I've been going through some things on my newer external drive where I backup a lot of information and things I've done in the past. I was doing this while looking at this new spin-off of SMBZ, Mega Sonic Bros. AF; then, it suddenly hits me and I thought to myself, "Why don't I look back through the ol' Nintegaball GT stuff?" So, that's when I went through my external drive and found the folder chalk-full of sources, scenes and such for Nintegaball GT.

It's been so long since I've last went through that folder and remembered that Episode 2 was in the works back in 2007 a week after I released Episode 1. Then, I thought to myself, "I should release some screens of how much I've done Episode 2 to the public." And that's exactly what I'm doing right now. Below are links to screenshots I've conjured up of how much I've done on Episode 2 of NBGT 4+ years ago:

I know some of you out there might ask me "Does this mean you're going to continue with the sprite series?", and my answer is going to be uncertain, but it doesn't mean that I've completely shut the door on the idea. I've mentioned in the past that I've planned on overhauling the story and rebooting it as an anime-style feature length trilogy, changing the name from "Nintegaball GT" to just simply "Nintegaball", etc. I've also contemplated the idea that once I purchase the new Wacom Cintiq 24HD tablet, that I would do a prequel graphic novel to the series before straightening out the story for the main trilogy.

Before I end this journal, some have ask of where the SMBZ: Desumacchi game was at or if it was finished; well, my answer to that is since Alvin has a lot of things on his plate and that other things are more of a priority than SMBZ right now, I kind of thought the same to myself. However, I recently was laid-off from my last job back in June and I'm still continuing to look for work. So as long as SMBZ is absent for the time being, I'm putting the game on hold as well.
