uhm, Mata, why haven't there been any new animations/games/toys/ect? its been a while.
just wondering.

Because it's not his job. Simple as.

I think he said in his blog that real life had sucked up a great deal of his free time. Contract work, the main source of income job, readying the oral defense of his thesis, and actual time to live.

Drat you real life!

P.S. Nice to see you again TV with Legs.

Everyone else is pretty much spot on. I've been working on paying the rent and finishing my PhD, both of which are astonishingly time-consuming.

I have started a couple of other sites that you might like to check out:

http://www.stickscene.com (a guess-the-movie game)

http://puns.stickscene.com (a guess-the-pun/puzzle game)

^ Love the pun site, (I actually got some right for once!) but number nine created by "Dave_the_hat" say's there's supposed to be 8 letters, but there's supposed to be 9.

Thanks, I've fixed that.

If you fancy making a few and adding them then please do!

One of them is from the Amelia Bedelia books! It is a shame that I have always disliked puns.

Well, I hope you like films then

I'm sorry, that came out horrifically insulting.

(I'm embarassed now.)

On another note, wasn't there word of some impending Snaffleburger?

No insult taken.

Currently all things impending are like the end of the world: they're obviously coming, but they'll get here in their own time.

The next thing I 'plan' to make is a LGG episode, but there's a short silly thing that I've been planning to make for ages with some photos I took on my phone, so that may turn up first. It really depends on my moods and when I find time.

wooo.. LGG! and silly things! hurray!

(I like StickScene/PunScene but I am rubbish at those sorts of things and give up easily)

Yay! More episodes with Sarah!

OoOh i share the excited opinion of more LGG.

(couldnt do the pun site and it made me feel dense)

*eagerly awaits whatever thing Mata decides to release next*

I finished the script a couple of days ago, and it's loooong, but I can't see how I could cut it and still tell the story, so I think that I'm going to have to find yet another style of animation for this one, perferably one that is quite economical on the amount of work required!

Long is good because it gives us plenty of plot points to pick apart and consider. I even sort of like the early style of animation for LGG, though it's easier to pay attention when there's some sound for keep the focus.

I'm currently considering animating it in Flash then rendering it into Quicktime so I can have more visual density with textures and suchlike, but I've not made my mind up about that one yet. We'll see.

A girl did audio tracks for my early LGG animations as her degree project, so I might put those onto the animations at some point and polish up the style of the early ones.

Where's Mata!?





Will you keep the old ones too though? *nostalgia*

I acctually have scene-by-scene prints of your first LGG animations. I dont exactly remembered why I did that.... At one point I wanted to cover one of my walls in them.

Sues got it for me. I still very rarely use it, but the camera thingy can be quite handy at times.


Yep, they will always be there, these would be more like director's cuts (except without the implication that I wouldn't want to update them again in the future).
