This site is never forgotten. It's just that I really haven't had anything to put up here. I guess I can sort of make up for it with the next three chapters of Rustling Leaves. That's 16, 17 and 18, by the way. As part of my New Years' Resolutions for 2007, I intend to be doing a lot more creative work...which I guess is why there's an update so early in the year, rather than in March when these things tend to happen, I guess. But as a result of my ambition, I will be looking at updating the entire website, giving it an upgrade to DTYvK Productions 2.0. Now, while I don't have any idea of what it's going to look like yet, I do know it will be a lot more Flash-based, so if Flash doesn't work for you, make it work. This is 2007, not 1997. The 2.0 rollout will probably be progressive, just like the rest of the site when it began pre v1.0, and the music section will be the first to get upgraded, pretty much as I know what I want to do with it, but not how. But imagine, a fully automated Pandoran Dictionary... ~Lich |

While I have my muse for aural work, this is just a quick update to say that Opus 25 - Snow Village Zone (Jordan Kitsune's Theme) can be found like all other pieces of music here. And now I go back to my university work. Sigh... ~Lich |

Well, that was a bit of a hiccup in the schedule of things, wasn't it? I guess having university and developing a job is bound to put a crimp into any sort of website management. I wanted this update to be big to make up for the lack of updates; and believe me, it is. Firstly, I have found my muse again and after a 27 month-long wait, you will find Opus 24 - Silverlit Nocturne (Luna's Theme) in the music section. Hopefully this will be the first of a run of tunes. Also, Edition 3.1 of the Pandoran Dictionary can be found in the library. It received its much needed revamp, so hopefully you won't be twiddling your thumbs while you wait for it to load anymore. Plus, you'll find something new with every entry... And if that's not enough, the giftart gallery I've alluded to previously is finally up and running - you'll find it, naturally, under art. Perhaps you'll find something you've drawn from long ago that you've totally forgotten about, or something you wish you hadn't. =P And for those of you following Lich and Ark across the sands of the Koopahari, Chapters 14 and 15 of Rustling Leaves await. There's also some fresh links, too. Phew. So, where to from here? Since I've added the giftart gallery, I might pick up my pencil and draw Lich and Ark character reference sheets so that everyone can see how I view Lich and Ark - maybe I'll do one for my Twilighter Council character Hl'garng, too - and incorporate them into an about section. That would be the next major addition to the site; the rest, as far as I can see, would be more of Rustling Leaves, new entries in the Dictionary, and (I certainly hope) new music. Perhaps I'll even start those neglected areas of the Library, too. If only there were thirty hours in each day... Have fun, one and all. ~Lich |

No, I'm not dead, and no, I haven't forgotten my website (especially as it's taken so long to get this far...). I just noticed that my Links page still had the stuffed-up "No Flash Helpfulness", so it's now been taken care of. Whoops! ^^;; That aside, I haven't really had the energy to do work on this website lately, with university sapping my creative energies like a vacuum cleaner. Although my Easter break occurred a few weeks ago, I was just too tired to do any work here. However, once things start to settle down again, I will be back to do some more work here. There's still a lot of things I want to do. For example, my next project will be to collect all of the "fanart" I have of my characters and put it into a special gallery here on DTYvK Productions: this will be v1.3. But until then, I have to think about awful spatial economics and a whole range of town plannerly stuff instead of how I'm going to sort out my fanart gallery. So save me from my uni work! Give me some FAQ's to mull over! Please, I beg you! ~Lich |

Another small, yet quite significant update: The Pandoran Dictionary has hit 500 words exactly! Either this means it's a very good thing, or else it means I don't have a life. Anyway, if the last update can be considered the "House Of, Manners and Website Miscellania Update", this one can be considered the "Cannon Travel Network Update". Go take a look, if that sort of thing is...your...thing. o.O; Also, the menu's Contact button now shows that you'll find the FAQ's there, like I realised I needed to do yesterday. ~Lich |

Sorry, but just a small update this time thanks to university and to the fact that I'm strangely tired a lot lately: some FAQ's have been added to the Contact section. Maybe I need to change the button there now. Please, feel free to ask more questions, and I'll answer them! ~Lich |

When I took a gander at my site statistics today, I almost fell out of my chair. I've received over 150 hits in the space of six or so hours and those people are still coming as I write this. Much love and hugs must go to Prism for plugging me on Fireball20xl. So, to all of those people from corners of the world as far flung as Slovenia and Chile, I bid you welcome. Such a spike in my traffic prompted the release of v1.2 - all those things I was going to do on the scaled back v1.1 but didn't get around to doing them. Why v1.2 and not v1.1.1? Take a look at the start of your address bar. Hopefully there should be a little DTYvK Productions logo icon sitting there. Another change that should be working is a custom 404 webpage. Apart from that, there should be textual links at the bottom of each menu page now - it's how I've got around the No Flash problem rather than fiddle with complicated code I'm not sure about. The only other real changes are a new link in the Links page to the Favicon creator I used and, more importantly, the mailto: address on the contact page has one less "t" now than it did previously (whoops...!). Really, though, this has been a cosmetic change more than anything else. Although my writing skills have turned their attention towards the neglected Twilighter Council IS, there is another Rustling Leaves chapter currently in its "where do I go from here" phase, a small update is pending on the Pandoran Dictionary, work has continued on my latest upcoming opus, and serious consideration is being given to a new ongoing section of the Library: an Encyclopędia which would explain various facts, suppositions and fictions about my writing universe. That is, all of this will be up if university doesn't kill me or my catch-up of Animal Crossing (from the 6th December, 2004) doesn't steal me away... ~Lich |
