I'm twenty-five minutes later than I thought I'd be in saying this, but it's finally time to say so... ...after exactly one year of waiting... SHADOWLANDS EPISODE II IS HERE!!!! www.angelfire.com/emo/shadowlands and follow the link! fanfare, applause, and all sorts of other bits of fuss (Now, keep in mind, that the Shadowlands site is hosted on Angelfire, so there's probably limited bandwidth. What this means is that there will probably be a limit on the amount of people who can see it today, so if you aren't allowed in, try in a few hours or the next day, and you'll probably have better luck.) I am now going to sleep.

COOL STUFF! You'll be 100% guaranteed to win the 2003 keen awards! I'm the first person to watch it too. Cool! Edited by: 0 UNFLEEXABLE 0 at: 3/14/03 8:51:55 am

Once again, you have done it Ilsoap. I had to get on before school and check it out. As long as it's okay with you, I'll add it to my site. Can't wait until Ep. 3, even if it takes another year! "Let's Nukem!" Oh yeah, and I was suprised to see a Bloog on Fribbulus Xax ;p. I also noticed lots of instances in the video that relate to pop culture. For instance, The Weakest Link, the two arachnuts are like the two old guys from The Muppets always making wise cracks, and of course who can forget about the music that's played when the foot appears :P A great job including all of that into the video.

Ilsoap Flect Posts: 601 (3/14/03 7:05 pm) 24.67.253.204 Reply \| Edit \| Del	I'll see if I can address you all in this... Well, first of all, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I checked the site stats, and apparently, within the last 24 hours, the page was visited 347 times. That is much better than I could have hoped for... Shadowlands must have a lot of fans. Personally, I don't think I'm necessarily a shoe-in this year for the 2003 Keen Awards... there are a couple of animated things coming out this year by other fans, not to mention that groovy little 3D flick about the yorps (I think Manboy's doing that one?). But thanks for the advance nominations. When is the next part finished? WHEN IS THE NEXT PART FINISHED?!?!?!? I just spent how many hours of my free time finishing episode 2, and YOU CAN'T GIVE ME A BREAK?!?!? AAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!? Just kidding. Honestly, I don't know. I think with Episode 3, I am going to make sure I'm at least 50% done it before I even start mentioning it again. I realize that's kinda mean, but once I announce something, I commit to doing it, and I want to be sure that it will be done (I'm sure you guys do too). But no promises about 3-14-04. If I haven't said anything by then, it will pass just like any other day. Spelling error... where? I didn't notice anything... What do the inchworms say? Yeah, it's kinda hard to give them such a high voice and still make them recognizable (especially with everyone having different accents and all). Maybe on the Shadowlands site I'll release the script of what the characters say, but here's the inchworm's total lines: - with the wormmouth "Hello!" - "And I'm an inchworm! We want to be part of your team!" - "You are the weakest lick, goodbye!" Anyone who wants to may add it to their site, but I don't think I'm going to change hosts yet. The problem with sites that offer "free hosting" with lots of bandwidth space and no ads is that they never last very long... suddenly, when everyone picks up on the fact that they're such a bargain, they can't afford having so many subscribers. Angelfire has ads, but it has enough bandwidth space for me, and it's been around for, like, EVER. Again, thanks for the comments. In a couple days, when the fuss has died down, I'll e-mail Tom Hall again. He said he liked the first one, he might remember it enough to want to see the second one too.

Download Episode II here, then unzip into any folder you want, and double-click on the HTML file. It should open up the animation in an internet browser window. Beware, though, this is a temporary file, and will go away at the end of the month.

Ilsoap Flect Posts: 605 (3/17/03 6:31 pm) 24.67.253.204 Reply \| Edit \| Del	Answering your questions Answers for your questions: Where were the lazy Mimrocks? Mimrocks? Lazy? What makes you say that? No, they didn't take part in the little skirmish against the Slug Village (Xky was dead on in his interpretation of the war... good for you!), but that doesn't mean that the Mimrocks weren't part of the plan. King Lick didn't want the Mimrocks to attack for a very good reason... Neither side has a leg to stand on. True, the mimrocks have legs, but they didn't actually fight in that battle. And the foot is not a leg. Basically, the battle is between the Licks and the Slugs... the other species are just helping out (and neither of those two main species has any legs). That's how I reasoned that one out. More seen of the Gnosticene Ancients. Hard to say. It's tough to figure out how to use them, since no reason is given for them being there in Keen 4. But if I animate far enough into this story, you will see them a few more times. Scripts. Yes, things are scripted in advance, although often it's just so that I can mess up the script while I'm animating it. I'd say about 3/4 of what you saw was planned a year ago, but some scenes had to be taken out or rearranged. (The bounder knocking out the slugs like a bowling ball was only planned three weeks ago!) If I had the time, I would have explained the reason why the inchworms and wormmouths were willing to join the "enemy". Maybe save that for later. Who holds up that pointer? That question will go into the big box of unanswerable questions, like "How were the slugs able to build TWO villages so quickly without arms?". My guess: no one will ever know. (I sure don't.)

Maybe the various other aliens forced them out, or it could have been the Shikadi sho sent them packing, since they knew enough to stick the Council Members out there. My Remixes: Here! Click here!

See, the Council Members are captured there that they couldn't "use" Oracle, if I remember correct. But I always thought that they would be a part of Shadowlands, before I read the stories. But who knows, maybe they have been in Shadowlands before.. Oh, and by the way, what is Lindsey doing there, is he something princess of the Shadowlands? (sorry, I really can't remember if there's something about her in the story) Greetings from Bloogton Tower!

Maybe she's heir to their throne or something. Do you think she is a sorceress? It's either her reflection that Keen jumps into.. or the girl is floating in the air.

I didn't like how King Slug sounded less like Guilmon but that didn't ruin it's sheer brilliance quality and hilarious jokes. My favorite part was the giant foot. Twelve inches make a foot! I don't know if anyone noticed, but the giant foot stepping on everyone was a sort-of subtle parody of Monty Python's Flying Circus, even if it wasn't intended. I heard someone say a while back that he hoped that he wouldn't have to wait for Episode II until 3/14/03 (back when the release date was October). Will we have to wait 'til 3/14/04 for Episode III???? One last question: What animation studio are you using, Ilsoap?

She can fly and disappear, I wonder, maybe Miragia is her palace because it can disappear too.. I bet it would be very hard to capture her to the planet, so I think she was there already. But why haven't she helped those gnosticines out? I dunno.. Greetings from Bloogton Tower!

Much of the planet is a nice peaceful happy planet, and the Shadowlands are sorta like the wilderness. The oracle members were moved from the nice peaceful happy part into structures in the Shadowlands, where they are guarded by deadly beasts. Perhaps this has been said, and I'm just dense. Perhaps is this is just plain not right™, and I'm just dense. Maybe I'm not dense (let's hope ).

Oh, and when I was younger, I thought that Shadowlands was part of Gnosticus.. Ofcourse then I didn't understand English so much etc.. But the story is, that there is a planet, called Gnosticus IV or whatever, and the Ancients live there. And they're "kidnapped" to the planet Shadowlands. Greetings from Bloogton Tower!

"Oh, Captain Keen!" he begins. "That's Commander Keen," Billy corrects. "The Shikadi were here, and they kidnapped the members of the High Council and took them to the Shadowlands to the west."[/quote] Still seems to me that the Shadowlands are a region of Gnosticus IV. It does say later that "Commander Keen hops in his Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket and heads for the Shadowlands", but that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to a different planet. It's just that there's no other way to get to the Shadowlands.

As Hinkle pointed out, the intro text shows it quite clearly. BTW, it has been suggested that the "Gnosticene Ancients" are the dudes in the Pyramid of Gnosticene Ancients stealing goodies. However, it makes more sense in my eyes that "Gnosticene Ancients" refers to the Council Members, as KeenRush wrote.

For some time already I thought that Shadowlands is on a different planet, and I hated the idea, because I think that wouldn't fit to story very well. I thought that the story goes a bit too quickly because it didn't tell more about it, but that's really cool now, when I understand it!! Ah, life is great! Well, then that makes a lot of sense. I just should have trusted to my childhood-instincts. Ah, I can't stop thinking about history of Gnosticus now! There's so much cool that could have happened. Who build the pyramids, why? Miragia! All those places! This is great!! Greetings from Bloogton Tower!

If you planned the bowling thing only 3 weeks before, you must be pretty damn quick at animating then! or you probably stayed up for 3 weeks straight! BTW, When is Drips Episode 2 coming out?

Well, technically, my second project, first, I wanna revamp a couple of things on my homepage, then I'll start Drips Episode 2, entitled "Hiccup". (Got the script for that pretty much figured out). And that bowling thing wasn't too hard. I think that one scene took only like 3-5 hours to complete.

I was sleeping and then I was like a wizard or something, there was 2 connected trails /--\ \| \| \ o / \| \| \| \| \| \| I was near that circle. the other side was a curse and was for teachers only, whoever passed that side died... or in other words, lost their powers. I was asked a harry potter and the goblet of fire question and i hadn't even finished reading the book yet (i've only read about 5-7 chapters). I got the question wrong and objected to death because i never read the book. THE DREAM ENDS... AND THEN.. I was in a wierd the simpsons episode, smithers was chasing King Sluggy and i was on the floor in some wierd hedge park trying to move out of the way and king slug morphed into mr burns and he died... i woke up... Wierd huh? If you actually dreamt it, you'd know how i felt.

Too Much Spare Time King Slug Posts: 676 (4/9/03 11:56 pm) 132.181.2.63 Reply \| Edit \| Del	It's... Time... For... Shadowmaniacs! It's clear from some of Ilsoap's Flash movies that there's a big "Animaniacs" influence - Duke Mushroom = Wakko Warner, for example... But I also noticed another thing that may or may not have been "borrowed" from the TV show... The Bloog drummer doing the comedy rimshot. I seem to recall a similar gag in the episode of Animaniacs where the Warners choose Rasputin to be "Today's Special Friend", and Yakko makes a pun: "Everybody's rushin' around here!" -> Cut to Wakko on drums.

Animaniacs was just a fabulously written little cartoon, though--definitely surpassed the level of Tiny Toons, and blows ANYTHING recently made out of the water. Yakko's a great character too :-) i always liked his mannerisms and gestures. kinda creepy to imagine that Animaniacs premiered when i was a 5th grader O_o; --Xky

Yes, that Bloog rimshot was based on Wakko doing it, although there are several episodes where that happened. And, as I mentioned before, the "I stand before you today" joke was directly from "King Yakko", another Animaniacs episode. And Freakazoid... man, I wish that was still on. That show was excellent!
