Hey guys. I have a question.

What could I change to make this website more enjoyable?

 If I redesigned the look, I am sure that more people would feel like the site is less of a mess. Also, I really want to get rid of spam, and fix the forum. Also make uploading games easier. 

Any comments/suggestions? 

Hey guys. There are several problems plaguing the site right now. I apologize for this, especially since we just released BOA: 4.

The problems include:

-downed forum. had to start from scratch, but we're working on getting it integrated back into the site soon.

-slow loading pages/no loading. We are having a high period of traffic. I already purchased the highest business plan at my hosting provider, so I am pissed that we still have bandwidth issues... The next plan is like $150 a month, and I can't afford that right now. Maybe I'll start my own serves soon.

 -Can't upload BOA: 4 to the site yet. A couple PHP tweaks need to be made.

Anyways, enjoy the site for what it is right now. I promise it will clan up in a bit, I have someone working on the site and he's making the changes.

If you have any artwork you want to send to us, to see if you can work on the next BOA game, please email an attachment or link to me at grant@ratubaworld.com

Hey everyone!

Brink of Alienation: IV is finally out! You can see it on the front page of newgrounds.com or armorgames.com, or at our very own website. Have fun playing!!!

If you are interested in doing artwork for the next flash project, email me at grant@ratubaworld.com and I'll check out your stuff

No, this isn't a special update. I just thought I'd post about some of my projects. They're just too fascinating to not yap about. Anywhoo, here's an in-game character I'm going to use in a future project:

I think I've finally mastered the art of drawing with the mouse.

Also, stay tuned for a little preview/demo of my upcoming game, which will feature the "Virtual Training" section and possibly the first level. I'm pretty pleased by how it's turning out, and so far, you're able to man a machine gun, pilot an assault mech, and drive a tank (as well blowing the hell out of a few enemies). Right now, I'm working on coding an assault fighter you'll be able to commandeer. It's working out great.

The game won't be complete anytime soon, but I'll be updating you on my progress. Stay tuned for screenies and the demo.

Hey everyone!

"flybot" is finally complete! This was my final project for computer animation I, and I think it came out very successful! I can't wait to start making more advanced models and animation next semester! Perhaps even a 3D BOA related clip?

Watch "Flybot"

Anyways, time for me to take a nap. As of right now, all of my classes (except for next week's finals) are done for the semester!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what that means. BOAIV time again!!!!!!!!! WOOO!!!!! can't wait for it to be done

till next time friends,

P.S. thanks to Radis2 for making the forum rank titles/ organizing it a bit! Everyone thank him if u get a chance! Also- if you havn't seen the "mechbot yet, refer to my last post.

The mech-bot animation I was working on is finished! Granted, it's nothing special, it is sufficient enough to get me a good grade in class. I'll be uploading the "flybot" movie later on. That clip is a very high quality animation.

"Mech-bot"

Sorry for the huge filesize...I will compress later

**edit: for those who were having trouble playing the movie, I think the problem is fixed**

New Halo 3 trailer

I hope you guys have the xbox 360- one of my housemate's bought it last year, and it's unbeleivable. Anyone get the Wii yet? what about ps3...(I doubt that, too expensive.)

Something I made in Maya...I'm gonna be using it in one of my final projects for school involving live film and computer animation. Basically I'm gonna green screen myself onto this thing and animate it. It'll be cool
