D-SuN's News

Posted by D-SuN - November 18th, 2014


I'm always eager to share content on Newgrounds - and so today I've uploaded some new art and music from an upcoming game title:

Armd with Wings Rearmed

The updated edition of my 2008 flash game is coming to PC very soon! Armed with Wings Rearmed vastly improves upon the original game with updated visuals, new audio, more levels, reanimated cutscenes and super cool bonus material!

Artwork: Vandheers Victory
http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/d-sun/vandheer-s-army

This is a still image from the new intro cutscene. Vandheer standing victorius before he slays the Lone Warrior.

Music: Awaken
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/593483

I produced this track myself! This is used as the gameplay theme during the first half of the game. It's ambient and eerie... not to bad considering I'm no master at music.


Definatly keep an eye out for Armed with Wings Reamred:

Wassup Newgrounds! I'm PUMPED FULL OF STEROIDS AND WILL HULK SMASH A BABY! And with that in mind, I'd like to announce:

Armed with Wings Versus


This new game in the series is a celebration really - Multiple characters, multiple modes, multiple battle arenas and more! It's you versus the horde - pick a character and rip 'em to bits!

Rather nifty gameplay eh? Those things falling from the sky are called Thorn Stones. They act as a Dark Creature Vessel, spawning monsters from the ground.

Check out some of the new enemies to be added:

715462_141338086921_monster2.png

The idea is to release the game this year with limited content, and continually supporting the game via updates. That means you get to play more Armed with Wings sooner - and you can even shoot me suggestions to include in updates!

HOWEVER, if you cannot wait until it's release, there is a way to get early access into the alpha! Keep reading to find out how (This is where I get to segue into....)

Patreon


I've just launched a Patreon Campagin! If you're not familiar with Patreon then listen up, because IT'S IMPORTANT. Patreon is a platform for you guys to supports creators like me. It's similar to Kickstarter - but instead you donate monthly (or once) to keep supporting me throughout long term.

Donations will REALLY help to keep me working on Armed with Wings - and trust me that is all I want to do. A sucsessful Patreon campagin will mean more Armed with Wings in the form of Games, Animations, Comics, Music...

The cool part is this, you get rewarded for your donation! I am constantly adding new content to my Patreon page that is only available to Patrons (those who support me on Patreon)!


- Early Access to my games - Yes, a early copy of Armed with Wings Versus is available for download on Patreon, along side AwW Remastered.


- Cool WIP animations - Want to see some animated fight scenes between Vandheer, Leo, LoneWarrios and Nebula? I put up another video today - a storyboard of Leo and Nebula hacing their first encounter.


- Sketch Book PDFs - I've got so many sketch books I've filled up over the years, years spent designing characters for AwW. Wonna see? Patreon!


- Get a physical Sketchbook -  This one is special, each month I'll be filling in a 30 page book for a special paton. I do my best to make sure each page is a work of art!


Please take a look at my Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/sunstudios

If you can, donate. If not, please share the page with others on social media :) That would be lovely.For now, that is all - More AwW new soon! Be sure to like the facebook page - cause I'm always posting stuff.

Peace out!

Daniel Sun

Sup Newgrounders!? I'll tell ta'll - Just launched my NEW WEBSITE BOOOM!

It's been 4 years... 4 long years since I launched Sun-Studios 8. The launch of a new website is always exciting for me... but this time it is different... this time marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life! Allow me to explain: 

715462_141156887591_sun_logo_3_png_2.png
Please take a look! Tell me what you think! Become a forum member and lets chat OKAY!?!?!?

Friends! Before I ramble on about MY STUFF, there is somewhat of an urgency to help push the MADNESS PROJECT NEXUS 2 KICKSTARTER CAMPAIN FORWARD!

Swaine and Kringles have reach %50 funding, but need more! 

715462_141039953623_photo-main.jpg

Madness is seriously awesome and deserves to a full fledge game. Nuff said. Go back it.


I have good news! Armed with Wings will be returning THIS YEAR! Yessss I knowww it's been like 2-3 years since Culmination.... I assure you that not a day has gone by that I haven't been thinking/creating/furthring the world of Armed with Wings. 

BEFORE THE YEAR ENDS THERE WILL BE MORE GAMES TO PLAY

Since the release of Culmination in 2011, I've been somewhat busy furthering developed characters, story and artsyle all to prepare for THEBIGONE - more news on at the bottom.

715462_141039880511_aww-cave-banner.jpg

In the meantime I've got two other projects in the works:


Armed with Wings 1 Remastered (not final title)

715462_141039883293_aww1-new.jpg

This is a vast improvment on the original game featuring the following NEW content:

  • Updated art/Animation
  • Additional Levels
  • New Audio
  • New Animated cutscenes

This game will be release first, and it will be a side by side release with my new website. Expect it soon, with active dev blogs starting next week @ www.armedwithwings.com 


Armed with Wings Remix (also not final title)

715462_141039887222_remix.jpg

Remix is still rather early in development, it's final direction not fully planned yet either.

Features include:

  • Leo playable
  • Lone Warrior playable
  • Vandheer playable
  • Survival deathmatch

I've also got local multiplayer vs mode working in some capacity - and it's FUN - rather smashbros like. With that said, it may only be included in a standalone, downloadable version. UNLESS I can find someone who could add online functionality - that would be cool!


The BIG ONE

The Ultimate Armed with Wings game... the BIG ONE! Still in very early stages. This will be a huge effort in which I will require much time and money in order to truely realize. As I'm looking at various funding options I really hope that fans of my games might be willing to participate in crowd funding on somekind. Would you support Armed with Wings?

715462_141039915043_bigone.jpg

That's about all I have for today. Please life, share, tweet ect... Finally, for all things Armed with Wings please visit

And if you have not played any Armed with Wings games, You can Play them here on Newgrounds!

Followers of my Armed with Wings Facebook page might have seen some video of Leo in Culmination.... For the past few days I've been working on getting Leo into Culmination.

The reason? I intend to make an Armed with Wings Survival game in which Leo is a playable character!

The result... speaks for itself:

If you can't see the video, just go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJXz-lTt3HI
I'll be working very hard to get this game out very soon! You guy's deserve some more Armed with Wings!


Posted by D-SuN - August 7th, 2013


Sup Newgrounds,

Been awhile since I've dropped a word bomb onto the internet - so here we go!
It's August 2013! Since Mario POWPOWPOW, I've been working hard on a few contract gigs. One of which was Laval Unleashed for CartoonNetwork.com!
Currently I'm working toward completion of another separate contract as well as various web development job here and there... Long story short, I'm keeping myself very busy.

Now Among all this money making madness, I've a couple of game projects in the pipeline. Those paying attention to my facebook page will have seen some screenshots of a new Armed with Wings 1. The truth is I'm going to revisit the previous Armed with Wings games - update graphics, fix bugs, include more content before packaging it up into a Armed with Wings Collection! Trust me it'll be cool as this is cooking to be rather delicious, you'll all love it. I'll be turning up the heat mid August with a more formal announcment.

Speaking of Armed with Wings, armedwithwings.com is live! Everyone flock there now and see! This website is my vessel - I'll be using her to blog the entire production of the 'BIG ONE'. The site also features my official artworks and illustrations as well as various pieces of fan art too!

For now, that is all I have. Have fun!

Sun-Studios August Update

This website will act as my vessel to deliver updates on the development of the 'BIG ONE'!
If you are a fan of AwW please follow this website and facebook page. I want Newgrounders to be actively involved in the AwW community! I want Newgrounders to have input in the creative process! Newgrounds is my internet home - and so with any game I make, I think about Newgrounds first!

That is all.
Thank you.

Hello Newgrounders!
Just released my new game Super Mario POWPOWPOW which has received Daily 4th today!

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/617766

The game is a Nintendo inspired mixture of Mario and Icytower. Featuring 15 levels, 6 unlockable characters, 7 acheivments and online leaderboards. Go play it already!

I'll quickly give you guys a Sun-Studios update while i'm at it. Currently have 2 other active game projects. One of them is contracted and under NDA. The other is Keyboard Command - a game I started developing last year with my art buddy Alex. The project came to a halt and was unvisited for months. Good news is that it is been picked back up and will be completed shortly.
Now that POWPOWPOW is out, I've got space for another 1-2 month project. I plan to spend that time developing Armed with Wings while also collabling on a short game project.

That's all for now. More at my facebook here: SUN-STUDIOS FACEBOOK
-Peace

Sup Newgrounds,
I've been working hard for the past 2 months to bring you guys a super cool Mario game mixed with some Icy Tower goodness. I guess I've been playing a little too much Wii U, which seems to have rekindled my passion for Nintendo games. I'm inspired once again to be creative as a fan boy and I must admit, it feels good. I may do another sprite movie/game this year - something to look forward to.

Check out the POWPOWPOW trailer below:

The game features 15 levels, various items/power ups, 7 attachments, 6 playable characters and online leader boards.
I'll be releasing the game on sun-studios nextweek. Stay tuned for more news.

Samurai Autumn is out now here on Newgrounds! Can everyone please play & vote?
PLAY SAMURAI AUTUMN!!!
The portal is a little swamped today, it's the first time I've seen so many 'under judgement' games - too much purple.
I realize that my season timing is off - but surely it's Autumn somewhere in the world. Samurai Autumn is a sort of iteration on top of Ninja Bolt - which is a really crappy android/flash game I did in 2011.

In other exciting news, I'm working on a new Armed with Wings! It's not the huge epic game that I've been hyping up... but another short flash game that will set the foundation for the new game. I've got some interesting ideas that I'd like to test out... one of them is using Box2d to handle collision detection. I won't detail too much more at the moment but keep your eyes stuck onto the Armed with Wings FaceBook Page as I hope to have some new info ready for next week.
Peace!

Samurai Autumn + New Armed with Wings
