Hey! It's the new year, and there's alot of stuff I need to cover for you folks here, so let's just begin and start off with some new things with work.


FIrst off, I'm now a voice actor in the new FNF mod, Forgotten By Ubisoft. It's an EXE Rayman inspired mod, and it's going actually pretty smoothly. I provide the voice of an antagonist for the mod, but I cannot say whom JUST yet. Just know its really cool, and I'm loving every moment!


Second, I've started work on a new FNF mod with a few friends titled "Saturday Morning Supershow"! It's gonna be a blast and I can't wait for you folks to see it!


Lastly, I've gotten some progress on vs. Arbiter, and I can't wait for you guys to see the final thing in action. It's gonna be great.


Thats all I have for now! Thanks much for an awesome 2022, be safe out there, and have a happy 2023 folks :D

As December comes along, I've seen soooo much happen throughout this past month that I've started seeing old friends again, been starting to change my attitude, everything. I can't stand much of a community that's kinda hurting itself.


That being said, I'm working on an FNF mod again. This time with fewer people and less stretch goals.


This mod, codenamed Project: Revenge, takes place canonically after the unreleased Week 2 of Elanor Takeover, the first mod I had made with old friends. With this new mod, I hope to make things SO much different from Elanor, as this isn't where Silver Knight is going to be anymore.


I'll be providing updates here later this year, and I've got so much more to say and do and talk about and its all just....


well, you'll just have to wait and see, my friends!


The Arbiter is waiting for you. Silver Knight will need ALL of the help he can get.

Hey everyone, it's Retro.


November is here, and I'm honestly trying my best to do things like get art out and try and do things for friends before the end of the year.


I have personally decided to delay both Curse of Elanor and System Re:Hash into mid to late 2023. This is because I want to get the Christmas special finished before the 5th of December, and I want to take a personal break from the internet once the new year rolls around.


In February, I made a serious mistake. One that cost me friends, my liability as a person, and alot of other things that really fucking sucked, to say the very least.


With it being 10 months later, I can't say Ive changed from what has happened, nor can I say that everything has gotten back to normal when shit hit the fan for me back in October of last year (ala my friends suicide).


Sure, my friends can say I've changed and have done better, but do I really feel better about everything? In hindsight I feel like a fucking failure letting so many people down. And still, to this day, feel like I do. However, I am desperately wishing for a change to fix that, or repair, or whatever I can do in my own power to handle it out and try and help myself out in any way, shape, or form.


As for other things, I've recently taken up a job at a local Cafe in town, and it has been a blessing to work under my boss, she's a wonderful lady and she deserves the world.


Other than that, I really have nothing else to say about today. Things have started to both look grim and yet in a turn hopeful. All I can really do is pray and hope for the best, you know.


Adieou,

Hey y'all! Just wanted to swing by real quick to give a quick update regarding some projects I've been making the past few months.


An Elanor Christmas Special: This special little comic will be revealed soon! I'm already about 1/4 the way done with it, and I should be fully completed with it come December.


Summary: The Silver Knight and others around Elanor celebrate and save Christmas with an unlikely ally.


System: Re-Hash:

This one is something I'd like to take more time on, so for right now, this one I'm still currently on planning phase.


Elanor Takeover: The 1 year anniversary for the demo release is coming up! (Nov. 20th) and I'd like to do something in regards to that. Dunno what, but we will see.


Other than that, I can't really say I have much else on the line here. I'm trying my best to try and stay as positive as can be, especially this past year. If you're curious as to why I'm trying to be, I've made a TwitLonger a bit ago explaining something that has really dropped my mental status down a lot this past year and current year, which can be read here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1ss4rdu


Thanks for reading y'all. Stay safe out there.

Hey everyone! It's Landon here again. You may be wondering what's been going on ever since my last post in May, so let's recap for a bit.


The biggest thing to happen so far from when I last posted is that I have a new girlfriend, Emily. (Well, we've been together before, but school and stuff got into our way, we still have been hella good friends for almost 8 years now lol)


Elanor Takeover has also been promptly cancelled, however that doesn't mean I'm done with Elanor in general. As I've stayed previously, Curse of Elanor is still coming. I'm speculating an August release, however it could change.


Alongside that, all of the characters for my next storyline, System Re:Hash is now complete. All I need to do is make up a story, which could take awhile.


Work has been the main focus I've been doing, and I've been doing pretty well at getting that accomplished. So far I've worked about 2 months now here, and I've been having a good time!


I think that will be all from me. Thank you guys :)

Hey everyone, Retro here. It's been quite awhile since I've last posted on here, being all the way back in December, so let's go through some things, okay? Aight, lets do this.


First things first: Elanor Takeover is still doing good! We're getting some good progress on there, and I'm excited to see where we go from this point forward!


For other small projects, I have two. System Rehash, and The Curse of Elanor. These two stories are coming out both in 2022 and 2023 respectively. I can't say much on both, but I will say you can expect Curse of Elanor soon.


For other PROJECTS I'm in, there's still a few im in and I am providing some support for!


For Instance, I voice King Dedede in an FNF mod. Which one, I can't say, but know this isn't your typical cute and nice Kirby.


Another one involves a certain bounty hunter, who is hunting after a certain female that reality hops :))))


And I voice Pop in the Von and Pop mod!


(Oh, another thing, I voice a certain butterfly in a certain animation coming soon as well! A certain.... butterfly... knight.)


I can't wait for all of these certain things!!!!!


As for IRL stuff, I'm getting back into working, which is why content on my end has, well, fucking been drastically reduced. I've been getting better pay, better ethics, anything and everything inbetween.


and lastly, as a final sendoff, I finally did something.

I finally visited my best friends grave. As you guys may or may not know, I had a friend named Travis pass away due to suicide in 2021. Well, ever since then, I've been trying to support his family and friends recently by hanging out with them, getting them things to sustain themselves, and trying to be a nicer person overall, as Travis would have wanted me to do.


Overall, my life has had its downs, and pretty good ups this year, especially recently. I cannot thank my friends who have been here to support me along this path.


Thank you all. I love you.

Hey! I wanted to make a small news post about some stuff me and alot of others have been working on recently and wanted to shed some light on what's to come over the next few months with my most beloved character, Silver Knight.


  1. Elanor Takeover

Obviously, the FNF mod has been a huge blast to make. We're currently in production of the Elanor Takeover 1.1 Update, the Terravon's Revenge Update! We're not only introducing him, but revamping alot of things that are going to happen in Silver and Hope! Be on the lookout for that update sometime next year.

2 . Rivals?

Oh yeah, this is was gonna be happening. Silver Knight either next year or the year after is gonna be joining Rivals of Aether as a playable character! I really really hope you guys are excited as I am for this to be happening, it's gonna be a LOOOONG long while though, so be patient for this one!

3 . Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart?

Yeup! Silver Knight is already a playable character in SRB2K! He's avaliable already on Google Drive!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w4SyZjbp0rZhCjKxHMqwA8P3Q9Jv2ApE/view

4 . More FNF mods!

That's right! Silver Knight is either going to be playable or is going to have cameos in more FNF mods! I can't wait for you guys to spot him across the FNF universe! It's gonna be great!!!!!


Posted by RetroUpgrade - December 15th, 2021


Hey everyone, just to give a quick ol news post so I don't die on Newgrounds just yet lol. I'm gonna start posting some art pieces here soon, so expect those! But I wanted to get into some stuff that might get a bit sensitive, but I feel as if I wanted to talk about it here today.


iu_498007_8815062.webp

When I first decided to make Elanor Takeover, Travis actually pushed me to make the mod. He was a huge inspiration to me, and hearing that he supported me and wanted me to do this was a huge push. Since his life really affected mine, I wanted to show alot of my appreciation by making this mod dedicated to him. I also had the permission from his parents to include this little memorial here too, so that's really nice, especially for me.




Going onto the Curse of Elanor, It's actually finished! With help from @Zombought , I was able to get a new complete story out which completes the Silver Knight's legacy. And yes, this is going to be it. There will be no other Silver Knight stories after these, this is the real finale.



And finally, for one final thing, I'm expecting Elanor Takeover 1.1 to be released next year! So uh, be on the lookout for that :D


Terravon is waiting, and he's getting very impatient.



Posted by RetroUpgrade - December 7th, 2021


Hey yall! Thank you guys so much for your support on Elanor Takeover! It's been a huge blast seeing you all enjoy it! Elanor Takeover will be updated to 1.0.1 here soon, which fixes a couple charts and small issues. Elanor Takeover version 1.1 will be a while though, as we have alot to work on with that! Be ready, cuz I don't think Terravon's gonna be giving up too easily.


Curse of Elanor has been pushed back for the time being, as the current story didn't align right with most of my hopes. On the other hand, more characters are going to be coming into the fray soon, including some made by my wonderful girlfriend, Aubrey. Be on the lookout for those, I'm hoping to get those done at least by March/April.


While Reaper's Proposition is done, I'm waiting for a certain something to come out as well, which you guys will see why here soon 👀


Also, if you don't mind, stop by my Twitter! I'm doing doodles for my friends for each day of the month to show my appreciation! I've already done 7 so far!


I can't wait to show you all what we have in store, plus what the future might have for us. Believe me, it's gonna be amazing! Just keep waiting a bit longer, and I'll have some really good stuff out for you guys REALLY soon!
