Urk! Cuteness overload!!!

The test copies of both Meta-Force and Virtua-Girl arrived today. I’ve just given them a look-through and gotta say, everything’s perfect! The print quality is refined to perfection. That new template the printers give out really makes a difference to the finished product!

I’m really looking forward to these coming out! There’s absolutely no quality issues whatsoever and it’s a bit of a thrill to see the things in print, even after all the other stuff we’ve brought out.

The Darkling Series One collection should be out any day now and we’ll bring out both Meta-Force AND Virtua-Girl in the same week so everyone buying can save a bit on postage, so look out for all three!! M-F and V-G previews coming soon!

And September’s oneshot is…

Virtua-Girl. The first chapter in the saga of a sentient computer virus that masquerades as an MMORPG turning all its gamers into VR-obsessed zombie slaves, and the lone player who has to stop it… no matter the cost!

This oneshot is an expanding of the adventure from the Virtua-Girl: Strength story found in Tales From The Plex #1. A new host is chosen for the Virtua-Girl avatar as all hell is about to break loose! Watch out for the Virtua-Girl Oneshot Special 2010 hitting Indyplanet.Com and retail stores September 2010!

Okey-dokey, after much fiddling and diddling we’ve got the image gallery back. Looks like it was a different plugin that was messing with fut.com’s mojo. That plugin being the ratings system for posts, which I’ve now disabled ’til a new update comes out. Looks like the admin panel’s sorted so I can now return to updating the place.

As a little gift for reading this post, here’s a bonus link: http://documentaryheaven.com. Some awesome docs on there. Enjoy!

So as some of you will notice there’s a new theme on the site. Recently I updated the site software on the admin side and as is typical for me, I completely buggered it up. The customization of the old theme was lost and it looks like I don’t have a back-up. D’oh.

I do quite dig the new theme though so we’ll see if I can customize it a tad. If you see a weird image showing up or a different background while surfing the site in the next day or two, that’ll be why.

Speaking of updates, we’ve lost the image galleries for the previews and webcomics pages with the latest update too. Hopefully the people who make the plugin we use here will bring out a further update or patch or something. Til then the galleries are temporarily down. On the plus side though everything else with the update seems to be better… for now. At least til I start messing with the codes again!
