Hello everybody! If you have been checking out my [Steemit blog](https://steemit.com/@shadowolfdg) lately, you would notice that it has been a graveyard of late. My sincerest apologies, but I had good reason. A lot has happened these last two weeks, which I need to update you on.

<h2> TECHNOLOGICAL & SOFTWARE UPGRADE </h2>

I finally obtained some funding to upgrade the computer technology in my life. This has now enabled me to get high-end PC and Laptop for me to push Celenic Game Studios to the next level. I have obtained Unreal Engine 4 with all the pre-requisite software to enable us to not only create new games, but to develop MMORPG games as well.

We can now finally download the PlayStation, Xbox, Steam and Unity development packs we registered for a few months ago against Celenic Game Studios, meaning we can also move ahead with publishing games made by other developers.

This also means upgrading the other aspects of Celenic Earth Publications, such as book publishing, film script development and music / audio production. 2018 will see a swift evolution of my company. Make sure to follow the [Celenic Earth Publications Steemit blog](https://steemit.com/@celenicpublishers) for specific news on this evolution.

<h2> ANTREYA CHRONICLES MMORPG </h2>

My writing for the upcoming fantasy MMORPG, [Antreya Chronicles](http://www.antreya-chronicles.com/), is steadily progressing. My list of in-game books and lore memo is awaiting approval by the Director and Lead Writer, and once approved it means I can start writing up the notes you will find inside the game. Next, we have the exciting opportunity to create the list of NPCs (non-playable characters) that you will find in the cities, together with possible dialogue options and side-quests that can be initiated by them.

So much work is being put into this game, so much more than just the main plot, and this is just the beginning. Soon, we will have access to the game server and engine to be able to write in the dialogue sequences ourselves! Truly my most exciting project.

<h2> BONSAIS AND BOTANY </h2>

One of my favourite topics to write about on here is about my bonsais and plants growing in the patio of my house. they have been growing wonderfully and I will be writing separate posts with images for them. Many more seeds have been added for bonsai growth, but more on that in @teambonsai another time.

<h2> WRITING PROJECTS </h2>

My writing projects have been on hold while I upgraded my computer systems and reloaded all  my information and programs on the new tech. Now that the dust has settled, production on my novels Silent Hill: Obversion and Malum: Rise of the Deadly sins will continue, as well as updates from the two newsletters.

I will also be continuing with the film adaptation script for Lynette Greenfield's novel, 'The Day it Rained Forever'. I have also been approached to write a dark comedic horror for a film studio, but I cannot share much detail on this right now. I am also working on a film adaptation of my horror novel, Silent Hill: Betrayal.

Now that I have the ability to create games, I am also working on creating a fantasy game adaptation of my epic fantasy trilogy, the Celenic Earth Chronicles, which is like Lord of the Rings, or Skyrim.

<h2> PHOTOGRAPHY </h2>

Thanks to @teapot @photocontests @juliank and @claudiaz my love of photography has grown so much that I created **Shaun M Jooste Photography** profiles on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Shaun-M-Jooste-Photography-447617035673227/) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/shaunmjooste.photography/). 

I need to head back into my Steemit photo competitions, so expect me to posting some more of these in the days to come.

And that's it from me for now, but there will be so many posts coming up these next few days of everything that you have missed. I am glad to be back.
