M49P:WU – Making the Transition
Well as you all should know by now it is no longer 2009 but 2010. This will mean that for the next month I will be writing 2009 I mean 2010 on my checks. *Facepalm*. I am planning a lot of updates for this coming year, I am finally happy with the way the site is laid out and there probably wont be many changes to the design, only to the content. As you can expect, however, not all of my content will survive the new year. This past year I discovered that I have lost some motivation in certain projects and also learned that some need to be cancelled. Because of my school schedule getting harder this means that for this next year only projects that require less work will be released. So without further ado here is the list of the projects that will make the transition into the new year.
Stargate Timeline:
I know that this past year did not see ANY updates to this project but I still have the files and intend on finishing this series. I have gotten plenty of emails about restarting it and will do so. I will not give a date for when the newest chapter will be released but it should be out before the 11th. I have to reinstall the script writer as well as catch up on what was written so far. But fear not we will not leave Kirk and the gang hanging.
Fight of the Pegasus:
My SCI-FI/Mecha Novel will be returning with chapter 3 and on. I hope to complete this novel as well. Now what I want to say here is why I chose this format for a novel. Well SCI-FI is obvious, I was born and raised a Trekkie as well as a Stargater. The transforming ships idea came to me in 2008 when I was introduced to “Super Dimensional Fortress: Macross”.
Plot Summary(SDF Macross): In 1999, an alien spaceship crashes on South Ataria Island and makes the human race aware of other life in space. Ten years later, the ship is reconstructed and christened as the SDF-1 Macross. However, on the day of its maiden voyage, an alien race called the Zentradi make their appearance on Earth—thus beginning Space War I, a UN Spacy/Zentradi war that would change the history of both races forever.
The Macross is the ship that the FCS Pegasus is based on and where the idea of transformation (M.A.T.) comes from. The name Pegasus comes from my University, which has the Pegasus as the academic logo. This series as I have been saying before was published in a magazine, however, due to recent problems that publication has ceased to exist. If anyone wants to start a newsletter for M49 or their own site. I would be glad to submit this series to you for publication.
Stargate Genesis
Now I would like to let you all know that SGG will NOT make the transition. I know this is not good news, however, the game will still be supported by M49P. I am considering (not sure yet) giving up the source to someone if they can show that they will improve it and complete it. I know that SGG has been our staple product however, I just do not have any more time for it. But I do have something else on the back burner of my mind that may resemble SGG. So fear not it will not be gone for long.
M49Gallery has been moved underneath the Resources section. In Resources you can find different Research, and other material that I will make available. Our first “Resource Paper” is called “Selection and Design of Welds”. This was a paper that a group I was in for class wrote to help understand the different weld styles.
Well that is what is coming for this next year. I hope you all enjoyed your New Years and have a wonderful 2010.
God Bless
Matthew
