This is the interview with Kat the Leopardess about her Krystal cosplay costume. We covered how she made it, what it was like being Krystal for a day (and much longer), and what she thinks of the possibility of Krystal in Brawl.
BIG CORRECTION!!! Every time I mention the character Phenic Fox, I mean Fara Phoenix. Huge error on my part! Sorry guys!
http://krystalarchive.com
Episode 9 (Part A)
Intro by Kat the Leopardess
Late podcast and site outage explained
Starting where I left off:
- I graduated from college
- Over 100 new fanarts coming
- Little_Dragon and Foxhunt/Charleyfox animations continue
- Kat the Leopardess revealed her Krystal cosplay outfit
- Krystal Archive went offline
- Brawl site site came online (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us), not revealing anything new
Krystal Archive redesign is high on my list after Starfox-Online redesign.
Lots of questions, most from Ryan Sharp.
Correction at 17:20 - Nintendo DS, not Gameboy Advance, has free online play.

Star Fox 64 coming to the Virtual Console very soon.

- Check blog for a peek.
- Won't be updating the list until the new design is out.

Episode 6
Podcast now with background music (inspired by the GoNintendo podcast).
I've received 13 suggestions so far for the April Fools 2007 update.
Massive music, voice acting, and video update made.
Finally put up the text from my questions to Adventures developers.
Person named Agni emailed to explain that Krystal doesn't actually say certain things that the subtitles indicate she should. Updated.
Bounty placed on Assault voice acting and Command sprites.
Nearly 50 new fanarts posted on the Krystal Blog today.
Game Developer's Conference 2007. March 5-9. Shigeru Miyamoto will be the keynote speaker. Brawl announcement possible.
BestBuy.com lists Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, and Super Mario Galaxy to be released March 15th. Obviously wrong, but just letting you know what rumors are out there.
Nintendo is looking at releasing Japan only games to the Wii Virtual Console (http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/02/japanonly_games.html). Possible Star Fox 2 and Dinosaur Planet.
Star Fox Command was released in Europe and they love it. When Nintendo of Europe spoke to Takaya Imamura, Producer of Star Fox Command (http://www.cubed3.com/news/6689/1/Starfox_Wii_Under_Consideration), he said the following:
"I wonder how the adventure of Fox and friends is going to go next time?! I have come up with some idea in my mind but it is still just a small one. I will try my best so that I can deliver it to you some time!"
This is pretty much a confirmation that Nintendo is working on a Star Fox Wii title. Hooray!
Perfect Layout complete, working on related projects.
Some people were complaining that their computers can't handle the huge fanart list, so I'll be splitting it into multiple pages in the future.
We've lost most of the art from Aldran. Moved to FanBakedGoods.
Couple other artists have moved or changed their listings, so I'll take care of that next update too.

Old News
-------------------------------
After arriving home for my Christmas break, I spent several hours and finished up the remaining work on a new fanart post (836 new fanarts!). After that, I resolved to make the system better, which became my vacation project (I always have one or two).
Began work on separating 3d from traditional art.
For Christmas day, I applied some of my thesis research to a model of Krystal, with interesting, but complicated effect.
Star Fox Marathon over the New Years holiday (Team Star Wolf won. :/ ) Raised $140
Finished the fanart styling project and began to do the list transition.

- Notes more discrete.
- Less intrusive descriptions of the site origin.
- Color and style to indicate information, rather than just words, I'm getting better at design.
KA celebrated it's 4th year online.
I tested my new fanart system on the art that had appeared since last update, worked beautifully.
Finally finished separating 3D and traditional art, finished adding favorites, finished all behind-the-scenes scripts that makes all this possible.

Episode 30
Recorded: December 15th, 2012
Last podcast was recorded almost one year ago!
Site Hacking and Restoration
Site hacked in March, restored briefly after that
Failure at host caused all files to be deleted from the server
Decided now was a good time to rebuild from scratch with a focus on making the site easier to manage
I created a post for people to request files while I worked on getting everything back online
I souped up security big time
Kat the Leopardess began helping me groom old posts so we can eventually re-add them
In the last two weeks, I've figured out how to completely restore the KA in such a way that we can never lose data like we did before
Restoring Sections
First, I restored the Saurian Translator and Star Fox Command: All the Words
Shortly afterward, I added a project page for Bit Fox Adventures, a chiptune Star Fox Adventures album, the brainchild of Laffe the Fox
Created a volunteering system, which was intended to help all of you report things to me like fanart, fanfiction, cosplay, and the like, without having to wait for an email
I still need to make proper use of that system, but I'll get to it!
Readded the fanfiction section. I plan on removing incomplete fics so that we can be sure there's no inappropriate content accidentally linked to in later chapters
Added all Podcasts as audio YouTube
Readded the image section, removing preshopped images, made title images for the base page
Readded Audio section
Readded Video section
Probably will readd the 3D Projects pages next, followed by Cosplay
Fanart will likely be the last, since it's the most complicated

The person who posted the hour long Dinosaur Planet footage also had a massive amount of previously unseen details on the game's backstory and characters
Couple of fun Star Fox related posts like Star Fox Legos concept art and a Unreal Development Kit demo of the Great Fox

Krystal Archive Podcast Episode 42
Recorded January 8th and 9th, 2020
Year in Review 2019
===================
See all site posts from 2019.
krystalarchive.com/2019
Promises From Last Year
=======================
How did we do on planned projects:
* Launch StarFox.org
* Real progress on the Krystal Staff prop
* Edit and release 2017 Ayano footage
* Release the Project Kursed Soundtrack and other assets
* Edit and Release the remaining Assault cutscenes
* Automate daily Krystal fanart posting
* Restore lost posts
* Manage the 1000 emails in my inbox
* Prep and launch Miiverse Krystal Art
* Move all cosplay photos from Flickr to my own server
* Update the site design with cute Krystals
So there's that. Not so great, BUT! Some progress was made and some plans are in motion to do some of these more effectively.
Unpublished Progress
====================
In 2019, I managed to read write some new tools and went through all of DeviantArt to find ALL Krystal fanart I could find that was clean. In the end, I downloaded 16.86GB of art and files representing some 17,500 posts, having looked at something like 200 thousand posts. All this to re-create the fanart section. I will have to do this for FurAffinity as well, but that's a much smaller scale. Once that's done, I can start organizing, deduplicating, removing inappropriate posts (or posts that aren't actually Krystal), and preparing the data to be retrievable in the fanart section. I won't be uploading the art, that's illegal. But I will have a hopefully searchable fanart listing that will have more Krystal fanart than you can possibly imagine!
As I mentioned, I'm working on the Staff, albeit slowly. There's a local plastic supply place in town that I've been to before. In the coming days, I'll be visiting them to ask them about certain materials I need. It has to do with lighting the staff.
Over the Christmas break, I began work on the new Krystal Archive design. It will be a statically generated site, which will be much faster and give me more control. Additionally, it will make it easier to make new pages, restore the old pages, and update the website to use much more modern techniques. The existing site was the best I could do for its time, but it hasn't had a major update since around 2012.
Projects for 2020
=================
* Obviously, I want to do everything I listed above.
* I really want to get the pages actually finished. The site has existed kinda as a half-finished mess for a long time due to the hacking event in 2012. It's hard to focus on static pages when most of the posts are news.
* On that note, I want to find ways to get more time to update the site itself, not just the news section, as well as these other long-term projects. To do that, I'm considering doing lots of posts at first for weeks at a time, then take a break from news to work on bigger projects, giving updates as I go. That way you get both.
* I have a lot of stuff I want to do for StarFox.org. I have a ton of content just waiting to be sorted and uploaded. So I want to do that stuff too.
* If I can manage to make a Krystal Staff this year, at least 3 people have expressed interest in buying one. Make no mistake, they would be very expensive. I'm going for serious realism here and that means no shortcuts. But, if I do it, I am looking at producing the staff as a luxury video game prop. Just be aware, the price will probably be well over $500.
* I really want to work on the site redesign. I'm excited about it, which means it'll probably happen first.
* Lastly, a cool collaborative podcast idea: having formal online debates over audio chat about Star Fox and Krystal topics. I have a few ideas for what they would be.

===================
See all site posts from January 9th, 2018 to January 8th, 2019.

Keeping Promises From Last Year
===============================
Ayano Harumaki was recovering intended to return to cosplay in 2018. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to. However, she will be trying to return in 2019, so that is promising.
It took half a year, but we did start up the Daily Krystal Fanart postings on Twitter and Gab. These have continued to this day.
StarFox.org was announced publicly on the Krystal Archive, but no content has been put there yet. However, I now have much better access to my archived Star Fox data, and have been doing some research on the site technology in recent weeks. I hope to have something there worth visiting within a month or two.
The Regressor's low-poly Krystal model and WarfareMachine's SFW model were both publicly released to much fanfare.
The third 3D animated model project fell through, unfortunately. Perhaps I will try again if I find a new 3D animator who can do good work like that.
There was effort to get a 3D printable Krystal model too, but that deal fell through.
I did some initial work on a Krystal staff 3D print, but then Krystal in Smash was announced and her new, higher resolution staff model became the desired base. So I resolved to wait until I could access that. The Smash Bros Ultimate model has now become available, so I can start looking into test prints of that soon.
None of the other video projects I mentioned have been started.
The 25th anniversary of Star Fox was celebrated, as I mentioned earlier.
So, about half of the projects came to fruition. Pretty good, I'd say.
Projects for 2019
=================
Launch StarFox.org, and post the materials I already have available.
Begin real progress on the 3D Printed Krystal Staff.
Edit and release my footage Ayano's cosplay from Furry Fiesta 2017.
Release Project Kursed Soundtrack and Trailer from Archives.
Edit and Release all remaining Star Fox Assault Cutscenes.
Find ways to automate the moderation and selection of Daily Krystal Fanart.
Restore the lost posts and pages from the pre-hack days of 2012.
Manage the 1000 Krystal Archive emails in my inbox.
Prep and launch the Miiverse Krystal Art Posts.
Move all Cosplay photos from Flickr to my own server.
Update the site design with cute kawaii Krystals for each major section by Kurdel.
