Let me apologize to begin with.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates regarding Four Swords Misadventures 8. This year has been rather troublesome for me and I had very little time (and sometimes very little interest) in continuing the series.

Plain and simple, my life took a 180 degree turn this year for some reason with so much crap going on and I've been seeing things differently now. Almost as if I'm not having as much fun as I used to with flash. As much as I want to continue the series and all, there are times that I think to myself "what's the point? I barely make anything out of it." Though I acknowledge that I do have a fan base that cares for the series, I really would hate to disappoint them about it.

However, I haven't truly decided on canceling the series just yet. It's going through limbo at times since I got more important things to take care of. Mainly class assignments and family related things. So yeah...

If you want to help out in some way to keep the series going, you can message me if you like to audition for later episodes, but currently I'm not accepting voice actors for ep. 8.I got enough on my plate already in that area. I'm also looking for pixel authors. I need someone to make original custom sprites and backgrounds for the episode. the guy I originally hired for it bailed out on the project, so that's another reason why this has been delayed. any additional help will be appreciated

Again, sorry for having you guys wait for over 17 months. I'll have this series going again once I get things settled. BTW, just to show you that the series isn't dead, Here's an upgraded version of the Zelda II based intro that a fan made for me for the episode. Click here to see it.

Til next time.

That's an awesome intro! On the other hand I an relate to this. I was supposed to have another project done by the end of this summer, and I haven't even gotten past the intro! But hey things take time ya know? I really love your series but don't rush to get the 8th episode out. Take as much time as you need. =)

The handle on the sword in that intro needs better shading/lighting.

icefire23 2011-11-18 15:15:52

i say get your stuff straight. and eventually motivation to continue will hit you like a rock, it's what happens to me, so who says it can't happen to you?

zombiealex 2011-11-19 09:12:02

Well that sucks man. some times life's a bitch but as long as you get threw it and be better for it life will turn out better. I'd love to offer soemthign but unfortunatly I have nothign to give other than my support. Sorry dude>_<

If you decide to cancel the series then that is what you decide. You shouldn't have to feel like yoru being forced to do anything. I respect that. Do what you got to do dude. I'm not goign to ask you to contiue the series cause that is rather selfish of me. Really its all up to you. We fans will accept yoru choice no matter what. Hope this helps.

Well have a good one buddy. Enjoy life and rock on!

Now that does make sense.
Sometimes, tables could turn. The spirit that lets you continue to make flash might die out someday, or never. It depends whether the project itself is cool and interesting or boring and a waste of time. Mostly, it can be triggered by being too much used to it.

Obviously, you don't always got to get the "profit" all the time whenever you do something. You may or may not heard of this before: "the best art is done not for money, but for the hapiness of humans themselves."

More than 17 months...everything takes time, so do hesitate. :)
But the more you delay. the greater the chance that you want to take time cuts on the project (indeed, taking huge breaks). It's your worst enemy now, mentally.

you take your time until the problem or change wears off you don't have to make the series anymore and we hope your problem wears off... well i can't say that for everybody but don't rush just try your best to make and if you want cancel it that is your decision so take your time

I... I think I'm the guy that bailed. Am I?
I swear, I didn't. I just...have a lot of crap going on. Nothing I want to type into public website on a profile viewed by so many.
If I still have a chance, I have all the stuff you ask for. But, I've been to hell and back in the last few months too many times. I haven't been on the internet in week, except to talk to friends. And that was from a mobile device. If I have failed you, I am sorry.

Actually, I was referring to someone else. You're not the one to blame here so no worrries.

JakeLee12 2011-11-20 18:46:29

I would help i just dont what I could do

Habopizza123 2011-11-28 09:05:47

Insted of asking yourself whats the point you should ask yourself is it worth it

BenTheHero 2011-11-29 17:49:33

I'm currently working on a link custom sprite that's Link's crazy little brother. Would you accept my character? If you do, I'll let you know when it's done.

VicHD 2011-11-29 17:49:33

Well, I'm not really interested in that sprite you mentioned to be honest, but if you're willing on designing another Character sprite for me, then we'll talk.

X-factorflashHead 2011-12-02 15:36:39

Only things I can think of doing besides VAing (or singing) would be that I am good with some academic stuff, could help with classwork or something IDK. Wish I could be more help x.x

Azardea 2011-12-03 14:13:18

Hope things turn out well for you. Love your work, man!

Juantopo 2011-12-08 02:54:11

AS I COMMENTED IN YOUTUBE! as the supportive commments show in this video, the fanbase that not only loves but respect you and your work will stay with you till the end. and if it does get cancelled, heck, we all get life in the face. im merely starting college as i study and work and dont even have time for amv's. and my plate it will%uFEFF get worse. im not trying to overdue my welcome, but if there's anything that can be done, feel free to ask. even if unrelated to the series. im just a guy who likes to help out. i dont know.
also as an extra, id like to try out for the backgrounds. i do a pretty nice work on custom sprites, whyle keeping textures. i dont tend to upload mostly couse its more of a hobby tha anything. but i do have a little collection.

Juantopo 2011-12-08 02:56:32

also i am sooo flattered to see you accepted de intro (i live under a rock made mostly from homework so i really didnt checked) im totally gonna download it!

TheZeroAce 2011-12-11 16:30:48

Don't worry about the wait time man, we waited how long for fsm 7? Your projects are always worth the wait, and the more time it takes, the more awesome stuff that goes in!

ste4999 2011-12-20 10:28:31

use my motto whatever life throws at you just get back up dust your self off and say fuck you insults and stuff that makes me debresed swallow my sword i mean isnt the whole point of the series to make people laugh? i mean come on lets be honest your stuff is one of the best things on the website along with eddsworld and get back on the horse

baldboy64 2011-12-22 00:48:10

Hey guys, I'm partly to blame for the delays. I'm slow for doing my lines and I do apologize for that. I just sent the last bit the other day. I've read this episode time and time again. Your gonna love it and now that Spike is back, things are going to rock even more.

TheAtticus 2011-12-25 14:55:34

Hey, man! Glad to see you're getting better! You got a predicted release date for episode 8?
