or if you're just addicted to click games.
Anyway, the other big update is the update I've been talking about since I started really getting into this entire "revamp the site" business. Anima Ex Machina's rewrite is currently underway. Already, the prologue has been revised and posted. Now, you may be wondering why it looks shorter. That's because, well, it is, as part of an attempt to get away from that "inspired by David Cronenberg" feel that the fic used to have. In other words, the gross and bloody parts are either being taken out or toned down to the point where it's not obviously gratuitous.
Other things to keep an eye out for? I'm filling in massive plot holes I didn't quite catch in the rewrite of this fic, so that's exciting if you happen to like this thing. And, of course, shenanigans.
9 June 2010
An update so soon after that last one? Gasp! However, yeah, I've been working on all kinds of things for the site since about 8 PM on the other side of midnight. First off, I'd like to say to those of you still using IE, sorry about that weird glitch that you guys must've been seeing for about an hour or so. That should be resolved, but if you're still seeing something weird (particularly that banner at the top of the page covering up the menu), don't hesitate to send an S.O.S.
On a more positive note, I'd like to introduce our latest affiliate, Floatzel.net! It's a really informative site with incredibly detailed guides, pretty well thought-out articles, videos to watch, sound clips, and a seriously awesome webmaster. Also, this place is the home of the Anti-Anti-Pokémon Alliance. Don't make me break out the "if you don't like this site, you don't like Pokémon" shenanigans. So, yeah, it's definitely worth a good poking around. You will probably not be bored for awhile.
SRNet might also see a few more affiliate links in the future, but that's an announcement for another time.
8 June 2010
If you don't mind me being a fangirl right now (although, really, what's stopped me from being one all over the updates previously, right?), I'm insanely happy to announce our latest and second affiliate, Pokémon Rebirth. Thanks to Gemma Bright for being awesome in general, and if you have the time, I highly recommend going over there to check out some of the fanfic written by both her and her website staff.
With affiliates like these, I've decided to step up my efforts of making Studio-Revolution.net better than it's been since it launched. Hence, more minor improvements are scattered throughout the site, and the reviewer guide has finally been completely revamped with new material and, well, a less snarky tone. Revisions to AEM should be underway soon, and you might even see the next episode of MPT3000 sometime later this month.
4 June 2010
After a massive hiatus due to schoolwork kicking the tail of yours truly, I'm finally back to work on the backlog of updates. First and foremost, you should notice a pretty obvious change here. To make the affiliates more obvious, first of all, you're now able to scroll down to the bottom of the page to find them in a quick and easy spot instead of jammed all on the left bar over there. Second, we've ditched hover navigations with those annoying-as-mess hover menus in favor of a saner, cleaner-looking menu bar. It's also been reorganized so that some of the links that were by themselves at the bottom are now at a shiny new position at the top. (We apologize in advance if the layout looks like an eyesore on your browser. If something seems weird, don't hesitate contact us.)
That's not all! Minor edits have been made to various pages throughout the site. Additionally, on an unfortunate note, La Blanca is now an invite-only RPG and therefore does not appear in the collective list. However, on a positive note, we now have a sure release date for Keeper, and unlike earlier attempts, we're actually going to be sticking to it.
Also in terms of an exciting update that's actually credited to Camisado and the staff of The BBS, our forums have recently updated to vB 4.0, and our brand-new anime-style battling system has been not-so-newly released. If you have a spare moment, why not check them out?
Finally, there's plans on rewriting the reviewing guide. Likewise, Anima Ex Machina is due for yet another massive edit spree sometime soon. Keep your eyes peeled for brand-new material and the next few chapters.
18 January 2010
The fifth chapter of AEM has just been released. I will eventually get to work on those other updates I said I'd do.
12 January 2010
Gasp! Shock! Could it be true? Could I actually release another chapter of AEM mere days after the last one was released? Yes. Yes, I could.
9 January 2010
The latest chapter of AEM has been posted. We're just a couple of chapters away from actually catching up to where it's been posted elsewhere.
Also, the history page has been revised, as has our affiliate with/link to us page. Which means, really, that the only thing left to do in terms of revising is probably to redo the reviewing guide, and I've got plans to pretty much rewrite parts of it and put it all together so that we don't have four guides that basically say the same thing.
In the meantime, why don't you join our forums for some good old-fashioned member-stalking mayhem?
5 January 2010
And a happy new year to everyone! Belatedly!
Anyway, the only actual update for now is that, as part of me trying frantically to catch up with the forum and FFNet versions of Anima Ex Machina: Redux (i.e., the current version of the fic), I've put up chapter two. Minor edits are still, of course, being worked on.
Meanwhile, in terms of the satellite sites, there's been a pretty massive update to The Legend of La Blanca. Namely, because it's now an invite-only RPG, it's a storage center for player resources and logs. You're still welcome to follow us and interact with players through our OOC community.
31 December 2009
Sorry for disappearing for such a long period of time, but I'm back! I haven't ignored any of the suggestions I was e-mailed, either, I promise you. Currently, I'm in the process of fixing a small error involving the images, and on top of that, I'm reading through and revising the reviewing guide. This may actually involve rearranging things, so it'll take a bit of time to complete.
Speaking of revisions, by the way, as some of you might know from various forums, I'm currently in the process of revising Anima Ex Machina from the ground up. Although I'm currently up to chapter five, it's taken me a bit of time to code what I have so far. Right now, only the prologue and chapter one are available, but more chapters will be out throughout this coming month. Additionally, in the process of doing this, I've also revised the companion guide a bit.
Other changes to the site? Well, if you look to the left, you'll notice that A Midsummer Knight's Dream is gone. That's because I'm no longer working on it as a fanfiction. (I am turning it into original fic, but because this is a fansite, it's probably not going to fit here.) Also, because of awkward problems, the contact form has been modified. Sort of.
More updates to come. I've also started working on Keeper and doing some revisions to La Blanca, so you can expect to see both soon. Thanks for your help and patience!
1 October 2009
In honor of Anima Ex Machina's one-year anniversary of being online, I got off my rear to finish coding chapter two. It's currently up for your viewing pleasure in its chapter index.
29 September 2009
We've got a new sibling site, in case you haven't yet noticed the shiny button at the bottom of the navigational strip on every page. TCoD is also our first sibling other than Camisado's sites ever, so this is a bit of a big deal for us. Thanks to Dragonfree for the offer, and hello to all you people who wandered in from over there.
Minor edits have also happened in the past ten days, and more minor edits are to come, particularly to the reviewing guide. I say this now because I'll probably be too lazy to edit this news bit later.
19 September 2009
Website launched. Yay!
