Royal Toaster News

Here is issue 02 of the Super Turbo Gaming Deluxe comic series. You may have noticed my character (Matt) had a beard in the last issue and now has a red shirt in this one. I was trying to phase in the change in design from episode 1 which I’m not too sure if it worked. But anyway, my character now has a beard and red shirt.

There will also be a cast change for episode 2 of Super Turbo Gaming Deluxe as Ben and Lewis are now at university, it is harder to get voiceover from them. I’ve also taken over development of the series and have found some friends who are willing to help on production of the series and voice some new characters. I’m currently working on the lip sync at the moment.

 For now though, enjoy this comic:

Hello, as there hasn’t been anything from Super Turbo Gaming Deluxe in almost a year I thought I’d piece together a comic with a sketch involving the demand of the 60 gigabyte PS3 (Even though it would have been more relevant a few months back). We where planning on having this as part of episode 02 but due to circumstances the plot changed, more info on episode 02 might be released in the coming weeks.

We are pleased to announce that we will be working with Mike Jamieson to create episodes of his internet series, Balls. Information on the series and the currently completed episodes can be found at www.BallsCartoon.com.

Our first task will be to re- edit the first couple of episodes before working on new ones. Expect to see frequent updates featuring Balls throughout the next few weeks.

For todays update, we bring you a large dose of what might of been. It’s the animation we did on Pariomortis last year, before we abandoned it in favour of other projects. One day, Pariomortis will be created the way it deserves but for now here is a look at what had been done.

Hard to believe we managed to achieve all that whilst animating with the mouse, there is no way we could go back to that now. Also note that there is very little sound in the video, dialogue was recorded but never really placed into the animation.

Were have we been? Now that college is over you may have expected a plethora of updates from us but that has really not been the case.

I have working on a game for the new Xbox 360 community games service and that has consumed most of my time, so expect me to pimp that game up a lot nearer its time of completion.

Onto Toaster related matters, the backlogged WTF!… Zombies??? comics will be done soon, I promise. Callum has also started work on another comic series, this time he says it has a more serious theme and… would you believe… a more cohesive plot. That should appease you moaners who say that mindless zombie violence is hard to follow.

We have generated ideas for many different projects recently, both animated and live action and one should stick soon so hopefully we will have something else to show you. In the meantime, i will upload the unused footage from the cancelled Pariomortis series, will be god to look back on and see what might of been. Ah the days of animating with the mouse.

Finally, thanks to everyone who viewed, rated and reviewed Muscle Bird, your feedback has been useful and our exposure on the Newgrounds frontpage even more so. Thanks Mr. Tom Fulp. Check out Castle Crashers for the 360, its a great game and a lot of hard work goes into those things.

I’m telling you that from experience.

Finally, after months of hard work followed by weeks of laziness we have got around to ’sprucing’ up Muscle Bird and it is available for you to watch now! We hope you enjoy it.

A big thanks goes to all those who helped out on the project. Check back soon for more exciting news.

Despite the lack of updates recently, Royal Toaster is still at work (notice how I didn’t say hard at work). Muscle Bird is pretty much finished, we are just applying some finishing touches and it really should be done soon, I want to say this Friday but things keep cropping up at the moment. There is also a nice backlog of WTF!… Zombies? comics that will be uploaded in due course.

Keep visiting! There is more to come!

Before this weeks Friday update, I have finally got around to uploading the second part of the 3rd WTF!… Zombies? comic. Expect more issues in the upcoming weeks.

WTF!…Zombies? Comic 3 Part Two

Yo!

Today’s Friday update is brought to you two days early due to me  jetting off to sunny Portugal tomorrow! What, you think I’m going to go online when their are rays to be caught? Well, maybe I will but it won’t be to do an update so here y’all are.

My two friends, Joe Barter and Stu Joslin have been looking to do a ‘podcast’ for a while now as they love talking about bizarre happenings in the world. Despite their excellent conversation skills, we felt that we needed to add a little more to our tagline so it didn’t just read ‘Royal Toaster Podcast: It’s two men talking’. Instead, they decided a cool thing to do would be scour the internet for completely free music that is legal to download and play it on their show, so that they could

A. Advertise band’s material and

B. Hopefully not infringe upon too many copyrights

So here is their first crack at opening your ears to new worlds of music, we hope you enjoy it.

NOTE: Can be played on many different media devices including iPod, Zune, Xbox 360, PS3 (not 7.1 surround sound compatible), iTunes, Windows Media Player and more!

The video I’ve done for my Final Major Project is now up. This trailer for Heroes of a Planet Called Earth will fall under the ‘One Shot’ category, I also want to thank all the people who have helped me make this video and thank all the viewers for watching it.
