Hi. I skipped Pico and Piconjo Days, almost looks like I completely abandoned making anything that isn't the odd shitpost or collaboration. Lost all my ambition. Spent half the year slacking off doing something else. You name it. Despite all those odds, I am still grateful for reaching 400 followers on this beloved site even with all the odds stacked against me.

So, where does the future hold for an old frog like me?

Power Star Reanimated

@PowerStarReanim is a full-scale collab that aims to reanimate the entire Power Star series by @D-Sun. It was originally started by @Recorped and his friends, but over time, I ended up taking over the whole project.

We released Part 1 on March 10th (Mario Day), starting out with just 8 people. We're all very grateful for all the feedback we've received from the community.

I ended up rushing my one scene throughout February to March and edited all the scenes together.

We're already working on Part 2. As of today, all 22 scenes are taken and four have been finished. Join the official Discord server for updates. Or wait until Part 3 is available. You do you.

Special thanks to @jediwarriormike for finishing his scene early and @Str45x for his immense deciation to the collab.

Dipthong + Other music

On April 16th I formed the music duo A+B (@Anonymous-Frog + @BeepBoxClock), and released Dipthong, our debut album featuring both beeps and bloops from @BeepBoxClock and my own experimental sample-fests.

You can listen to it here or download it for free:

NEWGROUNDS | GOOGLE DRIVE | BANDCAMP (May or may not be reliable for this type of project)

My pride in making this is mixed. On one hand, I rushed it together in just under 2 weeks from primarily one or two sample sources at a time, but on the other hand, it was something I've never tried before. I plan to turn Dipthong into an entire series of albums, each installment bringing something new to the table.

I'm working on a second Dipthong album to be released later this year, which I promise will be better and much more substantial than its predecessor.

I'm also considering splitting it into separate "discs" so it can be easily distributed on Discord.

(Free users can upload up to 25MB, enough to fit 6-7 tracks. For comparison, the original Dipthong is 44MB)

In addition, I'm working on a Jingle Bells cover for the Christmas in July collab by @MasterHand4444 (MH4). It's about 80% complete right now.

Other Unnamed/Unrevealed Projects

I had this idea for a short film for quite some time, which I've storyboarded 10-15% of and produced a small portion of the soundtrack. May release sometime in 2024.

I may also make a couple of music videos. Either it's from the Dipthong catalog or whatever else I can get my hands on, depending on whether I have time.

A third SteakClock/BB10 game may be created for Clock Day.

That's all for now.

bye.
