The Green Apple Cider

Sign of Life

2009-02-18T06:34:00.002-05:00

Well, again I have to bring up this Cheap excuse...
We're not dead.
The reason why there hasn't been updates in months is because for one we are all busy, and second, there has been some changes in Team members.
There are some members who hasn't shown up here in ages... and also, some resigned or stepped out temporary...
The thing is, everyone has their own things running at the moment. So we are short of people focusing on GACe at the moment. Also some of us have almost no time at all due to college.
Now for some infos behind the scene...

I am working on a Strike Witches Hentai Doujinshi right now, which will be hopefully finished around summer... or autumn...
At the same time I am busy with the entry exam for a game design college...
I am also working on a Visual Novel with the working title Doki Doki Bakery...
I've been writing a lot of dialogue and plot summaries due to that... also character designs of course...

I will make sure we will come back after things settled down a bit...

Stats

2008-08-31T20:30:00.003-04:00

I have no idea whenever any of you remembers this but... I promised you long ago that after the blog got ajusted to the net and we get enough traffic, I would personally give you an overview of the current site stats.

Towards the end of what is going to be a year, here's what we have gained up to now, thanks to your wonderful support.

It's not much, but it's a good start for a first year (and for a Studio running on a blog interface).

Without any further ado, here's the magic stats!

--------------------------------------------

Total Unique Visitors: 2840
Total Hits: 3489

--------------------------------------------

So yeah, what's so magic about this? The fact that we couldn't have done it without you. On November 4th, we shall post the final yearly stats to see what we have accomplished in a year. Good night to all and see ya soon!

-Dark Daxter

No, we are not dead... at least not yet.

2008-08-31T09:57:00.002-04:00

Yes yes, we know: it has been too long. Did you honestly think we began giving up on the project? I have only two words to say to that and I apologize in advance.

Hell. No.

Actually, these past two months have been hard for us. Some had a summer job to finance their survival project (most likely their fridge) while others will still stuck in school for their math classes or to take final evaluations to see whenever they remembered anything taught to them in the year.

Of course, in-between, we worked on the new projects, one which I'm halfway sure you know of already. The website is still under design and *I* can proudly that the coding will be done by end of November if I do the work in my spare time, since college started again and all that.

The artists are updating their stuff, but I'm not updating the gallery. So yeah, you can blame me for being lazy and not letting you view the new stuff... but you can check it out on their dA profiles.

In other news, we have a new member to the team which won't be revealed here unless someone kicks me in the butt telling me to change that stupid sentence that claims he's a secret. Well, not much of a secret: you know it's a he. To promote his work, we'll make a small special gallery for him in which you will be able to fully enjoy his stuff. He is a great asset to our team and we cannot wait to work with him.

What else... umm... hmm.... have I forgotten something?

I guess not. Ahwell... I guess that's our news for today.

Take care of yourselves, keep up the good clicking-and-or-referring-to-our-site work and see ya online!

- Dark Daxter

Updates - One month later.

2008-07-13T18:05:00.002-04:00

Hey everyone! Dark Daxter here bringing you what's new with GAC.

One, expect more updates from our artists as (to my knowledge) they'll be in a better position to update their galleries.

Two, the PSP Gallery has taken a new boost: new pictures, galleries and features galore! We added a newsfeed to the whole concept to keep you in touch with what happens.

Three, we are sorry for the lack of updates but trust us, things will get better once we get a steadier ground. We hope this will be soon.

See ya online!

News: Announcing a new member and gallery update

2008-06-14T09:27:00.002-04:00

Well, and again our 'family' grew with a new member, her username is JiniSingen.
She'll do her work as the webcomic artist for now, she has a deviantART and a Mangabullet accound, that for feel free to visit them on the following links:
http://jinisingen.deviantart.com/
http://jinisingen.mangabullet.com/
In my eyes she won't dissapoint us at all and I am willing to try giving her a chance to gain as much experiences while working with us as possible.

Meanwhile I will also officially announce my new gallery in which I will upload hentai related art... well... I ain't proud of it -_-;
It seems that I need to go through it to become a little bit better.

We reached a point where everybody seem to have split up to make their own experiences, I am sure that's a good thing for all of us. Meanwhile Dax and me are still working together on a few projects which won't be announced yet.

A website is planned for the next year and we are working on it right now, that is one of the projects which I can announce.

The website would be our official start for the public where we will add our webcomics from JiniSingen as well as announcing our several projects.

That's all for now and I hope, for another time, you all remain pantience... we are trying our best to make our progresses as fast as possible.

Tiz teh month of May!

2008-05-01T14:51:00.004-04:00

What better way to celebrate Quebecer spring but with a new staff addition and of course, a special welcome gift!

First off, please welcome, generously of course, Kuro Neko-Chan! *applauses*

She's a talented artist and a good friend of KAZuri, whom we undoubtedly love and cherish... yesh we do!

You can check out her art on deviantArt or check her profile on Blogspot.

Spring has come to celebrate her arrival in our team, while I sat down for an all-nighter and uploaded her art into our gallery!

D*MN PNG FILES xD (Still not done yet, in constant developpment but there is something for you to enjoy and hopefully you will enjoy).

Also, we would like to thank you guys for our 1K hit! I have definetly *no* idea whatsoever if the team is planning a gift for you clicking-on-green-apple-cider-fans, but... no actually, no buts... I really really really don't know what is going on concerning this.

So thanks for your clicks that gave up 1K, hopefully more soon enough :D

-Dark Daxter

Sorry for the troublesome time D:

2008-04-10T11:22:00.005-04:00

*Ara ara ~~;;;*

I think everything is more or less back to normal... excluding my finals of course...

So, I think we are ready for more updates soon :3

as specially in the gallery section... with me and BW creating some hentai sketches xP

-Kim

I guess there was but a little problem here...

2008-04-06T22:29:00.000-04:00

We did it: the gallery is back online.

We have also added new security, which is basically a disclaimer, explaining clearly what's in store for the viewers of this gallery.

Please read the notes and check out the legend, as it is important for both us and you. We care about our audience and we wish to keep them as safe as possible for now.

We hope you enjoy the new "safety" feature, please leave us comments regarding this.

Enjoy and thanks for your patience,

Dark Daxter

Problems

2008-04-06T21:27:00.000-04:00

We would like to announce you guys that the gallery is down for now, due to some server/coding errors. Trust us, we are working hard to bring it back online for you to enjoy our team's work.

In the meantime, feel free to check around the PSP Gallery, which has been recently updated.

We ask you to be patient with us as we are giving our 100% to bring the gallery back online. We don't know how long it'll take, but hopefully, not too long.

Thanks for your support.

Dark Daxter

Future updates

2008-03-29T09:43:00.002-04:00

Yes, I agree with you: we are slow on updates... but we are planning new features for GAC, and I decided to share what's coming up with you.

The gallery will have a major update, although it won't be released before some time. For now, we'll stick with the version 3.0 and keep updating it (the server stopped being trouble for us, and can be used to a good extent this time). We can promise you that the new gallery will be interactive and "lite", making it "GAC Gallery V 4.0 LITE".

The PSP gallery has to be modified of course: new pictures have been added, more updates have been made, etc etc... expect something good from there in the next few weeks.

As for the blog, no changes are planned at this point. We like it the way it is and there won't be much of a change on this side.

As any good gaming company/studio that respects itself, we want to make Green Apple Cider *interactive* to our users. We are currently working on a system in which you guys will be able to interact with our artists' work. Flash games, made by others as well as us, is an idea we want to develop up a bit. At the moment, it's only an idea, but feel free to share with us *your* ideas!

We at GAC hope you enjoy our current installations and look forwards to see more from us!

Gallery has been updated, so go check it out lol ;)

See you soon!

Redone School Uniform design

2008-03-25T01:39:00.003-04:00

I'm sorry for being absent for such a long period of time, I have difficulties with my PC as well as trouble with time management in my last semester of High School... I guess I will stay a bit out of service for some while and I sure hope another one of the team can take over for awhile, at least until I return...

However, lately I've been working on a better looking version of the school uniform for our first Dating Sim Game project, so at the same time, I've been working on a new look for the characters as well... I'm still looking for a more suitable style for this project thought....

-Kim

Cover lineart

2008-02-28T15:04:00.002-05:00

Well, I'm still working on the cover for our first Doujinshi Project...

Since school started again and I have to read 15 books at least this last semester... things will get pretty ugly around my sight... So... I won't be sure how much I can work on it...

The goal is still to finish it before August... but my hopes for it are starting to vanish ^^;

oh well, this time, I wanted to show you the Concept lineart for the cover... for now, I am not sure if I will keep that...

Continue my work and school...

2008-02-23T14:23:00.002-05:00

Phew, like everone sure have noticed, this place has been dead for quite some time ( over 2 weeks )

well, I had my holidays and I don't feel bad cause I deserved it xD!!!

However, I couldn't stop thinking about work the whole time... so I just kept things to a minimum...

I've started to work on our first Doujinshi Project... and so, hopefully has Buster Wolf... I won't stress him too much... since I know how troublesome drawing doujin can be...

well, I've decided to leave a little preview over here... so please enjoy, the first page with still missing some Screen Tones and the Text Bubbles... have fun ;3

-Kim

Devil Gun Showdown first concepts...

2008-02-12T09:49:00.000-05:00

The Main Character... I call her "V"... for now...

Some young chicky... she can control robots... somehow...

Well, lately I was ill, so I had a little time to do crappy sketches... And for some reason, I didn't want to continue on the current projects... maybe I thought that I couldn't do any proper art in my current state... so I've decided to continue with Devil Gun Showdown concept arts...

And I came up with a individual style for this project... So I've decided to announce it over here and I also wanted to show some prews.... here are 2....actually... the maincharacter and another side character... remember... DGS is a HENTAI project... it will be one of our first Eroge game... if we ever manage to do one... at least that's what I wish to do... sigh, life is short... so we might not start doing them at all D:

-Kim

Happy Chinese New Year

2008-02-07T12:31:00.000-05:00

2008-01-23T13:16:00.000-05:00

-Kim

Some news

2008-01-12T15:54:00.000-05:00

So... What's coming up?

Well, first, I'm going to add new mascots to our Team, there will be a total of 5 to 6 mascots in the end, and each one has one specific departement...

Cider-Tan is and will keep be, the Studios' mascot and my poor little scapegoat >3

Banana-Tan is, i know many of you won't like her because of that... and some will especially love her...., the Hentai section mascot... of me and Buster Wolf currently...

Grape-ChanShe has no special meaning for now... I've decided to add her to the fanservice section... since she's the youngest one and is somehow... cute on her own special way i guess...

Ichigo-Tan will be responsible for the Home Security Section... well, that means she will be the natural swear enemy of Banana-Tan I guess xD;;;

Melon-Tan, she will take over the Community Section... well, there's not much to add to it now...

Well, as I said, we have a Hentai-Section accound @ hentai-foundry, hmmm... yes...>>;

The accound name is "MilkyBananaJuice" yeah,.... veeeeery creative -.-....

Another thing is, that I might have found another freshwoman for our team.... she lifes near me, and that's what makes me especially happy... well, let us hope that the other members will accept her as well as I did ^^;

Preview: Banana-tan/Cider Huggle! ^^

-Kim

Kagamine Rin Fanart

2007-12-27T20:52:00.000-05:00

I'm back... well, I can't really said that I've fully recovered... still it was better than having no vacations at all...
I worked on a sketch I did few days ago... and here's the result... a Kagamine Rin fanart... which has the same theme as the Miku fanart I did earlier... I hope you'll enjoy it x3.

-Kim

Hatsune Miku fanart and....

2007-12-20T15:02:00.000-05:00

I'll be gone for a few days from the 23th on until 25th or 26th...

The reason for that is because I've overworked lately and my doctor told me to take few days off in order to recover properly... that's why I will be away for Christmas... and will, hopefully come back in a recovered state... well, I sure hope that the other staff members will do something new until then, as for me, I'm preparing myself for a project with Buster Wolf and I'm drawing Vocaloid fanart recently...

Until I'm back I won't be able to post anything new... so, I wish you all Merry Christmas and a wonderful time until then... ;3

-Kim

Gallery updates coming soon

2007-12-15T15:24:00.000-05:00

Dax asked me to write this...

We will upload the galleries in the coming up weeks, yes, even the PSP-gallery...
Please be patient until then. ^^

As for you don't have to wait that long, here's another sketch for you:

-Kim

Hello...

2007-12-15T05:13:00.000-05:00

Hi, I would like to introduce myself properly. I'm an amateur sketch artist who goes by the name of Busterwolf and various other names. I figure I should say something since I'm a part of this rag-tag team of artists. Anyway, I draw various things, mostly pokemon since I'm interested in it, but it could change depending on my mood. I tend to draw mature thing and tend to lean towards "moe" stuff. But I am now teaming up with my fellow partner, Kima, who is an excellent artist. I admire his works so, but anyway, sorry for the short introduction, but I just want to say something at the very least since I'm a part of this group.

Anyway, to everyone who reads this, Merry Christmas, Kwanza, Hannuakah and happy holidays to everyone.

-Buster Wolf

Rate Us!

2007-12-14T21:25:00.001-05:00

I know what I said on the previous post: no more updates... but I couldn't help myself you guys... so to make you wait, I give you the new rating system! You can now rate for the pictures you like, only in the normal gallery!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

-Dark Daxter

Gallery Update - New Pictures

2007-12-10T22:18:00.000-05:00

As promised, I give you the final technical update for now. Ladies and germs, I give you the newest sub-gallery of the Green Apple Cider Gallery, "KAz's Sketches"!

(Please note that the name may differ from the original product)

You can always go check it out by clicking here to get to the gallery or by clicking in the navigation bar to the right of the page, under the Special Links column.

I hope you enjoy, leave comments as always!

-Dark Daxter

Back to normal, stuff gonna be delayed.

2007-12-10T10:52:00.000-05:00

Due to the fact that some of us are in college, in their final exam session and need to study in order to pass, Green Apple Cider will be slow. This means no technical updates concerning the site, gallery and the PSP gallery will be announced.

We won't leave you waiting with nothing though... expect a gallery update with a new set of pictures, maybe two, until we get back on track, meaning after christmas (which is more probable to happen).

Yes, the staff, minus me, may post some new pictures, I have no doubt about this. But other than that, do not expect anything from me.

I am hubly sorry and I hope you guys can be patient...

-Dark Daxter

PS: The layout is back to normal, showing up three posts on the page.

New Header

2007-12-04T17:25:00.000-05:00

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know about the new header

*points to the top of the page for those who have not seen it yet*

The original picture was drawn by Kima, and I just added it to the layout.

Hope you enjoy,

-Dark Daxter

PS: Now, only one post shall be shown per new post instead of three. This means that every time someone posts a new article on the blog, only their article shall be shown. This method will save some space on our blog. It may be temporary or permanent, depending on the popularity of the layout. Polls will open in a few days.

CHINA DRESS x3!!!

2007-12-04T12:20:00.000-05:00

Yay xD!

I'm finally ready for our project now... more or less. It's wonderful, it seems the team is starting to trust me, this is a good sign for our teamwork! I discovered that I am the oldest member -.-... makes me something like a big brother huh?... That kind of sucks... However, now I feel responsible to take care of things, let's hope world doesn't go under because of that lolz ^^; however, my individual project is almost over, that makes me a bit relieved again, guess I can continue things now... btw, KAzu finally made it to the blog writer section too, I just hope that he will make good use of this, to make this place a bit more active, it hasn't been updated much lately and I hope that will change soon! D:

However, here's a picture for our first 100 pageviews xD
This is yet another nameless character, same as Mary, it's not sure if she will ever see the sunlight again, I guess not until we find a place for her... I wonder if KAzu is going to color her for us...

-Kim

A little introduction of our current team

2007-12-02T04:00:00.000-05:00

Okay, since I'm in a good mood recently, I've decided to introduce our current team members.

KAzuri is a really wonderful colourist in our team, he agreed to do the colorings and background illustrations for our next project.

Dark Daxter is our mastermind when it comes to organisation and programming, he is responsible for our sides's layouts and settings. He's also the lead programmer of our next game, a true friend, partner and lifesaver!

BW is the only team member who will work with me on a seperate project during our game project, the doujinshi project. I absolutely adore his drawing abilities, since he is really skilled in drawing poses, which i cannot D:, at least now... I want to learn as much from him as possible and of course, to make some good projects.

A yet still not a full member of our team is our young and talented clothes designer. She's our jewl and only female member so far... ( that's why I'm so happy about, a female member, isn't that encouraging? (°A°);;; ) If you are impressed by some clothes design we have here, think of her and thanks God for sending us her helping hand.

At last, the final member would be me... how should I call myself... an all'rounder? So far, it looks like that I'm sticking my nose into the other members works and try to learn as much as possible... I'm nowhere the best... you could call me multi talented... but I don't really think so D:... different from them, I still haven't found my place yet... I still don't know where I'm the best at... maybe in thinking of the stories for our projects? I don't know... however... I think that everyone in our current team is happy about my present... and that's why i have to keep improving to not let them down D:

Well, that's the current team of the Green Apple Cider... awesome huh? ^^

I still hope that our team is increasing, life would be less stressfull if we could split teams for seperate projects, that way we could be more productive for all the manga fans around.... let us hope that we will keep up gettin better xD

EDIT: This little picture of our little mascot is a gif animation, have fun ^^, it's free for everyone! except you want to use it for some reasons, ask us first... cause Cider-tan is © by the Green Apple Cider Studios...

-Kim

Preparing for Project

2007-11-28T15:58:00.000-05:00

Dear readers, right atm everyone in the team seem to be very busy with improving their styles to get ready for our first project. As for me, the Sketcher and Liner of the team of course try my best to also do my part as a team mate.

Here's something I was working on lately and I hope you will enjoy it ^^.

-Kim

New Gallery + Pictures

2007-11-25T15:32:00.000-05:00

The Dating Sim Project, which was supposed to be officially announced here on the blog, but due to Kima's big mouth, the surprise is ruined... lol...

*prepares a huge katana and hides it behind back*

All this leads to the addition of a second gallery, which can be found in the Official Gallery. Enjoy!

-Dark Daxter

Bugs

2007-11-06T21:01:00.000-05:00

We are currently experiencing some problems with the gallery, and so will you. Please note that we may have to delete the gallery for a while and start the whole thing over, so please remain patient with us, as we are working hard to bring the whole feature back to life.

We are sorry for this bug.

Let us say that we are in maintenance and that it may be a while before we get it back online.

Meanwhile, the PSP Gallery is still there, you can always check it out!

Sorry,

For this event, we shall celebrate with another set of news, which surely would make some of you happy... the SAFE Gallery is coming very soon! Expect to see it online in a few days, which shall contain KAzuri's pictures in the first SAFE Gallery!

Site Count Widget

2007-11-05T07:25:00.000-05:00

Just so you know how many people hit the site, we installed a small site counter widget, powered for free thanks to BlogPatrol. We are thinking about releasing the stats soon enough, but not yet... let's give the site a bit time to adjust itself to the net.

TTYS!

-Dark Daxter

Comments!

2007-11-04T21:50:00.000-05:00

You can now officially comment on the Green Apple Cider Gallery! Just under the gallery box, you should see a "Leave a comment" link. Clicking on it prompts a form allowing you to place comments. Please remember that leaving your email is very optional and a very personal option for the user him/herself. We do not distribute nor sell these addresses.

The staff reserves the right to remove any comments we found inappropriate, such as any comment that is racist or targeted at a specific user/artist.

Hope you enjoy the new feature, many pictures coming soon!

-Dark Daxter

Gallery online!

2007-10-22T21:29:00.000-04:00

Dear fans, the Green Apple Cider Studio is proud to present you the official Green Apple Studio Gallery! We have worked very hard to bring this first version of the gallery, which will be updated over time.

Of course, to protect our users, we have implemented a ToS, which is a Terms of Service contract which is set to protect underaged users from viewing mature content normally reserved to users who are 18 years of age or older.

Anyway, the gallery titles have their own ratings, so if you wish to check a specific gallery but do not know if it's rated 18+, simply check the rating on the title.

The SAFE Gallery is on it's way, and for users who wish to browse the gallery on their Sony PSP System, feel free to check our PSP-compatible mini-site here!

I hope you enjoy our work, as the team is working hard to satisfy you every day!

See ya!
