A slight setback, I think....

It's the end of the year and I don't really have that much progress to show for it....

• [SR3] Beware of the deadly Wiper.... er, Viper blade....

• [SR3] Since when did Arisa become a mechanic?

• [DCD/FRL] "So! I herd u liek destroyin' wurldz..."

I guess, everything gets remade eventually????

Looking back at earlier material I haven't touched in a while, it's easier to pick out elements that could use a slight fine tuning to them.

• [Den-O/STK] Re-designed "The Original Unlocker"....

• [Den-O/SR3] Another one ALREADY?!

• [SHF] A slight experiment, I guess. Created a re-design of Ryujin without referencing the older drawings....

• [SR3] Too much time-travelling, episodic stories and deadly, poisonous blobs....

Den-NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

It might look a bit short on new stuff this time... well, sorting out the behind-the-scenes stuff does take up quite a bit of time, I guess. The recent work load was split between working on the Decade crossover and plotting out the latest Den-O crossover. I think, rather than a bunch of random ideas, this time all the effort was put into Den-O? At least, I hope I haven't hit a creativity-block again....

• [SR3] It's just a common cold.... right????

Arisa: "I... don't feel very well..."
Suzumi: "Neither do I..."

• [Den-O/STK] More Imagins, inappropiate jokes and Eri-bashing....

• [DCD/STK] Well, I've almost finished the banner image. This is what I've done so far, so I think I just need to tidy it up a bit....

  

Ummm.... how do I.... speed beyond motion????

I really should, find a way to speed things up....

• [DCD-FLR/CHAIN] I never realized there were some close parallels when I made this....

• [SHF] Is this, a surprise reappearance in the finale....?

"Darkness may spread quickly like a plague, but is dispelled with even a speck of light."

"Envoy of the Heavens, Lumiknight!"

• [FLR/SR3/Misc] A bi-directional steering vehicle that is very difficult to maneuver....

"Right... no offense, but did you essentially build a hi-tech shopping trolley?"

• [DCD-FLR/CHAIN/SHF] I almost forgot, I need to somehow include a scene with Scour Vs Kenshi/Lumiknight....

• [Den-O/SR3/Misc] Ummm.... I don't think, I need to explain what's happening here....

Ummm.... a bunch of scattered ideas, I think....

Ok.... I'm juggling around a few new ideas. That's not really bad in itself, but I think I also need to concentrate  more on developing the existing stuff as well....

• [STK+] Came up with an interesting successor scene, but.... who's going to be the new protagonist?

• [DCD/Misc] Planned out some scenes for double attacks that never happened. I never knew bananas could be so deadly....

• [DCD-SPIN] Hmmm.... this, isn't turning out too badly....

FINAL FORM RIDE: G-G-G-GYO! >>>> Gyo Sphere

FINAL ATTACK RIDE: G-G-G-GYO! >>>> Decade Wrecker

• [SPIN] I think, I know how I want the finale to play out, and even remembered to include the original concept I was working from. Something about.... twigs?

• [SR3] "Right... 'Death-skin'. Nothing wrong about that at all..."

• [SR3] That didn't quite come across, as how it was intended....

Ryo: "-was pretty rough when you're barely hanging between life and death."

Shimi: "Ummm.... so, did you, make it????"

Suzumi: "..."

• [STK/FLR/SR3] Ohhh right.... so this is when the kidney jabbing started....

• [SR3] Well, I guess it's an F-word, kinda....

"I call this move, FFFFF!!"

"Should you really be saying that?"

"Annd why not? It stands for Fiery-Fun-Flairy-Flare-Fairy!!"

• [SR3] B-U-L-L-E-T Power....

• [DCD-tba/FLR] I think that's too many cards in one go....

Hmmm.... it's about time, the Sentries took the spotlight....

Well, I wouldn't say it was perfect, but I am utilising the Sentry tech slightly more than before....

• [SR3] Um, a super silly secret service? This is bad, right?

• [DCD-FLR/CHAIN] I think I'll try and merged the two concepts together to create "Reject no sekai". I never realised there was so much overlap but it kinda works....

• [SR3] "An intuder?!"

"What? You were expecting Darkwing Duck?"

• [SR3] "Not just a giant, it's a BFG. And not the friendly variety."

"....fun?"

"Shi-chan, that is so random and yet so wrong at the same time."

• [FLR] Added a few extras to the Z-Striker's Assault Mode; just chainsaws, chain-guns, shoulder cannons and boosters....

Well, it's a (re-)start....

I'm getting back into the swing of things, a bit.... It is mainly BLAZE and SR3 based (again) but it's better than nothing, I guess....

• [SR3] "Why didn't I ever use these before?"

• [FLR/SR3] "Oogala-Booga!!"

"Cut it out!"

• [FLR] Adding a few more touches to Kazuki's fighting style.

• [FLR] I think I have a better idea for the Plasma form debut scene....

• [DCD/SHF] A couple of random ideas, for Shift no sekai....

- You don't deserve to know his name!

- Invisible won't save you this time, Diend.

- Kamen Ride: IMAGO

• [SR3] "Get down yureru..."

"Cut it out!"

• [SR3] "Okay, what is your problem?!"

Ummm.... I guess.... this is Decade's fault.... too????

Hmmm.... well, I don't really have any new updates, for the past fortnight. I guess, I have been kinda wrapped up in other things as well, so the only STK-related stuff I've done, is what I've worked on for the DCD/STK crossover.

It does make it seem like the Decade side-project is taking up all my time.... Well, not really, but blaming everything on Decade is the popular thing to do nowadays.... right????

A bits-and-bobs update, I guess....

Well, I've been working on an odd set of things recently....

• [DCD-CHAIN] That's weird. This story's turning out better than the original....

• [SPIN] That guy can be a jerk at times....

• [FLR] Time for a quick, drop-down surprise special?

"That's... NOT safe at all!"

• [FLR] Thought up a more or less complete movelist for Smash Eri. Well, I guess that's something to tick off my to-do list....

Oh yeah, here is something I threw together after watching W...

And just for comparison, here's the original sketch, I kinda rushed the colouring....

Still backlogged.... I think????

Ummm.... I can't think of anything to say, again.... It's kinda annoying that I have enough free time, in theory, but no chance to properly use it. Well, I have re-started and and worked a on a couple of backlogged things, so I guess it's not a complete loss....

• [DCD-???] Not those two again....

"Come on, don't make me use THIS!" (FFR Flare, FFR Fin)

• [DCD-STK] I think I might have mixed up something.... Hayate Yamaguchi(Shogant) has somehow ended up pulling double-duty cameos as Tsukasa's accountant and as Terroba (Cobra Unleash Being).

• [SR3] Shiitake Miko strikes again!

"Owowowow...."

• [SPIN] Going out on a limb for Meta-Re....

• [SPIN] I also, played around with a few more finale ideas, while I was at it.

Oh yeah, one more thing.... This is an idea I've toyed with, but never got around to putting down on paper. Well, it did end up becoming an evening's worth of sketching and airbrushing.

I think.... I've found a new play-thing....

Well, it was originally a throwaway idea, but I've kinda spent quite a bit of time fleshing out the G2 characters. I think, it ate into the progress time for the other stuff I had planned.... Whoops????

• [SR3] Well, I was only playing around, with a colour scheme and design. In the end, it does kinda look cool....

• [SR3] I think, I've completed the cirlcle, or something....

> Akari > Arisa > Asaka >

• [SR3] Ultimate.... Cheese Laser????

• [SR3] Well, it's good to know that despite all the fancy stuff others can do, Suzumi is still great.

"Rider Storm... Arrow!"

• [SR3] Is this really a good time to have martial arts rumble? Wait, are you ordering food?!

• [FLR] This stinky water really stinks!

• [DCD-STK] I think, I have a new idea for a trailer....

• [DCD-FLR] I'm getting some really weird ideas for this....

27- Hit Combo????

If you keep on beating a dead horse, is it meant to come back alive and beat you up????

It's something I've kinda realised for awhile now.... I've mainly focused on developing Project STK and its spin-offs much more and neglected the other stuff, most of the time. Well, I guess it is better to do things one at a time.... but I'm not really sure if some of the long-term plans might end up becoming over-saturation, by the time I get up to them....

• [FLR] "And HOW did you get here so quickly!?"

• [FLR] Not quite the legendary pose....

"Hatchhhh!!!!"

" ... "

"I'm certain many people are dying on the inside after seeing that."

• [FLR/Misc] Deja....vu?

"Hmm, now I wonder what just came down... Let's go take a look!"

"Why does this sound like a repeat of Chapter Five?"

• [DCD-STK] I couldn't resist....

--IDER! On the distant planet of-- "Turn that garbage off!"

• [RTS] War is about survival, nothing else. Worrying about trivial things like friends and family will only get you killed.

"Spoken like a true lonely man. If you're too damn stupid to figure out how emotions can give you an advantage, you're already a loser."

• [SR3] A seafood and mushroom udon dish with chilli sauce.... Everyone's happy, I think????

• [SHF] Not time for a promotion?

"It's surprisingly hard work to avoid a promotion, you have to make sure you only do half-decent job."

• [SR3] "That's what happens when you try to micro-manage fun."

• [SR3] I dunno how I should label this.... Generation 2????

• [SR3] That's kinda put a damper on things....

Nnn--

NNN--

NNN--

Oh...

• [STK/SRW] Goji, can you please stop throwing things/people....

• [FLR] It's kinda weird that Su-chan can fill in different roles, despite acting exactly the same....

Well, on the less random side of progress, I've been going over some of the dialogue for Mk. 08 and making a few tweaks. Now for a custom car, I should choose an appropiate car horn....

"Meep-Meep!!"

Ummm.... I hope my brain's.... not melting....

Hmmm.... my ideas feel like they're kinda drying up recently.... maybe I need to take a break from those 2 player DS matches???? I guess, those New Super Mario Bros. Vs mode matches are kinda addictive sometimes....

• [SR3] I think, I kinda realised a "Fire Force configuration" isn't really subtle....

• [SR3] "I'm not a kangaroo, I'm a wallaby!"

• [DCD-SHF] I know this is premature, but I already have a few ideas floating around....

• [SPIN] I think, Meta-RE didn't deserve that....

• [SPIN] Dynamic intro for a dynamic form????

• [SPIN] This form intro is kinda.... ummm, infinite?

• [SPIN] I'm not sure if it's a good idea to give Cardmando dual railguns, it might be a bit too much....

• [FLR] I guess, that's one way to leave your mark....

• [DCD-FLR] I don't know if I should do this, it's going to end up very wierd....

Well, I guess I have done a few more things than I thought, like this first draft for an action scene....

Ummm.... need to think.... of a title.... Su-chan Style????

(EXTREMELY BLUE WARNING)

"What, already? Gee, someone must be running out of ideas..."

• [FLR] Shouldn't this have been posted last time?

"I'll call it: the "I hitting, you go boom"-style!!"

"I'm certain it's meant to be Flare Double Blow."

"What? No way!! That name is way, WAY too generic!!"

"It says it right there on the watermark!"

• [SR3] I think, you REALLY need to lay off Eri....

• [SR3] Screwed up the future, AGAIN?

(Whoops....)

• [FLR] Ookay...

"You know? My favorite part of Particle Physics is smashing stuff together!!"

• [Misc] I am sure by now that we all know my nephew is a TrRyo. (And WHY am I given such awful puns to work with?)

• [FLR] What do you mean you're practicing your Gundo!?

"One Blazing Bullet, ready to go!!"

"What was THAT?!"

"Okay-okay, don't say it. We should'a gone ghost busting..."

"...please share whatever it is you're on. You might just make sense for once."

• [FLR] We REALLY didn't need to know that!

"--can enter any place with light."

"Hm. At least that's one place I won't have to worry about!!"

"..."

• [FLR] That's... not... style... (Ummm.... Not's not style?)

"Well, ummm.... this is my.... style????"

"Ha! You missed."

• [FLR/SR3] We... honestly don't care.

"Uhhhaaaahhhh.... now my bag smells of bananas...."

• [SR3] Mushroom overload, right... What's next?

...

Oh. So that's it?

I don't know, what I'm sliding into....

Ummm.... can't think.... of an intro....

• [SPIN] I haven't finished the first designs yet, but Cardmando's planned upgrade is going be an "expansion pack".

• [SHF] Stab, swing and smash. I think, simple and effective works for Tyrant form's finisher....

• [FLR] "....there was a hole in the back, so I plugged it up with some plastercine I found...."

• [FLR/SR3] "We have our raisins."

"..."

• [FLR] Is Eri, losing it.... big time???? "Psyche!!"

"...Twenty-five, twenty-four, twenty-three..."

• [SR3] Shi-chan always ruins everything....

• [SRW/STK] Hmmm.... I can't think of a good place to fit in a Streak/Impact IMAGO combo....

• [SPIN] GYO RAVEN looks a bit familiar....

• [FLR/SPIN] Ummm, not that kind of "gyo", I think????

• [FLR/SR3/Misc] Those one-size-fits-all tops look kinda, tight....

• [SR3] Ummm.... need to think.... of a reason....

"Just... WHY did everyone turn up at the beach?"

• [SR3] Handguns as well, Arisa?!

• [SR3] Uhhh... Black-holes do not work that way, Goji....

I seem to be, starting and stopping a lot, recently.... Well, at least, that's never happened with my driving....

Hmmm.... I think, the title kinda summed up, what I already wanted to say.... It's a bit annoying, that I haven't found a solid block of time to work on things, since I don't get as much done as I want, when it's broken up into an hour or so, here and there. Well, I have carried on, clearing up some overdue stuff. At the same time, I started getting side-tracked for the last few days, up to and including the weekend, with that Ryukendo sketch I made two months ago....

Ok, that's enough ranting, I think????

• [FLR] How thoughtful of you, Shi-chan.

• [STK/FLR] Who needs a locksmith with Ritsuki around?

"I suppose you have a better solution?"

"Yeah, I got the keys right here."

"...You broke the door down, AGAIN."

• [FLR] Goji can be quite thoughtful too, I guess....

"Can I help look after bike no.4? "

• [FLR] "Yeah, ummm.... time, to pick up the paste?"

"Honestly Shi-chan, can't you get it right just ONCE?"

• [EDG] A slight re-design of Paladin's form....

• [Den-O/FLR] "As a sea-food lover, I find this highly offensive!"

• [FLR] That's not really a good reason....

"What's wrong?!"

"Your colours don't match my bike."

"You're being ridiculous!"

• [FLR/STK] Placing in a new rival for Kenny, which can also make a good intro scene for Decade. It's too bad he can't match Kenny's "secret weapon".

• [SR3] I'm sure, emulating non-Rider characters breaks the rules I originally set out....

• [DCD-STK] Sketched out a few designs for some cameos. I think, it's kinda becoming an all-star cast....

• [SR3] A "sensible" girls only night???? (It's not a Kenichi joke, this time....)

"Excuse me? The two of you make up over ninety percent of the craziness around here!"

"Oh Suzu-nee, no need to get all humble on us now!

"Afterall, I'm pretty sure you've done more than 10 percent of your share."

"Ab burb ma tunb ageb...."

"..."

• [SR3] Ummm, Sword + Sword = Bigger sword? Ok, I think no-one's normal anymore....

• [SR3] Gekkou-Shadow-ike? I think, this one's not really fair....

Oh, thats' right. I did mention I cleaned up the Ryukendo sketches earlier, didn't I?

I really, should pick up the pace, somehow....

Hmmm.... there's alway something new to get in the way, every week. I think, I need to somehow, make time to try and get more things done. Well, I'm kinda running out of time, in some way. I did promise myself to get the first chapter released before I'm older than everyone in the main cast, but the problem is, the story starts with a two-parter and I would prefer not to leave too big a gap between the two.... I think getting as much of Mk.02 finished as soon as possible is the main priority, right now.

• [SHF] Finished plugging in the numbers for the Rider stats.... And that's when I (re-)realised how ridiculous RyuJin really is....
  

• [Den-O/STK/Misc] An Imagin possess-athon, I think????
  

• [Misc] Why do those two get their own mechs, when no one else does?
  

"Although this may sound ungrateful, that's NOT necessarily a something good!"

Well, ok.... So do Kazuki and Ryuhei.... and I guess, technically, there's also Shigeru/aki and Kenichi.

• [FLR/SR3] Who needs price comparison websites with people like these around?
  

"Hmmm.... the mushroom prices here aren't very competive...."

"I guess, I should let them know.... or maybe I should try and.... haggle????"

"Stoppp... iiit..."

• [SHF/FLR/Misc] A quick re-do of the HR Super Special sequence. That could have so easily gone wrong....
  

• [STK] No deeper meaning behind this, honest....
  

"Kidney squeeze!!"

"Ah! Don't do that!"

• [STK/SRW] Had a random idea for solo-unit exclusive, "Break Attacks". The idea was based around the attacks from Shigeaki and Flare, obviously....
  

• [FLR] Too much enthusiasm, I guess....
  

"Oop. Oh well, you can take that one to your grave."

"Honestly..."

• [FLR] Was that drop-kick intentional????
  

"Just doin' my stretches!!"

"Show-off."

• [EDG] A "tea-pot"? Uh-oh, Shigeaki's going to have problems paying his tabs again.
  

• [FLR/Misc/DCD] Honestly, how the heck can anyone get their parcels mis-sent to another dimension?
  

• [FLR] "Me Shimi master of tea ceremonies but no wisdom. Ouch! I think, I burnt my fingers again...."
  

I think, that should be it. I heard there's a new Front Mission coming out for 360, but there's not much info about it right now apart from a few screenshots. I still need to get get a 360 as well....

I think, there was something I was meant to do, but I forgot what it was....

I've mainly, been catching up on unfinished things from my backlog, or re-shuffling some existing stuff around. I guess, in terms progress, nothing really new was done, recently.... Well, I did work on a small request, last week, but I shouldn't need to talk much about it. I think, it's going to get shared around enough, without my help.... 

• [DCD/STK] I might, think about adding in a "bonus form" since, well, I'm not going to use it much anyway....
  

• [SPIN] Finally chose a name for the card-using, Tech-Rider: Cardmando. I think, I'm the only one who would actually find any of these names remotely funny....
  

• [DCD/STK] I think, I kinda cheated with the final enemy for this "world". Solcano Rex: Powered up by the Souchaku Hybrid system, a fire dragon-themed armour based on the Aura system....
  

• [DCD/STK] I thought I'd, just add in a few Velos traits....
  

• [FLR] I guess, having Shi-chan around does have some benefits....
  

• [FLR] Worst night ever....?
  

• [Misc/Den-O] I'm not sure, why I've never thought of this before the Den-O arc of Decade started.... Well, there's definitely a lot combinations to try out, in terms of possessions, but I think the stupidest ones involve Shi-chan "sneezing-out" an Imagin, somehow. Ohhh, yeah.... and Su-chan puts on the best perfomances, obviously:
  

"Won't you let me string you along? Hmm..."

("Don't even THINK about it!")

• [STK] This was kinda pointless, but I've sketched out an "extra" scene that caps off the ending to the Velos movie.... UPDATE: Ok, a slight change of plan, I think I could use it as an opening to the second EX story and as an in-between development stage to the difference in the Gekkou abilities moving from STK to FLR.
  

• [DCD-STK] If I think I know what the photos in Decade are meant to show, I could pull off another in-story reference.... and a little in-joke, too????
  

"..."

• [??????] Finished.
  

Maybe I've been looking into Super Robot Wars too much lately, I'm getting a bunch of mech ideas that I don't really know what to do with....

My messed up schedule is a kinda mess....

Ummm.... I don't have any more weird stuff to retell this time, for better or worse.... I guess, I'm working on too many side-projects at the same time and end up not getting enough done, so.... I dunno, maybe I need to work on my prioritization.... a bit????

• [STK] It's a butterfly bikini redux. Shigeaki always becomes an even more fun character the more I use him, I just never realised he was involved in advertising so much....
  

• [FLR] Are you going to start using words yet?
  

"..."

"????"

"..."

"....

????"

"..."

• [SRW/STK] Ummm, I don't think this is really suitable content....
  

"I dunno.... I've always thought of myself as kinda average...."

"Shi-chan, you probably shouldn't be doing that in public..."

"Huhh? Oh yeah, right.... Good idea."

• [FLR] Good speech, Miss Tea-herb teeth....
  

"Uhhh.... it's not that bad, is it?"

• [FLR] Remember to bring hankies for the toilet....
  

"Uh-oh! Good thing I came prepared, huh?"

"What?"

• [SR3] Came up with a full name and initial concept sketch for Dasaniga Riji.
  

• [FLR] Ummm, no problem here, this is perfectly normal....
  

"No. Not until I get a piece of Shiitake."

• [STK] A list of preliminary kanji names. I guess, someone drew the short straw....
  

Kamen Rider Koushi

Kamen Rider Kousen

Kamen Rider Kouen

Kamen Rider KenRyu

Kamen Rider Satsu

Kamen Rider Tatsumaki

Kamen Rider Yuugou

Kamen Rider Shintate

Kamen Rider Shippuu

...Kamen Rider Kajiki

"Not funny..."

• [SRW/STK] Speaking of which....
  

Wrath of Ken Ryu:

"OKAYY!!! This time I'm going to let loose! ... Ten Ryu Double Punch!!!"

Dynamic kill addition:

"Not yet!!!"

"Yeah! I've got what it takes, too!" (Kenryugi: Air Smash Rider Kick)

• [STK] I guess, this is one of the rare occasions where I make meaningful development. I explored origins for one of the later antagonists, in more detail and how they tie in to the "legacy" issue that is brought up later on. I kinda also managed to relate this back to the character/Kryptonian he was meant to be a pseudo-homage to....
  

• [FLR] Hoppity, hoppity, jog, jog?
  

• [SR3] Shi-chan: More effective than chastity belt.... This stuff is getting too weird....
  

• [FLR/SR3] Nice serve, bonehead....
  

• [FLR] Nothing is sacred anymore....
  

• [Misc] Touching is fail.
  

Hmmm.... I've kinda been adding in sketch images a lot, lately.... I'm not sure, but is this just an early sign of me being lazy and not writing descriptions????

Nnnn.... It's all happening again....

I've kinda, been trying to sort stuff out, recently.... Well, I think I've got the Decade high out of my system or at least, have it under control more or less, I think. Anyway, I guess it's a good thing to get things more clear and try to make it so there are less distractions.... And then, the F1 season starts again.

It never ends....

• [FLR] Well Shimi, we always knew you were numb....
  

"How... fitting."

"Well, I couldn't quite fit the word number, so I had to shorten something...."

• [FLR/Den-O] Just a few quotes to note down....
  

"Hey, Ryotaro. People's memories will restore all this damage right?"

"Uh, yeah. ...why?"

"Heh-heh."

>> FULL CHARGE

"Ore no Hissatsu Waza - Part Three: Riser!"

"Aha! Have a taste of what I've been holding back for fifty years!"

"Fifty?! Dad, fifty years ago you were still--"

"Exactly!"

• [FLR] I know it sounds stupid, but putting prescription sunglasses over contacts is an easy mistake to make.... Ummm, right????
  

• [STK/FLR/DCD] Based on Diend's powers, I might just manage to put Impact IMAGO and GDR-03 into regular continuity....
  

• [FLR] I'm sure, I've heard this before, somewhere....
  

"You better watch out, major butt-kicking is back in town!!"

"Oh, come up with your own material for a change!"

• [STK] That's a crazy pair of sunglasses you're wearing, Eri....
  

• [STK] Uhhh.... who normally plans to overload on power????
  

• [SR3] I think, a name like Team Necklace isn't very subtle at all....
  

• [FLR] Oh come on, Kenny. Wearing pearls won't make you look girly.
  

• [FLR/SR3] Uhhh.... this is meant to be delicate subject, isn't it?
  

"I dunno.... it never felt like, a big deal, for me. I guess, it was just something I needed to do, someday...."

"Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you know what we're talking about?!"

"Ummm, I think so???? Something.... about bees wanting honey or something?"

"You just HAD to make it worse, didn't you?"

It's been kinda slow on development for the past two weeks. But at the same time, the things which cause these distractions are as equally random as the stuff I usually come up with....

Weird.... the more stuff I get done, the slower I look....

This isn't really related to anything here, at least not directly.... Anyway, last week I finally managed to get around to buying an original 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure. Seeing as this year is the 25th anniversary of Transformers, it is kinda bad that I've left it this long. I mean, I've also likely missed out on being able to get the MP-04 complete set at a (semi-)decent price, by a few years. Actually, I've kinda realised now, that since Transformers will be celebrating their 25th this year, it maybe wasn't the best time to buy any anniversary-related products.... I always kinda screw up timing like that...

• [SPIN] Slot in a card, give it a tap and blow stuff up. That sounds quite easy....
  

• [FLR/Misc] An idea for a Mugen creation: "Smash" Eri's a ninja, with over-excessive explosions, a "Shot-ken" and even more mish-mash phrases.
  

"Heat-Shot!! Extreme Burning, Shotto-ken!!"

• [FLR] Another old GDR-01 idea inherited by RayZ, the Photon Cage ability.
  

• [SR3] Even for fancy-dress, this still doesn't make any sense....
  

"Shi-chan, your basket's full of mushrooms..."

"Well, I didn't think.... anyone was going to check????"

• [SRW/STK] Came up with an unlockable, "Ultimate Mode" that merges and splits up branching story events at the same time. I guess, that doesn't really make sense in writing here, but it also leads on to the "true" final stage, which wraps up a certain plot element from the STK series in a definitive way that I haven't properly attempted before. I honestly don't know who has it worse, Eri or Ryo....
  

• [SR3] "Slide" is such an imaginative name....
  

• [SR3] Roll-call time....
  

(Ahhh, I forgot what I was going to say! It was something really cool, but now it's locked inside my stupid brain!)

"Open.... Damnit, open!"

"Shi-chan?"

"I CAN'T DEAL IT NOW!!!!"

"O... k..."

• [DCD/STK] Guardian "Fortress" is quite a big upgrade....
  

• [STK/Misc] I'm getting carried away with these birthday puns....
  

Shimi: 4/4

Eri: 3/12

Kenny: 9/24

Goji: 5/2

• [SR3] I can't believe I'm going to name an attack as "Mizu Smash"....
  

• [FLR] Is it a common cliche, for female characters to end up falling under mind control?
  

• [DCD-STK] I really do have no respect for my own characters....
  

Ok.... just one, last minute addition to make:

• [DCD-STK] >>FINAL FORM RIDE...

The most non-canon cross-over in the world, kinda....

Well, I did say, I was going to make a separate post for this.... I'm still missing a few pictures, but I guess, I could add them in later.

Ummm.... I think, the last update kinda gave things away, when I labelled it as [DCD-STK].... so I guess, I could talk about it here freely, in more detail.

(Right, the first thing I'll do is cut out the Shimi-speech. That should make it easier to describe everything without having to re-phrase whole sentences with the pauses added in.)

One of the things I like about Decade, is that it gives you the "feel" of another Rider series without really spoiling any plot-important elements in the actual show; or at least only vague hints that mainly those who watched that particular series would pick up. I think it's quite a good way to introduce these different settings and even provide some background, while still leaving in the surprises for a first-time viewer to enjoy if they start watching these other series.

This idea made me start thinking about how the STK series could be condensed and re-interpreted into this format. Well, what started off as a stray thought developed into a side-project that I might do one day, but considering the slow start STK's having, it will might be quite some time before I start working on this properly.

Anyway, it wasn't as hard as I first thought, since I've already planned out the major points of the overall story for STK, I just needed to pick out the relevant portions to play around with. In some way, it is a sort of "test" to see how well a grasp I have on my own work and how malleable the concepts are if placed in a different situation. In fact, after I make some head way into STK, I intend to offer anyone who's interested permission to re-interpret the stories and characters as they see fit. Having already re-made a number of parts at this point, I'm interested to see what else could be done, in a "compairing notes" type of experiment.

At the moment I have a loose outline of what's going to happen, still subject to change, of course. One of the best ways for me to get my ideas down is to jot a few sketches, although I feel that they do look slightly gimmicky right now:

FINAL FORM RIDE: E-E-E-EDGE (EDGE BREAKER)

FINAL ATTACK RIDE: E-E-E-EDGE (DECADE COMET)

FINAL FORM RIDE: K-K-K-KOUSEN (KOUSEN VULCAN)

FINAL ATTACK RIDE: K-K-K-KOUSEN (DECADE BULLET)

I've also formed a short cast list for who I want to appear. I'm trying to keep it as bare-bones as I can, while including some in-jokes that relate back to the series:

• Jo Kawasaki - Kamen Rider Kousen
  
• Ken Hikawa - Guardian Rider Edge
  
• Suzumi Sawano - Kamen Rider Fin (I'm going to still carry on that long-running gag, so Su-chan hasn't changed AT ALL. She's even wearing the exact same outfit from Mk.01!)
  
• Mishi (I know, I was being purposely lazy with her....)
• Ryoji /(Elijah Kenichiryou Hisawa!!?? - Satssin Rider)
  
• Ryoji's mum (Erina)

I've drawn up character sketches too, to give both an idea and reminder of how I want them to look:

• He might look like Goji, but he's actually Taiki in disguise.
  

• It might not seem clear in this image, but Kenny's doing a Ritsuki imitation.
  

• Su-chan's.... just Su-chan.
  
• "Mishi" is supposed to be a Risk Assessment.... Officer.... at the Police. She actively updates her diary as day-to-day things happen, pulling down her wraparound shades before she gets to work. It's hard to pick out the details, but she's also wearing two headbands (one thin plastic and one broad cloth) and also has an inverse pony-tail. I guess she's still a weirdo, just in different ways....
  

• Hey look, it's Ryoji and her mum.
  

Ok, here's some notes for other bits of information I have lined up:

• Tsukasa's an international-level, professional motorbike racer and the only S-Class Guardian* in existence, outdoing both main Riders of this world. 
  

(* S-Class Guardians have complete autonomy and unlimited access within the organisation. They also didn't exist in this world until Tsukasa arrived....)

>> ***Abnormal activity detected. Requesting aid from all available S-Class Guardians.***

"Streak's world..."

- VRMMMMMMM -

"Or should that be Edge?"

• Natsumi and Yuusuke take a tour of the new and improved Guardian HQ, with some unexpected cameos.
  

• The Rival Rider is going to be Dash. Ummm, I'm really sorry about this....
  

"Uhhh.... wait, I'm not evil, so.... what am I fighting.... for????"

"Oooops. I think, I forgot why I even came here...."

Lastly, here's a select few quotes from this story:

"You have a boyfriend?"

"Well... yeah, we've been seeing each other for a whi-- Oh look, JoJo's over there right now!"

"... Why do you call him that?"

=

"I haven't seen the blue Rider for a while, I wonder who he is?"

"I'm sure you'll find out someday."

=

"Alright, I'll just add that to my diary now... I'll usually forget by the time I get home."

"I'm honestly glad we're not going to hang out often..."

=

"Oh, thank goodness! Officers, I need some help. My son's wandered off again and I don't know wh--"

"Boo."

=

"You're riding him!? Should I even TRY to comment on what that's suggesting?" (I... don't even WANT to comment on what's being suggested!)

"Yo-Yo! You didn't mention the fist!!"

Ok, that should be it. My break's over, so it's time to get back to those Eri photoshops....

Ryollin', Ryollin', Ryollin'....

Hmmm.... I've been getting a lot of distractions, recently.... It's good that it keeps me busy, but I guess, it's not really a good thing that there's so many things I need to do, that I'll need to back-log them for quite a while. I think, I'll need to do some re-organising and re-scheduling to sort things out properly. I wonder what Su-chan would do....

On to the random assortment of quotes, I guess....

• [SHF?!] An alien from the planet Lumin? Quickly, get the Luminite!!
  

• [SHF?!] Oh hey, Ryo. How did you get here?
  

"Kill kill kill! Die Die Die!!

...

Just playing."

"Oh Ryo, now what've I told you about cutting back the homicidal-ness by juuust a little?"

• [FLR] "Just... Who or WHAT is this Vector-like man/thing and why are we fighting it?"
  

• [SR3] Is this.... actually possible????
  

"Huhh? I think, I have a bit of a problem...."

• [DCD/STK] "I knew it was going to happen..."

I'll add the info for this in a separate post, once I organise the info properly....

• [EDG] Head-on collision
  

• [SR3] A mock magical girl team, dressing up, questionable bribery, and unforgivingly delayed brainstorming. This stuff is getting a bit crazy....
  

• [Misc/SHF] Oh.... so that's why Shiggy-kun couldn't fight....
  

• [STK] Another Guard>Agile scene again
  

• [FLR/EDG] Shigeaki's moving in.... did this, really happen????
  

• [FLR] "Oakie dokie!!"
  

"Uhhh.... Doki (beating) Oak????" / "Uhhh.... do oak trees, have a pulse????"

"...what!?"

• [CELL] Kamen Rider [CELL]: Arise in the Future 
  

• [FLR] The secret of the necklace....
  

• [EDG] I think, I have a name for one of the systems built into Paladin's form: Reaction Active Photons. I've kinda also linked it to the same feature in SNT-00, inadvertedly....
  

• [EDG] The scolding hot tea is scolding me....
  

"I'll be OK! Shimi-san does this to everyone all the time!"

"Not all the time...."

• [STK/Misc] "I can't believe it, my wish finally came true... I'M A REAL BIKE!"
  

• [SR3] I think, Su-chan's on to us....
  

"Alrighty?! Wow, you sure are being compliant today, Suzu-nee!!"

"Are you really that surprised? Even when I say no, something will force me to follow your crazy schemes anyway. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME."

It's kinda weird, I'm making a lot of Ryo ideas recently, for some reason....

(Extra comment):

Ohhwww.... they stole my idea.... but, I guess the official one does look better than mine....

I'm kinda re-treading old ground.... maybe I need a better map????

Lately, I really haven't been as productive, as I would have liked....

Quite a bit of time, has been spent going over existing material. I think, I've smoothed over a few elements, re-did a bunch of stuff and also, moved some minor events around. Really, it's not as chaotic.... or whimsical as it sounds; a number of these changes actually foreshadow later developments, very subtly or help them gel together better....

Well, ok.... that's not the only activity that's been slowing things down.... After all this time, I finally got Front Mission 4 and a decent amount of the past two weeks have been devoted to it. Any way, I hope that I do at least manage to get through it, unlike my half-finished run of Shadow Dragon that I more or less dropped, especially after FM4 arrived....

• [FLR] "I need MUCH bigger hands, to properly convey what I'm feeling right now."
  

• [STK/FLR/Misc] Trust Eri to indecently man-handle the English language... with style!
  

• [FLR/SR3] Ummm, just.... testing myself????
  

"UghhHH! It's so hard to walk on ice...."

"Shi-chan, why didn't you just go around it?"

"Uhhh, I.... Oh yeah...."

• [STK] One thing at a time.... I think????
  

"Ummm, yeah.... I was too focused on trying to block, and I forgot about counter-attacking...."

• [STK] This can't be right....
  

"Hmm... that's quite a strong argument, but you don't have a ROCKET LAUNCHER!!"

• [FLR] From number-crunching.... to bone-crunching? I think, something's missing....
  

• [STK/Misc] Ooops.... I just remembered, there was a Flame Fusion introduction scene, that I had forgotten all about. I guess, I should make use of it, somehow. Well, I have already managed to slip Bolt Fusion into a scene, kinda....
  

• [STK] It's more a science, than an art....
  

"Well, I can't really jump.... not that much, anyway.... I guess, I'll have to get by with stairs...."

• [FLR] Customer.... service????
  

"...and while I'm holding onto your whopper, wanna go large?"

"Can you PLEASE stop speaking?"

• [FLR] Reading it again, this sounds kinda wrong....
  

• [EDG/STK/FLR] Re-balanced a few existing stats and finally added everything for the GDR-03 family.
  

• [FLR] "Precious, precious mushrooms...."
  

• [FLR] I think, Su-chan's remark about bigger hands applies here....
  

"Stupid, stupid Shi-chaaa.... owwww! I hurt my head...."

• [FLR] Whatever you do, you're the only one who's going to lose out in the end. Sorry Su-chan....
  

Hmmm.... I think I've been getting Decade on the brain, lately.... like I expected....

It's kinda been a mixed bag of ideas, over the last two weeks. Well, once again, it's one of those updates where there's not much to really say, but the chaotic and un-cohesive surge of ideas kinda speak for themselves....

• [SPIN] Refined the designs for Shield form ver.2 and as a bonus, began work on Panic form, as well.

• [STK/SRW] Put a few plot ideas together. I guess, it's easier to go over it in more detail, in the closing paragraph....

• [Misc/STK] KAMEN RIDE: NOT CANON!

• [Misc/EDG] Evasion % = Dodge % + "Dismiss Limits" Skill

(Dismiss Limits = Enemy hit rate x Enemy hit rate)

I guess, it's a good thing that Ritsuki's not a video game character....

• [STK] "ORA ORA TORA!!" (Time to say hiya, to good ol' Mr. Tyre!!)

"Can't you at least TRY to make sense?"

• [FLR] Kazuki has now received quite a few upgrades....

• [FLR] Ummm, Ice slip?

"Uhhh.... I think, I heard something click in my neck, but I'm ok...."

• [SPIN/Sentai] The Project SPIN counterpart has been given the tentative title, Kodai Sentai Chikaranger. Coming.... I don't really know!!!!

• [FLR] I wouldn't exactly call that a blindspot....

"Shi-chan, how long have you been doing this?"

"Ummm.... only, a bit...."

• [FLR] Well, at least.... dehydration shouldn't be a problem.... would it????

"Shi-chan, I have a feeling you drink too much of... everything!"

"Yeah, I guess...." *sips her drink*

Ok, I'm just going to place a list of SRW-themed scenarios here that I came up with. Since these spoliers cover the an entire story's events, I'll hide it behind white text:

• Pre-story chapters: One set while Ritsuki was in the SAT, another with Sentry armour Goji during the parallel world events, and possibly an even earlier one featuring Velos and Shroud.
• I played around with the idea of running EDG, STK and FLR events simultaneously. That means, most major characters will be available very early on. 
• I plan on placing Goji and his events on a route split, seperate from the others. In a way, his abscence will mirror the setting for EDG and FLR.
• Choices can be made to determine whether story events follow the EDG, STK or FLR path, or even a mixture.

The following is a list of secrets/unlockables that I've thought of:

• IMPACT/IMAGO and REFLECT-FLARE: A kill count requirement will keep Shigeaki alive for the rest of the game. Aura and Kaizo-Flare are not available. Reflect-Flare is also unlocked.
• Keep AURA: Never choose to deploy Aura. When fighting Kai-SOL, stall until the Shift characters appear. INCORP cannot be obtained.
• CENTURION RIDERS:  Prevent the Sentry armour from being stolen. Ray-Z will not be available, but the three Centurion Riders appear(convincible). The Sentry armour remains available for use.
• INCORP : Unlock IMPACT/IMAGO, then prevent the Sentry armour from being stolen. Ray-Z will not be available, but the three Centurion Riders appear(convincible).
• SEIKEN(Falcon-Being): Only available if Ray-Z is obtained.
• SATSU and ALERT FIN: Unlock IMPACT/IMAGO and select Eri when forced to chose between the Sawanos.
• PALADIN'S FORM/PHOTON OVERLOAD: Choose between the options of Re-fit(GDR-01I) or Re-build(GDR-01R).
• DUEL STREAK: In the final Streak/Cyanide encounter, defeat Cyanide without changing into STREAK(Gekkou) or using "Silver Bullet".
• VELOS and SHROUD: Defeat Scourge with Streak, Velos and Shroud's Combo Attack, with Shift Support Attacking.
• SWIFT STREAM-J: Swift has to give/receive 4 Support Attacks/Defends or perform Combo Attacks with both Edge and Fusion.
• SWIFT STREAM-I: Swift has to give/receive 4 Support Attacks/Defends or perform Combo Attacks with Fusion and receive 4 support defends from Streak.
• SHI-CHAN: Defeat the Switchblade-Mussel Kaizo-Being using Fin's "Rider Arrow Kick". Support Defend Shi-chan with Fin. Defeat the Gattling Gun-Tiger Kaizo-Being with Shi-chan's "Photon Blaster Kick" while Fin has 25% HP or less. Shi-chan becomes available when Swift has 150 morale.
• "EDGE-STREAK-FLARE Combo/Super-Charged Kougeki/Yuuki no Nekketsu" Combo Attack: Only available on the default path. (Obtain GDR-01R, kill Shigeaki, kill Ryuhei, choose Suzumi, obtain Ray-Z, gain Kaizo-Flare).

Oh yeah, one more thing.... I could probably fit Shift: IMAGO into the Tamashii story if I placed a time-jump somewhere along the story....
