New Stuff!

I've been busy over the past month or two and now that Pleasantview 3.8 has been released I am ready to announce a few other things.

1.  doons99p.com is back!  Call me indecisive (because I am) but I decided to bring my website back with a new look.  I had to refresh my website making skills, but I really enjoyed making it so it wasn't a big deal.  The good news for Pleasantview fans is that 'Dina and Mortimer's Honeymoon' and Angela's diary entry (from 3.7) are all there to see.  I have an FAQ page too which might be of interest :)

2.  I'm making a Let's Play Legacy with The Sims 2.  Some of you may have caught the pilot of a Sims 3 Let's Play that I put up a month or so ago.  Well the idea just wouldn't go away and after watching quite a few Sims 2 LPs I decided to have a go with a version of my own.



This Let's Play is also a legacy and begins with founder Stella Sterling and her trusty cat Sir Purr-A-Lot.  They move into Desiderata Valley, which I haven't really played before, so it's all new.  The aim of this legacy is for Stella to build up a family business that will be passed on with each new generation.

I will edit my footage to show the highlights of each season.  So, after the first day we will see Stella's autumn, then winter and so on.  I have started gameplay and am currently up to spring and I have to say playing The Sims 2 again is a lot of fun.  It's also useful for my machinima as I get to see more interactions and animations that could be really effective in a series.

The Trailer is available for viewing now:

 

3.  Simtasia: An Epic - I've also been working on a sims 3 series that is gonna be huge!  I won't reveal much in this post aside from this: it will be set in every neighbourhood in the game, and so that's why I've called it an epic.  



It will have a large cast and the storyline is rather unruly, but I'm hoping I can keep it all under control.  Due to this new series I will not continue with 'Sunset Valley'.  I know this will disappoint some but the truth is I am inspired by characters and storyline possibilities that all of the neighbourhoods offer and I wanted to branch out.  Obviously Sunset Valley will be included in this new series, so hopefully you can see some of your favourite characters and stories from the Valley :)  This series will be released early 2013, however I will upload a trailer before the new year.

Well that's it for now, thanks for reading :)

  6. But really, like Mareka said, will we ever find why Morty was crying? You could put the plot of Sunset Valley as a fanfic, that would be really cool!
