Studio News

The Free United Club of Kids video is now exclusive to this web site. It has been removed from YouTube, in the hopes that fans stumble upon our other works and subscribe here. The version on this site is of a much higher picture quality and correct aspect ratio.

This will be the case for our other YouTube videos in the coming weeks.

Normally a new video would appear at the top of feeds, nullifying the purpose of making an update this way. However, many of our videos that were previously posted on other sites needed to be imported "in the past" to keep existing comments in tact. Because of this, they would not appear as "new articles."

Today is an historical milestone for Cracked Egg Studios. We have launched a store system that sells physical products, and does so in a familiar category->product fashion. While we will be making further changes to the system over the next few days, this is the advent of a new line of product.

Spring is quickly approaching, and we have finally decided to act on NickyPhils' suggestion of years past: to sell Ni-Ki-Oh! merchandise, specifically T-shirts. Before March 31, a complete line of general Cracked Egg Studios, Ni-Ki-Oh!, and HoJeong T-shirts will be available, with new designs released every couple of days.

Since the store was just launched, please bear with us as we continue to make changes and work out some kinks. The shipping calculator has been giving us trouble, so you may receive an email while your order is processing partially refunding or requesting some additional funds. We do hope this is not the case, because it is mutually beneficial for your transaction to go as smoothly as possible.

Users who frequently visit Cracked Egg Studios to view our video content may have noticed it become sporadically difficult to get the videos to play in their browsers during this past week. This is because we were tweaking some new changes to the software.

After sufficient tests, we are pleased to announce EggPlayer 2.0. Users will notice 2 very helpful additions. The ability to seek to any point in a video by clicking the timeline is now possible, allowing users to watch only their favorite parts if they want to. At the end of most videos, a "Play Again" button will appear, allowing users to rewind a video, rather than having to refresh the browser as in the previous behavior. You will notice some other small changes like faster video loading times, the fact that the volume controls seem to actually work, and a more obvious distinction between the playback progress and the buffer progress, since the colors used have higher contrast and fit better into the rest of the site's theme than they had before.

While most significant changes have been made, over the coming days we will continue to modify the skins so that they more appropriately reflect our site's logos and themes.

Three years ago, the remake of Bongomon was created and privately screened. Fans anticipated the embedded internet video to appear later that summer, but technical issues forced Cracked Egg Studios to postpone this. The technology necessary was finally achieved last spring, and to treat the fans who had been disappointed month after month, Cracked Egg Studios has decided to release Bongomon now rather than publishing it chronologically with its other past works.

As of this past Saturday, the first episode of Bongomon has been available here: Bongomon - I Choose You!

Last night, I showed The Twisted Mile at a film showing called Feer at Fairfield University. It was received with much laughter and some confusion. Granted, most of the audience members knew me (and many of them Mr. T and Pegasus as well), and I gave an introduction, so it wasn't exactly a cold viewing. Many people gave positive comments on the comic nature of the film. The suspension of disbelief did not seem to be a problem for anybody.

Quotes remembered by audience members from the movie included "He owes me money" and "I was faking it!" One audience member, Tony da Costa commented that Pegasus was extremely "scary."

There were around 30 audience members present. The Twisted Mile was tied for third place for best film with five votes (first and second place received seven and six votes respectively).
