hello all! weewdiedrich here, sorry it has been so long since my last news post. life has just gotten very, very busy. despite that, i've managed to push out a couple things, starting with...

DOG.FLA Remake part

i did a part for that new dog.fla remake collab! you can view that here. working on my part was pretty fun. i encourage you to check out the full thing as well! link's in the description of my part. nearly 20 minutes of nonstop action!

tronbot tronbot tronbot tronbot tronb

i've been doing some work on tronbot series as a whole. i now have storyyboards that go up to.... a good number of animations from now. even then, i'm still working on it. i've mostly been doing that alongside creating new characters and further developing existing ones internally. as a result of a combination of that and my current priorities, progress of the actual ongoing animations (tronbot 0.5 revision and tronbot zero) has been pretty slow. however, i intend on picking up the pace relatively soonish if not right now.

oh yeah, i've had work for other projects, too.

while i'm still on the topic of tronbot, i've recently uploaded the track that i've made to be used as the soundtrack for tronbot 0.5 revision. you can listen to that here!

One of the new characters, intended to be used in future installations, but I'm making them public now because why not, introducing...

the P.E.R.A. Unit!

description: The Personnel Emulating Robot Agent‚ or P․E․R․A․ for short‚ is a combat machine manufactured by the Agency Against Hank Wimbleton for use in extreme scenarios where they need all the firepower they can get․ The unit was originally modelled and designed for TronBot Series.

VRChat avatar: search "P.E.R.A. Unit" or "WeeWDiedrich" in an avatar search world. if the searcher hasn't indexed the avatar yet, the id is avtr_1f930914-c099-4f67-891c-2a39c8c20f19 . Model incluides the ability to fire its cannons, overhead out of the vent on the back of the head, and change the color of the infared sensors; among other things that my avatars typically ship with, such as emotes, emote speed settings, and laying/sitting poses with respective settings for those.

note; the head can be detached and used as a turret.

btw the shading layers should be at 25℅ opacity

credit upon use will be thanked!

previews for both the vrchat avatar and the madness sprites:

by the way, that's a backpack it has on its back. it stores things, typically even more firearms.

Closing

that's all for now! at least, that's all that i'm prepared to publicly share right now. to the recent people that have came here from the dog.fla remake collab; wow! i didn't know there'd be so many of you!

there i am!

right next to the countdown too lol

GEN1.3395

this is in the vrchat new years eve 2024 world!

i know people come to this page for madness stuff so here's my previous post that has madness related news

hello all! sorry for the slight inactivity. i've been getting busy with life and all of that. here's what i've been working on;

madness shit

so far, i've got two tronbot-related projects ongoing;

tronbot zero

tronbot zero is gonna be the "lore" animation, yknow, shows you how tronbot was created n shit.

tronbot 0.5 revision

the original tronbot 0.5, the OLD one, is pretty shit; so i'm remaking it. tronbot 0.5 revision will be its own upload.

progress on both of these things is going very good! although it's a bit slow because again, life... progress is

still happening. they'll be out when they're ready!

oh yeah, i make vrchat stuff too i guess

vrchat upgraded their sdk to support the new version of unity that vrchat runs on, 2022. for the occasion, i've updated a few things that i've uploaded on vrchat.

avatars

added things and changed things in multiple avatars. go to an avatar search world (like prismics!) and type in

my username, WeeWDiedrich, into the author search box. why do this? because i don't have an avatar world

for my stuff, and probably never will. i don't see a reason to create one

worlds

The Penthouse

fixed weird texture looping on the walls.

MADNESS COMBAT: Mag Hank's Room, MADNESS COMBAT: The Rift, MADNESS COMBAT: An Experiment

made the mirrors proximity based in all 3 worlds., they'll turn off when you walk away and back on when you

approach.

also added a toggle button near the spawn in all 3 of these worlds that turns off the music.

if you want to view these worlds, simply go to my vrchat profile, they should be on there; WeeWDiedrich

speaking of vrchat...

i got into a poster that'll be featured in the new years eve 2024 world!

for context; vrchat hosts a yearly NYE event, and usually puts in posters submitted by the community member into the world. it's like the real new years eve event in new youk; ads everywhere...

here's the poster. if you're looking for where i am on it, i've added a red circle and two red arrows, youtube clickbait style.

this poster is for the "gen-1" group, people from the respective channel "vrchat-general-1" on the vrchat discord.

shoutouts to these two for actually submitting it, and eoghhan for compiling the images(?) to make the poster.

hello all! here's some more sprites that i've finished up today and have gotten permission for release.

Axel Portai - THE BOUNTY HUNTER

character design by SarcasmInduced, spritework by WeeWDiedrich (me :3)

click here to download! give credit upon use.

yes i'm still working on my own things

yeah i put the mascot of outer madness into vrchat

grunt base model by tottu.

uhhh, it's a funny discord server, go join it, or don't, your choice really. discord.gg/outermadness

not trying to make a point to anything or go up against anyone, just wanted to make a funny vrchat avatar.

btw i made the vrchat world you're seeing in the background, you can visit it here; The PentHouse - Home World

yes i'm working on the animation lol

hello and happy august! progress on tronbot zero is going surprisingly well, but also quite slowly due to how long i plan for it to be! because of this, sadly, i have to say that i doubt i'll be able to get it out by madness day. if i do make it, that'll be very surprising, but i don't think it'll happen. in the case that it doesn't, it'll come out when it's ready.

for those that aren't aware yet, tronbot zero is basically just the "lore translated into animation" part. don't worry, there *is* fight scenes so it's not just a bunch of boring dialogue for multiple minutes (still a lot of dialogue, though.). might be some shoddiness here and there though as i am still learning animation, but i'd say it's already a massive improvement over my earlier works!

looking for sprites i've made in the past? have a look through my previous news posts, most of them are there.

see you when the animation's ready, or when i decide i'm bored and want to make another news post!

because of the REALLY SHITTY direction that twitter is heading in, in terms of moderation, and general community (there's a LOT more bad takes nowadays that's visible since blue check prioritization got added. wow.); i have deactivated my twitter account. expect more posts from me here on newgrounds. if i make an account on a different social media, i'll let you guys know.

that's all

vendor.fla has been deleted by me willingly

reason: it SUCKED (i will not elaborate(i still thank everyone who was there and supported me back then when i uploaded it though, as it gave me the greenlight to continue being a madness animator and improve))

also, the tronbot series playlist is UP NOW! WHAT THE FUCK. i'll add tronbot animations to there when new ones come out lol

here's the thumbnail for the playlist just because

it's tronbot 1 part 2

go watch it
