154. The Old and the New.
Date: 20th of January, 2010
Updated By: Solo
  I'll start this update with some older content, dug up from the dreaded vaults of my "To Sort" folder. Back in the days of Die Welt von Panzer Dragoon, Lord Craymen created some screensavers based on credits of Panzer Dragoon II Zwei. All three screensavers are now available in a zip archive. I've also added some pre-release music that was originally hosted on Die Welt von Panzer Dragoon. These tracks were recorded from the E3 2002 demo of Panzer Dragoon Orta and contain some significant differences from the final version. I've also added an older OverClocked ReMix to the Music section, the Panzer Groove by McVaffe.
While we're on the subject of older content, I've added four pieces of fan art from Razia to the site. Two pictures of everyone's favourite mechanic, Paet, as well as some pictures of Azel and Edge. I've also added a couple of older pictures drawn by Atolm, as well as an excellent new picture that she has made of the Solo Wing. I liked this picture so much that I used it for my avatar.
Last but not least, I'm pleased to welcome a new member of The Will of the Ancients team. I've made D-Unit, the webmaster of Panzer Dragoon Legacy, an administrator of this site. It's likely that you'll see some updates from him in the future.

153. Lagi's Takeoff.
Date: 12th of January, 2010
Updated By: Solo
Tyrone Kamran has submitted three new sketches of Edge and his dragon. They can be found here, here, and here. It's always nice to see new Panzer art.
I'm also pleased to add a new remix of the Panzer Dragoon Zwei track "The Great Ravine" to this site. It's called Lagi's Takeoff, created only last month by Mattinc. I highly recommend listing to this track if you've played Zwei; it will bring back some memories. More information about the remix can be found on the related OverClocked ReMix page.

Date: 2nd of January, 2010
Updated By: Solo
Happy New Year. I've added four new drawings from He Who Is The Sky to the Fan Art section. Be sure to have a look if you haven't seen them already; he is a great artist.
Pictures: Imperial Conflict, Victory Wing, Guardian Dragoon, and Prophecy Wing.
There's also a Christmas themed picture of Azel, submitted by starsofnite. Thanks everyone who has contributed to this site recently.

151. Videos, artwork, and emulation news.
Date: 23rd of December, 2009
Updated By: Solo
I've added three videos to the site that many of you will be familar with. These fake trailers were created by Lord Craymen and Senor Kaffee to trick fans into believing that a new Panzer Dragoon game was on the horizon. If you haven't seen the trailers, be sure to check them out in the Videos section.
Tyrone Kamran has submitted a new piece of fan art depicting Edge's fight with the baldors at the start of Panzer Dragoon Saga. The image was created using rotoscoping, and the artist hopes to create a full animation of the fight in the future. Speaking of artwork, you may be aware that The Art of Panzer Dragoon, undoubtably the best Panzer art site on the web, is currently offline. If you're looking for the art from that site there's a copy on the Internet Archive although be aware that some of art won't load. I can't confirm when The Art of Panzer Dragoon will be back online.
If you missed the update on Panzer Dragoon Legacy, there has been some progress in the development of Xbox emulation on the PC. The Cxbx emulator now runs Panzer Dragoon Orta, although admitably it's far from playable at this stage. You can read more about it on the developer's blog, and see it in action in this YouTube video. It's great to know that someone is working on this.
The Will of the Ancients now has a microblog that be found on the Facebook, Twitter, and Identi.ca social networks, so you can be informed of news updates and more straight from these services. I've wanted to add an RSS or Atom feed to this site for a while but given the limitations of how the site was originally coded it's not practical to implement one. I recommend subscribing to a feed on Facebook, Twitter, or Identi.ca if you want updates sent to your feed reader.
If you're looking for a good film to see, James Cameron's Avatar is a fantastic achievement in cinema and features many similarites to Panzer Dragoon (especially Orta), so be sure to check it out. And that's it for this update. I hope everyone has an enjoyable Christmas and ends the decade on a high note.
