new side projects

It’s been a while since a proper news update. A lot has changed since then.

In the most logical order:

- the online series based on a video game (mentioned early last year) has been cancelled. Along with the legal side of it, the then-foreseen collaboration dissolved over time due to various circumstances. Needless to say, this project is very unlikely to ever see the light of day. Probably for the best.
- also, the fairy tale project (mentioned early last year as well) has been put on hold. While still very fond of the concept, it is still a work-in-progress, one that is more likely to reappear some time in the future.

That brings me to the reason for this update. At this time, two different side projects are in the works, both of which are looking very promising. Without getting into details, let’s just say that great stuff is on the way. More updates a.s.a.p..
