Hi everyone, I know it has been a while since we’ve given you a proper update. As you all know, Andy recently made his journey back to Australia, and this has been taxing on our time in all regards. Rest assured, nothing is abandoned, delays are temporary, and projects are all still in the works.

Firstly, the UJ comic updates have taken the most noticable beating into shortened page uploads since Andy’s arrival. We apologise for this, although we thank everyone for understanding our current position. Time has needed to be taken out of comic time in order to allow Andy to settle back in, seeing as he’s just shifted himself to another country for the next year and possibly the rest of his life. We’ve needed to re-adjust things and hopefully, UJ Deviant Cause will go back to regular updates. We will be reviewing the schedule itself, for although it has worked, it may be subject to another change.

If You Believe will be ending its hiatus as of this week and the coming weekend will see new IYB strips again. This update schedule is also subject to change in future but for now should remain at fornightly Monday updates.

As Andy mentioned a few weeks back before his flights, the wallpapers and the donation system are going to change. Calendars will be removed from the existing wallpapers from this year will go under the heading 2008 instead of Calendar wallpapers. The donations system will switch to a single link in which donators can leave notes as to whoch wallpaper they would like as a gift and we will be emailing them out manually and individually.

With that said, the Halloween wallpaper this year will be chosen through a poll on our forums. Readers on the forums were encouraged to suggest themes for this wallpaper, which will be decided through a vote. Tomorrow, 1st Oct the poll will be created and readers are invited to vote for the wallpaper theme they’d like to see. The runner up of the final vote will receive a free copy of the Halloween Wallpaper. The winner of the vote, will not only receive a free copy of the halloween wallpaper, but will also receive a set of glossy prints of the four covers of Ultima-Java: History, signed by Andy, myself and Steven Olden. Voting will end on October 10th.

As the Mauve Mage comic continues to run into problems and delay so too does our morale take a beating to get this spotlight work done for the forumite, Mauve Mage. Very soon we hope to correct the problems that arose and finally have it online.

Now then, as mentioned before Andy and I have been tied up with getting him housed and settled in Australia again. He hasn’t had time to finish his final video for his moving progress. Like everything else, it’s coming soon!

Lastly, some site changed and and updates could be just around the corner, look out for changed and upgrades, and thank you for donations that keep the site running.
