8/23/2013- Latest Updates

-I haven't posted any new sketches or other mediums of art lately, but in the coming weeks, I'll have more concept sketches and other content ready to be shown here.

-Since the previous list of updates, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Reflex is now on its eighth story chapter! Links for the chapters (from the fourth, to the latest) are below:

-Now that I have the good news for this, I also have some bad news as well. I will be taking time off from writing new chapters for this story, because I don't want to focus so much on writing fanfics and updating them...especially when the summer break is nearing its end, and the fall semester is starting in a week or so. However if I do find the time and energy to write again, I will continue development on SEED Reflex as it is, when I'm given the chance to do so. 

-Roses in the Wild, which is the other multi-chapter fanfic I'm writing as well, has already been updated in the first two chapters for changes that would add and remove certain elements in the story. I will keep editing the rest of the chapters already in place, and from there, I will update with new chapters to continue on with the story. 

-Well, it looks like more information regarding Battlefield 4 was revealed at Gamescom most recently! There will be an open beta for the game available on the PC, PS3, and 360, with the exclusive beta starting October 1st for those who are Premium subscribers with BF3, those who have pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe edition of BF4, and those who have pre-ordered Medal of Honor: Warfighter (or bought the "Limited Edition" of the game anyway!). The open beta will then start on October 4th, and will end on the 15th. Furthermore, the exclusive and open betas will feature the multiplayer map "Siege of Shanghai", and the multiplayer mode will be Conquest. Battlefield 4 will be out on the PC and current-gen consoles (PS3 and 360) on October 29 for North America, and November 1 for Europe. It will be out for the PS4 on November 15 (November 29 for Europe), while the Xbox One version will be also out sometime in November. 

-More on the new information, Battlefield 4 will also have a Premium subscription service, which will also have the same perks and benefits as the Premium for BF3 is. The five DLCs that will come with the Premium subscription (and possibly as downloadable packs that can be purchased separately), are listed as follows: 

• China Rising, which will feature four new MP maps set in the Chinese mainland. Along with that, new vehicles and high-tech equipment will be featured in this DLC.
• Second Assault, which will feature four fan-favourite maps from Battlefield 3 and redesigned with the Frostbite 3 engine. Reportedly, the four maps that will be featured, are: Caspian Border, Gulf of Oman, Operation Firestorm, and Operation Metro.
• Naval Strike, which will feature maps that are suited for dynamic ocean combat taking place on the seas. 
• Dragon's Teeth, which will feature maps that take place in war-torn cities in China. 
• Final Stand, which will take place in the conclusion of the war during the year of 2020. 

-Second Assault will be available on the Xbox One first as a time-based exclusive, before it will come out for the other platforms. Moreover, the second-screen feature for the game ("Battlescreen") will not be available for the PS3 and 360, due to technical constraints with the consoles in particular. 

-Well, it looks like I may not grab a bite at the CNE's Food Building, after the latest news that happened. Seriously, 100 people had food poisoning after eating from a restaurant in the Food Building at the CNE, most of the cases coming from an item called the "Cronut Burger". Can you believe that? I could, but it really does make me think twice about going there for lunch or a meal while visiting the CNE. 

And that's it for the latest updates and developments. Stay tuned for more!
