I've gotten some serious Antiheroes work done over the holiday weekend. I'd say my progress stands at about 50%.

This is really shaping up to be my favorite of all F.U. episodes. It's just fun - and it mixes all my favorite elements of flash storytelling. It's got an epic quest for not so epic reasons. It's got a parody of a popular genre (quest, rpg games) and it has a lot of elements you would have found on old school Adult Swim...you know, back when it was good.

I also got a Wii, which occupies the rest of my free time. I got it mostly as a way to trick myself into exercising, which is working out great. I recommend that to anyone wanting to build some muscle, if nothing else. I played baseball for a half hour yesterday and my arm has been burning all day. It feels great, though it doesn't.

Back to Antiheroes. I have it tentatively scheduled for an October 3 release. This depends on whether the Halloween contest has officially started or not. I would like to be one of the first in the collection, to allow for more exposure time. This is more because I'd like to have an episode go over 25k views this year. So far, none have accomplished that. This is definately the one of all the episodes that deserves it.

However, I also want it to be in the Halloween contest this year too. If the offical preloader isn't up by the third then I'll just have to put it off. I fear that Madness Day will push back the offical start of Halloween, since it happens in late September. Not to worry though, I've got a flash for that contest as well.

To show you how serious I am about this project. I've gone back and reworked some of the initial art. Below is an example.
