Lunatics - анимирана, „слободна“ веб серија

Илустрација на Daniel FuВо изминатите неколку месеци, додека се заговараа SOPA, PIPA, а сега и ACTA од страна на големите продуцентски куќи, и посебно кога полека ги однемува сајтовите кои нудеа бесплатен пристап до сета култура на планетава (сајтови од типот на Megaupload и Btjunkie), copyright-от станува симбол за опресија за сите нас што сметаме дека информациите, знаењето, и културате треба слободно да течат помеѓу сите корисници на интернетот. Она нешто што поодамна било измислено со цел да ги штити создавачите, сега е извитоперено во оружје за собирање што поголем профит.

Затоа, од особена важност е што постои еден ваков проект. Lunatics е, како и што стои во насловот, анимирана веб серија која цели значително да придонесе на free culture движењето.

Веб серијата се анимира во Blender, бесплатниот софтвер за 3D анимација. Приказната ќе се врти околу првите колонисти на Месечината, и предизвиците со кои ќе мора да се соочат за да го подготват сателитот да биде попогоден за следните генерации кои ќе се решат да живеат таму.
Според зборовите на креаторите, само луд човек би се решил да биде прв што ќе живее на Месечината. Одтаму, првите колонисти би биле вистински „лудаци“, односно lunatics на англиски. Луна е и второ име на Месечината, па така е избран насловот.
Многу дела досега опишувале или живот на Месечината, или пак само напомеувле дека таму има градови, но многу ретко се зборува за самиот процес на населување. Токму ова се надевам дека ќе успее да го прикаже серијата.
Инаку, да се навратам на слободноста, потребните средства за проектот се собрани преку сервисот Kickstarter, каде што на нивната страна можете да дознаете повеќе детали за ликовите и продукцијата на серијата. Иако ќе биде пуштена беслатно на интернет, ќе може и да се купи во предпродажба, како и преку „Creator Endorsed“ производи. На официјалната страна на проектот на линкот погоре може да видите можете да видите и што ќе содржат пакетите од претпродажба, и како да донирате за проектот.

Krystabald and the Great Old One

"Engage evasive maneuvers alpha!" He shouted at the AI that he had sold to the CyberSlavers on Gibson Alpha some time ago. “Fuck!” He exclaimed again, as he realised that nothing happened, and that he had to maneuver the Kreutz S-9000 all by himself. He checked the screen to see the three red dots that were following him had dashes going out of them and moving towards him. They were shooting at him, and the missiles hit the Kreutz at the same time that that realization hit him. The shields held for now, but three Quaradian raptors were far more than his race cruiser could take. He tried turning on the theoretical drive, but the damn spike-heads had theory-disruptors. He would have to evade them. He took several more hits before finally managing to put the standard drive into override, and started evading the damn missiles. He was still faster, but his shields were now at 55%. A couple of hits more, and he will be fine dust. He couldn’t even remember what he had done t

The missing inspiration

John was a novelist. At least, that’s what he liked telling himself. He had written a book once, almost three years ago. A story set on Mars, with large conspiracies, war, androids, implied aliens. It had it all, and it was surprisingly successful. And people would add him on social media, congratulating, asking questions ranging from specifics about the Mars’s domes and monorails, to whether the main hero is really straight, or he was a bit too friendly with the local shopkeeper. And he liked answering the questions. He liked talking about what he called “his baby”. He liked it almost as much as the girls that would get with him just so they can post an Instagram story with a famous author. But three years is a long time, and people start forgetting. One can repost the same quotes only so many times, and John was already seeing his fan base drift away. He was even losing some followers. And now here he was, struggling with writer’s block. He had started multiple times on his s

Just a simple mail delivery

As he fell, he was waiting to hear the sound of crunching bone, and maybe to feel the last pain in his life. His thoughts jumped to thinking how he should really try to turn around and maybe his arms would break the fall enough to…. Stupid idea. From the height he was falling, his body will turn to mush on impact. So he just closed his eyes and anticipated that crunch, maybe even some sloshing? And time slowed down, he felt almost like floating, and then… And then he opened his eyes, and he was in his bed, bathing in his sweat. He was dreaming something, just he no longer remembered what. The midday July sun was piercing through the window and was slowly cooking him. “Fuck, midday already?” he muttered to himself as he stumbled out of bed, trying to unstick himself from the drenched sheets. “Fuck summer.” The ice cold shower he prepared for himself did just enough to bring some semblance of good mood into him, that quickly evaporated as soon as he reentered his room. He really
