New Sora attempts at Ciem: Inferno trailers

Dozerfleet Studios has released a new compilation of Sora renders to YouTube. These are the algorithm's attempts to imagine the plot of Ciem: Inferno. These trailers now also feature on the wiki pages for the pending novel and for the Sims 4 story pack adaptation.

Clearly, Sora struggles to understand how dart shooters, centilegs, and Zeran teleportation work. Centipede combat is not something the algorithm is trained for, so it keeps defaulting her to moving like Spider-Man. Even so, this is a promising start to envisioning the story as an actual film.

A Dozerfleet-originated joke gains official recognition

Beginning in early October of 2023, a new meme was born, showing fake AI-generated movie posters for nonexistent Disney and Pixar films, which took the low-grade value of recent film ideas to come out of Disney and Pixar, and then exaggerated the absurdity of it by showing the studio making films that contained hilariously inappropriate subject matter.

On October 16th of that year, Foldify released the following video to YouTube:

The 17-second mark features a fake poster for a movie dubbed Freezerman, about Jeffery Dahmer. This was actually taken from the official BulldozerIvan channel on DeviantArt, part of Dozerfleet Comics. The gallery folder in question is dubbed "Tasteless Pixar," and is all about subjects that Pixar would most likely never approve of producing as films.

In addition to Freezerman, the following fake films were given posters in that collection:

• Heil Honkler! (About the Honkler memes from 2019)
• Monkeypox!!!
• Who Let the Dogs Out?: A Horror-Comedy
• Steven Hawking and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Eternity
• The Devil You Know (about Obama)
• Tide-Podcalypse Now! (about Trump Derangement Syndrome depicted as a zombie apocalypse)
• Steinle (about the murder of Kate Steinle)
• Being Arecely Henriquez (a movie about the pregnant woman attacked by George Floyd)
• Adrenochome
• Corn-Pop (inspired by Joe Biden's infamous speech)
• Winnie the Poo Rules China Too!

While the Dahmer joke may have the most YouTube infamy, the most controversy-stirring one so far appears to be the joke about Steven Hawking meeting Jesus, as it caused several atheist trolls to come out of the woodwork shrieking.

Today's world is so debased and degenerate, so offended by the idea it needs Jesus, that you could literally make a children's movie about Dahmer, and the world is less offended!

What's next for the videos?

There aren't yet quite enough images to piece together a proper Eccentriaverse walkthrough; though most of the essentials are already in place. A Dromedeverse walkthrough is just about ready, though the Trapezoid Kids have yet to be remade with AI.

As the Database still waits for news that it can be rebuilt on Miraheze, priorities have shifted to completion of Corando's Don't Lose Hope. After this, production can begin on Blood Over Water. Ideally, the latter can reach completion by some time in February. An Eccentriaverse AI video can then be pursued in March, when Volkonir 2008 production is set to resume.

Completion of all such Volkonir-related comics and videos will then allow for proper for-profit Volkonir literature to be written at any time. However, research on the Bozeman area may have to wait until at least the following year. There are plans tentative in May of 2023 for a trip to Lewes, Delaware, to study the area for The Trapezoid Kids, Grillitan Diner, and Camelorum Adventures. Such a tour would ideally be followed up by one of Bozeman, and one of Captain Cook, Hawaii.

A tour of the Philippines is doubtful, as is a tour of North Bay and Yellek for Anarteq: Guardian of the Soo and Experiments and Offspring. It would depend on how crazy the regime is feeling as to whether or not it would even be worthwhile to enter.

Travel to Shanghai and Hong Kong for Extirpon 2, The Call Him...Black Rat, and Little Shanghai Hornet seems very unlikely, as does travel to Tokyo or to Baton Rouge for Mukade: Reinvention and The Bison Reborn.

Ideally, Blood Over Water and Volkonir 2008 can both be completed before journey to Lewes becomes an issue. Release dates for the Eccentriaverse and Dromedeverse AI showcases will also be contingent upon how well the video does for the Gerosha showcases.

The Gerosha Chronicles, According to an AI, now available on YouTube

You can also watch it here.

Dozerfleet Studios and Dozerfleet Comics spent the months of October and November of 2022 compiling attempts to rebuild much of The Gerosha Chronicles using the AI art generator app Wonder, by Codeway Dijital.

The 2-hour video that resulted compares the results of the AI's efforts to re-create various Earth-G7 characters with their pre-existing renders in Spore, MakeHuman, The Sims 3, The Sims 4, GTA 5, Far Cry 5, Adobe Fuse / Mixamo, and other rendering software.

The results were actually pretty impressive, as the AI was able to get some characters pretty close to how they were supposed to look. The text-to-speech app Narrator's Voice TTS was also employed, to give voices to some characters.

For all the characters and story works in progress that feature, there were a few that didn't make the cut, due to lack of renders / time, or due to difficulty getting the AI to comprehend the characters. While Stephanie Barrin was easy, Seth Lambrelli wasn't. Pilltar only features his Sims art, given how difficult he was for the AI to grasp. Likewise, Strawberry only features as Sims art in the video.

No one from The Tragedy of Lord Zeras nor Feud of Three Worlds features in the Origins-related sections of the video. Only Inukpak features from Experiments and Offspring. Only John Domeck himself features from Of Angels and Icicles. Kicked Deer renders came out too late in production, to say nothing of Shrouded Entity or any others. Likewise, only Stan and Shalia made it into The Battle for Gerosha's section. Fantisk, Luddin, and any other supporting characters were absent. Apart from Pam Marcones herself, no one else relevant and new to Extirpon 2 features. Spoliat didn't get featured. Similarly, for the first Extirpon, only the man himself got renders. Nematode didn't get one in time. While it would have been nice to include them, Greg Travin and Detective Hallower from Cherinob 2 didn't make it to the final cut of the showcase.

In the Legends portion, no renders were exported for anything from the following works:

• The Gray Champion: Chillingworth's Revenge (even though Chillingworth and Mapacha are mentioned later in the video.)
• The Gray Champion: Shaken Dust (even though its events, as well as Brackett and Hibbins, are later referenced.)
• Extirpon 3
• Pilltar 3
• Navyrope
• Navyrope 2 (even though the Navyropes are mentioned later on.)

The Orient section skipped Mukade: Reinvention entirely, even though Charlotte is referenced later on in the Legacy and Sodality sections.

Likewise, the Legacy section merged parts of Ciem / Anarteq: Kahoopiliana with Ciem: Ash Cloud and Anarteq: Tropic Mercenary. It skipped Path of the Ming-Cho entirely.

Sodality was long and ambitious, so a great many characters never got their renders. Meerkat, for example, never got a proper AI render. Swappernetters ran into similar issues, though a lot of major characters still found a way in.

The following characters also got voice work from the Narrator's Voice app:

• Maurice the Ferryman
• Cherinob
• Krampus
• Luftmaedchen
• Black Rat
• Stung Hornet
• Plum Bixie
• Darshan Chawla
• Mahima Zecharia
• Jerry Emberton
• Jen Emberton
• Spike Monide
• Candi Flippo

Some characters, it struggled to make them unique, and not resemble others. Li'Ban, for example, in spite being Irish, wound up looking very similar to Cherinob, whose HMC is supposed to look Australian. Jerry Emberton and Belay also began to look very similar, in spite one being a Christian post-grunge rock band singer and the other being a literal demon once worshiped as a Canaanite god.

Krampus involved cheating the prompts to give him his proper Dozerfleet form, prompts along the lines of "scary vampire Santa with goat horns." Simply entering Krampus by name into the prompts led to the AI getting confused, and defaulting to depicting him with more traditional takes on his appearance, as it couldn't separate the original Austrian folklore from the idea of Adolphus Kraus.

Similarly, it cropped off Luftmaedchen's masked photo's top, refusing to show her head with her mask on, as it couldn't comprehend the plague mask that she typically wears.

The AI did do a few characters surprisingly well. Cropping the top of her head off notwithstanding, Wonder got the look of Plum Bixie right on the very first try. Her Inner Fox outfit was more of a struggle though.

How Blood Over Water Classic missed its deadline for IMDB

Clips for the miniseries can now be viewed here. The photocomic can be downloaded here.

The question becomes: if Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff can qualify for an IMDB page, then why not Blood Over Water? Well, it's technical; but it mostly comes down to nit picks regarding IMDB's specific rules.

1. Most new IMDB entries prefer that the film still exist, in its original format, verifiably, with verifiable information ready for its time of original release.
2. If the film (or miniseries) has been banned from public view for any particular reason, then IMDB wants evidence that it was available once upon a time.
3. Moreover, an additional clause in IMDB's rules states that the deceased work had to have been originally intended for release to the box office, a major commercial TV station or cable network, a major streaming platform (like YouTube or Vimeo), or some other venue that is widely publicly available.
4. If that isn't the case, then the work must still exist on a public venue in a form recognizable to its original medium / format at the time the entry to IMDB is made.
5. If the entry is to be made posthumously, then the work must have been originally intended for public broadcast, verifiably.

The specificity of these clauses in site rules, unfortunately, disqualify Blood Over Water from receiving an entry. And for two big reasons:

1. The work was removed from YouTube before an IMDB entry could be made, partially due to Chris' irrationality and TDS on Facebook, and partially due to a copyright dispute over the soundtrack. Therefore, it was defunct as a video online before an entry to IMDB could be submitted.
2. YouTube was not its original intended destination.

Nor was it ever intended in its original form for a box office release, nor to Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, nor any of their affiliates. Rather, the miniseries' original target audience was Bulldog Television, the educational access cable channel connected to FerrisState.tv that is specific to Ferris students on campus.

IMDB rules state that PEG channel programming "doesn't count" for its platform. So without a version of the videos still on YouTube, IMDB's official stance is that it "doesn't exist, never happened."

Here at Dozerfleet, we know better. But just because it no longer qualifies for an IMDB page, doesn't mean that information on the old miniseries is lost forever. Because of the photocomic, it now qualifies for a listing on ICDB! And even if somehow failing that, it still has entries on All the Tropes, and of course, the Dozerfleet Database on Miraheze.

Classic Blood Over Water now available as a photocomic

While the original miniseries in video format may no longer be redistributable outside of Ivan's Vault; this new photocomic compilation of salvaged and polished-up screenshots from the original Kyle Mayer Cut is the next best thing!

If you're nostalgic for the original story, as opposed to the machinomic remake set in the Cataclysmic Gerosha (Earth-G7) timeline, then you can re-live your favorite moments by downloading this compilation.

To know even more about this original, plus the machinomic, and behind the scenes of both, don't forget to also read Blood Over Water: Dirty Laundry! Now available from Dozerfleet Literature.

Even more information is available about the project at the Dozerfleet Database.

Progress update for September

As one can expect to be the case, the increasingly toxicity of woketarded Fandom has caused numerous delays at Dozerfleet. The webcomic release of Volkonir 2008 has been moved to 2022. Wiki rebuilding on Miraheze has caught up on the Comics / Literature division side only insofar as to beginning to revise / edit articles pertaining to Gerosha Prime. Restoring the entire Megaverse to the wiki will take time yet.

However, some projects are being moved ahead of schedule. Purge-Flare: Stickin' It to Pencil will get its ad released before the end of September. This will get the Studios division caught up, and clean the production slate for Blood Over Water.

Getting the old articles back online and revising their contents will have to be done in stages, to make time for Blood Over Water production. This, along with other real-life delays in matters, has moved Ciem: Inferno and other projects that follow Blood Over Water into 2022 at the earliest. However, having a new wiki host means better protection for wiki contents - which may lead to better Plottr organization and vice-versa.

Currently, the slate appears to be that once Blood Over Water is complete, the next thing to get made will be Volkonir 2008. This will then leave behind only Sorbet, Kahoopiliana, Sniperbadger, and Path of the Ming-Cho to be made in 2022, and the Comics division will be caught up.

After this, it will be the Literature division's turn. Ciem: Inferno and Anarteq: Guardian of the Soo will be up next for development in 2022. After they're written, it'll be time to pursue a publisher for them. In the mean time, the rest of the Legacy and Orient volumes will be piecemealed together until finished. It's believed that this will run into 2024 before being completed.

With the Orient and Legacy volumes finished, the Origins and Legends volumes can start being written. Volkonir: Season 1 may follow suit in 2025. In 2026, the two pre-Sodality volumes will continue to be developed, and possibly sent to publishers, while time is made on the side for Volkonir: Season 2 and Camelorum Adventures. The goal is to have the slate cleared by 2030 for Sodality and Swappernetters, and possibly Percolation Warriors. With those in the can, smaller Dromedeverse and Eccentriaverse properties, like Grillitan Diner and The Bison, can be completed. Ideally, everything should be completed in the Literature division by 2046, and in the hands of publishers.

The Labs division intends to publish a few more Sims 4 story packs, before abandoning DzMD Sims 4. These include:

1. A Ciem-themed series of packs for Inferno, Ash Cloud, and Caldera
2. An Anarteq-themed pack
3. Some additional Sodality-themed packs
4. A Gray Champion pack
5. An Extirpon-themed pack
6. A Cherinob-themed pack
7. A Feud of Three Worlds Pack
8. A Battle for Gerosha pack
9. An Experiments and Offspring pack
10. A Camelorum Adventures official story pack
11. An official Volkonir story pack.

In addition to the comics being made in 2022, that will take up a lot of 2022 free time for development, these remaining 16 packs will be emphasized for completion. At any rate, the goal is to complete these packs before The Sims 5 comes out. It is unknown which games DzMD will support in the future. The unfinished Sims 3 pack content for DzMD release has a very uncertain future, as demand is questionable, given the game's age.

3-13 is now online!

The long-awaited sequel to Kings in the Corner is finally available for you to watch, along with a blooper reel from an earlier attempt at it made in 2009. Feel free to check it out!
