The FusionFall Blog 2017 Yearbook!

2017. What a crazy year. Filled with its own ups and downs. Time to look back at the year and see all the cool and not so cool stuff!
January

POTD Season 2 began! With it we got a new host who presented all of the images to us. The FusionFall Wiki got a major redesign. The FusionFall Blog reached 6,500 views and, most importantly, FusionFall reached its 8th b-day!

February

The FusionFall Legacy Community Design Challenge began! Users were tasked with creating costume, clothing or item ideas and submit them. The best ones were picked by the developers and are going to be added to Legacy.

We also got a new Legacy devblog! It was a remake of the old Townsville Zoo Devblog before The Split happened, but it contained most of the same info. Nevertheless it was really cool seeing a new area talked about in-depth in the devblog.

March
Not much other than POTDs happened here, but we did release the now defunct PvZ Heroes Central. Other than that Legacy and RETRO didnt have much news aside from POTDs.

April

We began the month with a new devblog! Hosted by Double D, he talked about the Ed trio and the various changes and additions they got.
RETRO also got a devblog talking about its on-development features and how it will launch. I also got one of the best things to motivate me in continuing the blog: A private message by dex7322.


May
A new FFR Devblog was released talking about the client and how we will use it, and the now defunct UB Funkeys Central blog was also released. POTD also stopped for development reasons.

June
POTDs returned! Aside from that there wasnt much in the development side, but the blog did began Summer Fest 2017 and we reached 10,000 views during the month!


July
WE GOT A RETRO RELEASE DATE! The release date was August 1st. We began covering The Chromatic Conquest, an event hosted by EmperorEctoshock from the FFU Forums, where there are 6 teams and you can conquer areas of the game. The event is currently on hold until RETRO is released.


August
RETRO didnt release FULLY on August 1st, however a short demo of the Tutorial, titled Early Access, was released. POTD ended its 2nd Season this month as well. The reason for the RETRO delay was because of Database problems, which meant that Characters wouldnt save.


September
We got a new set of POTDs! Called Season 3, the host was hidden for some time, but after a while it was revealed that Chris Mclean from TD was the host! Until the FFL team got a Cease and Desist that said they couldnt use Chris or the TD IP for Legacy. As a result of this the POTDs were removed and as of now theres no Season 3 POTDs. The pics can still be found in Videos however, like The Magical Dealer´s video on the pics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rrs5u7ltZA

October
Spooky time! Trick-Or-Treater took over the blog alongside The Great Pumpking for the month! Viewers had to find candy around the blog. On the FFR side we got an October update talking more about the Database and how features are implemented.

November

A Knight took over the blog for a bit to find some help to return to his kingdom, afterwards it was Renovation time! The blog renovated itself to include alot of new stuff! We also began getting Weekly updates from the RETRO devs, and got to find Turkeys with V.V Argost and Turkey Rider! Overall a fun month after the stuff from the past 3 months.

December
Hohoho! We got the 12 Days of Knishmas event, where we got a new surprise or gift everyday till the 27th, which was hosted by Regifting Zombie. Afterwards we made a big New Years Party! However, Net Neutrality got repealed by the FCC, but its currently going thru Court. Aside from that we got more RETRO weekly devblogs!


Finally, here are some quotes from all of us!

2017 post count: 281 posts divided into 12 months (From January to Today)

Thank you all so much for making 2017 an amazing year! While there were some mishaps here and there, it was still an amazing year for FusionFall and for all of us here at The FusionFall Blog.
Lets make 2018 a great year, and remember to always battle Fuse!
