Yes, it's been a while but it's time for a site update. Continue reading after the list.

A number of things.
One, we need a description for the Kitten front. The story, mainly. Just a general introduction to the plot. In your own words! PM it to myself or Rhiannon.
Two, we need more Kitten material in general! Everybody get working on a project related to Kitten, whether it's hacking (you could work with me!), making icons or drawing fanart, writing some fics, making some FAQs (don't feel limited to text - get creative and I'll definitely work with you on how to get it on the site), scans, whatever. We just somehow fell down on the job when it comes to Kitten and every website on the internet seems to be ahead of us now. And that's just not right when it's one of the three things this site is focused on! So get working and get contributing. BREAK

PS: As always, other material is also still accepted and loved.

If only ripping sprites from DS games were easier...
):

[Dr Strum]

I'm working on it.

[Shadow]

Just tell me how and I'll gladly help.

[Raijinili]

it's haaaaaaaard.

[Dr Strum]

Get the program ndstool and extract DATA.SFS, project_wow.sdat and sound_data.sdat from the Kitten ROM. Report back when you've done that and we can maybe get something done.

Sturm I used DSLazy and manage to get those three extracted and some overlay stuff .bin things that I have no idea about so uhm I'll help rip the stuff. I'm trying to look for the voices, so far I got death cries :S

I noticed that sound_data contains BGM and the instruments used on them while the other one contains the sound effects and I can't find the voices except death cries. I'm guessing it's perfectly hidden that I can't find it no matter where I extract or it's in the .sfs for some reason

Monday you want to work on it? I'm going to see if I can get some of these DS tools working on the campus computers (fuck the homebrew community for making all these utilities Windows only and not providing any documentation or source for those without).

[Shadow]

I was planning to extract the archives tomorrow but well

sorry :/

[Archeia]

If you want me to help, I'll help! I heard a way to rip the sprites is using IDEAS and Artmoney. Altho I've been trying it my pc is far too crap for configuration in IDEAS :/

[Dr Strum]

My assumption is that that's not the sprite ripping I'm planning on. My guess is that's just "new frame of the sprite's animation: save".

[Archeia]

Basically yeah (since that's how I ripped all of Marietta's and Gulcasa's sprites X_X), but what art money does is it manipulates what sprite frames will show up by changing a value and you just have to screenshot it and save and yeah

[Dr Strum]

But that way you don't find any interesting sprites that never appeared in the game - for example, perhaps we can find Yggdra. We know they made her sprites as we can see them on JaJa's blog and in the DHE World Guide.
If we had taken your method we'd have likely never found Zombie Chappi.

[Archeia]

That's very true. Then again I'm no programmer or something like that that disassembles the program x_x

[Raijinili]

Neither are we. With all luck, we may add "yet".
