Hello new artists. Goodbye old ones.

Good news and bad news scenario here.

The bad news
Calis Projects has parted ways with 2 former artists.
NikNaks and Dewitty are no longer with the label.
Calis Projects would like to publicly wish them luck on their current/future projects and declare that the staff is sad to see them go.

Good news
Calis Projects has gained 2 new artists.
We would like to welcome Minorthreat and Ivanna to our team.
They went through the longest interview process any staff ever went through so I know these 2 will be right for the team.
We’re looking forward to see what they come up with us.

Forum is back online. It’s upgraded and better.

February 11th, 2010 Neo-Dragon No comments

The forum is back online.

New forums. New Sections. New rules.
An update I though would take an hour end up taking 3 but it was worth it although I do have some bad news.
The good news first.
We are up to date.
We are running on vBulletin 4.0.
We are using the generic skin for now until we find/make a better one. So give us a bit of time of that.
The forum itself is a lot cleaner and the profile pages are also a lot better looking.
We have new sections. All for the members too.
We added all new sections just for the members.
We have updated the Forum Member’s Creative Showcase section completely.
There are 2 main forums now.
Forum Member’s Games and Forum Member’s Artwork and Writing.
Forum Member’s Games is broken up into Drawing Board and Showcase. To keep things simple we borrowed the concept from pokecommunity, since that is where most of our user base comes from.
Forum Member’s Artwork and Writing now has 3 sections. 2D and 3D artwork showcase, fiction, and a new one, Blogs.
Blogs tend to get lost on vBulletin. Normally on vBulletin blogs are like tacked on and take you away from blogging. Now, I’ve decided to set up a forum where your free to post your blog as a thread.
With this brings…
New rules.
New rules have been posted as threads in each of the new sections, so make sure you read them.
I plan on adding even more and upgrading the member’s experience here.
Please leave some nice comments below.

The Big Announcement

January 10th, 2010 Neo-Dragon 1 comment

It’s finally here.
The Calis Projects Big Announcement 2010.
Let’s get the ball rolling.
First off, let’s get the bad news out of the way and work upwards.

Calis Projects has said goodbye to two former staff members.
00Vampire and DarkPegasus are no longer with us.
We would like to wish the two of them the best of luck and hope that they don’t give up game development.

We have also said goodbye to some projects. Like ProjectMartyed for example.
A few other projects behind the scenes are now gone.
These projects did not evolve with us as we grew, but rest assured we still have great projects we are working on we have yet to show.
Keep your eyes peeled for future updates on our projects.

August Emerald, a game being developed by Dewitty is no longer under the label. The game is currently going through some changes and it is not fair to showcase the game until the changes are finished.

Something we have already mentioned, but now as the good news starts rolling, our first biggest change that is a positive one is that we are now calisprojects.com – finally. We are no longer my-lifeonline. The domain (the old one) will still work for about 2 more weeks, but make sure you switch over your bookmarks to calisprojects.com- and if we are not book marked- why not?

Sub teams can now be formed by the Calis Projects staff.
As we start to grow, and our skills are always growing, our developers need a hand sometimes.
We Calis Projects staff so busy and everyone helping everyone, sometimes needs of developers are not meet fully.
That is why Staff members can now set up sub teams to help with their projects.
If you become part of these teams (picked by the project leader) you will have access to the staff private forum for that project but you will not be apart officially of the Calis Projects Staff. Only people selected by myself (Neo-Dragon) are Calis Projects official staff… But if you are part of a sub team, you will be a mod, along with your other team members of your private project forum.
The point of the private forum is to allow you to work in a secure online location with your team without the public seeing.

Pokémon Carbon is now back and developer FMP is now back under Calis Projects.
FMP had joined Calis Projects a few months ago and had to leave because of personal issues, but now he is back and brought his amazing project, Pokémon Carbon back.
Make sure to check out his section in the Calis Projects Games section.

Speaking of Calis Projects Games section…
Neo-Dragon is no longer going to hog the spot light.
We are now growing into a label that does just more then develop games.
We have amazing artists under our label, and now it is their time to shine through for us. These guys are the reason why Calis Games look so pretty, so make sure you take some time to check out their artist sections in the new “Calis Projects Artists” section.

Speaking of artists, We would like to announce that Calis Staff member Dewitty has switched roles.
He is now a Calis Artist and no longer a Calis Developer.
We know this role will suit him great and look forward to seeing what he does.

And finally.
A Calis surprise.
I’m sure most of you skipped down to read this section.
At least I’m guessing the staff did.
I have kept this a secret from them for a long time (although someone guessed this….. Kiwi…. looking at you with beedy eyes)
The staff were not even aware of this surprise.
I can now finally tell all.
We have…
We have…….
We have a new developer!
Wichu
Wichu has now joined Calis Projects and will be under the label as a Calis Developer.
We are still working out some other details (like is his game part of the label), but his skills are for sure.
So please leave a comment and welcome him.

Well I hope you all enjoyed the new stuff we have shown off.

In case you didn’t notice
The main page of the website has been updated.
New buttons added, and video logs are now embedded into the posts on the main page.
We have also added a Donate button.
If you have a payal account and like the work we do here at Calis Projects, please donate to us.
Any money donated will go towards the label and paying for costs (since as you know, I’m only after buying the new domain name).
We are currently working out a “One off Payment Reward” system for members, but nothing is set in stone yet, but when the staff have made up their mind, we’ll let ya know.

Thanks.
