Going to try and avoid writing a small essay here, unless you all actually want me to write a small book every time I update this. I haven't updated this blog since August apparently so uh...what do you want me to talk about? 'Cause I have no idea and I'm just going to be writing about anything and everything if no-one says anything. 
Revamps:
As you might've seen here on the forum, I've been considering doing some revamps of some species. Not as in making entirely new splices, but editing and re-shading existing ones.

Revamped Rafflesia Stage 2.
This involves going back and editing current Pokémon rather than what I've been doing currently, adding more Pokémon. The older Pokémon are starting to stand out a bit as I change how I shade and make parts from scratch, I noticed this while I was making the new site header. If I do switch to revamping older species, I might be able to get the Pokédex updated sooner, currently I'm at Rafflesia and since then there's been quite a few new species to say the least...

So, if I start revamping Pokémon, who should I revamp next? List species in the comments, any that seem particularly popular will probably be edited first. Symbiosis, Lunaire, Flare and Cryo are already on my list to be fully revamped.
Site Features - Quests:
Not a small book this time. Hopefully. On the latest news poll for site features "Major Quests" turned out to be the most popular, followed by "Exploration" and "Adoptables", so quests are going to be worked on first. Main problem: I have no idea what anyone wants. So, out of these categories, which do you prefer?
  1. Apocalypse - Zombies, disease, meteors, invasion, etc.
  2. Mystery Dungeon - Similar to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. If this is used the next most popular theme will be used as a setting.
  3. Adventure - Exploring large areas with various goals.
  4. Time-travel - Yes, travelling in time. Back in time to dinosaurs and 10ft tall Slakoth. (We need a sloth Pokémon...)
  5. Library - Researching various subjects for the Librarian.
  6. Other - Yeah I've run out of ideas.
Okay, that turned out longer than I intended. If we had a Tumblr for Obsidian, would you follow it? It'd probably involve background information, adoptables, whatever you want us to post.

What the title says. So...uh...wait, haven't updated Twitter in ages either. This is what happens when Windows Sidebar dies on me.

If you could send short stories to the Librarian for an exclusive reward, would you do it? You could be a Pokémon, or a diver who's boat was attacked by Torque, or whatever you like. You'd be credited and you'd be allowed to use a different name of your choice on the story page, or be anonymous. You wouldn't have to worry about punctuation or spelling, we'd correct mistakes for you. Just an idea I had.

Okay, got a Twitter extension for Chrome now. You can send an angry Apoidea after me if I forget to post now.
 
Forum Events 07/23/2011
 
We've noticed that not many people come and join the forum. We're not horrifyingly strict or anything you know, we won't eat you alive for swearing (optional filter) or the like.

If we had a forum-wide event with several prizes:
1: Would you join in?
2: What would you like it to be like?
3: What would you want the prizes to be?
4: Would the prizes be exclusive to the event?
5: Anything else you want to add.

Copy, paste, fill out and post in the comments please.

Also I think I forgot to announce the Birdwatching on here. Oops.

Lets go fishing! 07/17/2011
 
We can find the Red Gyarados-I mean the legendary Gyakkyo! Eheh...
I've implemented a new Fishing game, but this one is a little different. I'm using this as an example, it's not really used:

Go fishing!

1/5 - Cirrina
1/5 - Koilos
3/5 - Keiko

You caught an Adult Keiko!

All the Pokémon have different chances of appearing, and at different stages. You could fish up an adult Cirrina, then your next catch could be a Koilos egg. Or you could end up with a very angry Gyakkyo glaring down at you with your fishing rod stuck in their mouth. Have you tried herbivore baits? Heard it keeps away the gigantic eel monsters.

Anyway, we'll be adding more species at some point, for now there's four different species you can catch. Good luck!
 
Library: 07/14/2011
 
You may have visited the library already, if not, you can find the link on the Index page.

Currently, the library only contains audio logs and transcripts by a lost scientist documenting the island. I want to know, what do you want to see in the library? My current list isn't amazingly long, but I want to know what you'd like to read.

Would you want to see things like Pokémon/plant care or the like? I just thought of that randomly.

Also, what do you think of the new library characters?
