2008
PuffballsUnited started We're Starfox in February 2008,but it was set aside for Breaking the Bank.

In August 27 2008, PuffballsUnited created another called Breaking the Bank, the game also was released on Stickpage. After finish Breaking the Bank, he looked back at Starfox and realized how bad the characters looked.

In November 15, 2008, PuffballsUnited created his first News Post which was titled Unmotivation (Dismotivation?)

"I'm sure every animator runs into this problem. You open up flash, stare at your scene and then end up doing something else. This hits me quite often and I think it really slows down my release time. So I ask all you animators out there: How do you cope with this?

Do you give in and just do something else?

Do you buckle down and get things done?"

Do you search for motivation?

I'm interested to hear if this actually doeshappen to a lot of people. If it does, what do you do about it?

2009
In January 26, 2009, PuffballsUnited uploaded his first video on YouTube called The Bridge. The stickman just wanted to cross a bridge.

"My good buddy Abnorvell just made a little animation. It's nothing big. I did 2/3 of the voices. :3 Pretzel Seed's Life Lessons"

In June 15, 2009, PuffballsUnited uploaded his second animation on Newgrounds called We're Starfox!. At the same day, he did another News Post titled "We're Starfox!" is released!

"I've been working on "We're Starfox!" for nearly six months now, however; there were a few breaks taken. I technically started this in February of 2008, but it was set aside for another project. When I finished that project I looked back at Starfox and realized how bad the characters looked. So I pretty much redid the small part that I had started. I hope everyone enjoys it, especially fans of Starfox 64!

Also, for those of you who were wondering, I am now going to start working on the sequel to Breaking the Bank. Who knows how long it'll take though.

One last thing. I've submitted some songs (And a Voice Reel) here in the Audio Portal, but they haven't gotten very many reviews. I'm looking to improve, so if you could at least give them a listen and tell me what you think I could do to improve, or even what you thought of it, I'd really appreciate it."

In June 18, 2009, He uploaded his first Art called Alex the Law-lien and he was scouted by HomicidalToaster.

2010
In April 11, 2010, PuffballsUnited released the sequel of Breaking the Bank called Escaping the Prison

In April 12, 2010, PuffballsUnited write another News Post titled Sequel to Breaking the Bank is out! Escaping the Prison!

"If you watched Breaking the Bank back in April last year (When it was on the front page) then you'll be happy to know that the sequel has just been released!

Watch Escaping the Prison!" In April 25, 2010 he write another News Post titled What's Next?

"Note: If all you care about is if I'm going to make a sequel or not, skip to the end.

First off I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone who made Escaping the Prison such a huge hit! It really did do much better than I expected! Now, I know you may be wondering if I'm going to make a third one or not. Well by the end of this news post you'll find out.

The next project I'm currently working on is a collab I'm making with two of my pals, Abnorvell, and ThumbsUpGuy. Go check out their stuff and review their submission(s). Inspire them!

I'm also working on a movie about aliens. It's in the process, but I'm not going to work on it until this Collab is done.

Here's where I need to make a decision. I can either make the sequel to Escaping the Prison first, or I can make a pilot episode to a series I plan on creating. What I will do is see what people think of my two non-stick non-game submissions and if people are craving a sequel I'll do that one first.

So yeah, that's pretty much my plan for the next...Year? Sorry, I'm a slow worker. :P

Long story short: I am making a sequel (Unless people suddenly don't want one).

PS: I know about the Opacitator, ok? Stop TELLING ME OK?!?!?"

In May 3, 2010, he writed another News Post titled Hidden Things 1

"I love to put a bunch of hidden things into all of my movies. Some of the things I know most people wont even see, and I still put effort into it. Every once in a while, I think I'm gonna post one of these little hidden things. I also urge you to see if you can find more of them in my other movies!

Here's the first one I'll be showing you from "We're Starfox!"."

In May 14,2010, PuffballsUnited writed another News Post titled Secret Things 2

"As I mentioned in my previous news post, I love to put hidden things in all of my movies. Here's one of the many from Escaping the Prison. See if you can find more, I really mean it! Some of them are sorta obvious, while others are quite hidden.

Find them!

Also, I just got my sweet merch! Think I'm gonna go with a smaller shirt next time though :P"

In November 3, 2010, PuffballsUnited uploaded his third movie on Newgrounds called Failiens - Hunger. The same day, he writed another News Post titled Failiens!

Watch it! Review it! Love it! Fave it! 5 it!

....Yeah.

I've begun working on the sequel to Escaping the Prison. I'll keep you guys posted!

Update - Man this always happens. Had I submitted this one day later I would've gotten daily first. Oh well. At least I got front page, so people will see it! :)"

2011
In January 11, 2011, PuffballsUnited writed another News Post and revealed the Sequel of Escaping the Prison but he didn't revealed the Game's Name yet. The News Post was titled Escaping the Prison Sequel Update.

"Escaping the Prison has reached 1 million views on Newgrounds!! (Not to mention all the views it's got on all the other game websites combined)

To commemorate the occasion I'll give a status update on the sequel!

I'm almost done with one of the endings. This game is going to be a lot bigger than the last one. To give you a perspective I'm about a third done with the game and it's already half the size of Escaping the Prison. I've been trying to work on it a bit every day which is helping me make progress!

I'm gonna say one more thing. The game is not going to be about escaping from jail again. ;)

Thanks so much everyone who enjoyed Escaping the Prison (and Breaking the Bank). It;s your support that keeps me motivated and excited to submit more projects! :D

vv Also, here's a picture from the game vv"

In January 29, 2011, PuffballsUnited joined on Twitter.

In April 28, 2011, He writed another News Post and revealed the Game's Name called Stealing the Diamond and the News Post was called Stealing the Diamond Update.

"(In case you didn't know Stealing the Diamond is the sequel to Escaping the Prison)

Just thought I'd throw out an update since it's been a while. Progress is going strong. If I work hard I should be able to finish the second of three endings this weekend.

For those of you wondering when it'll be complete, I... Don't know. I'll tell you that my goal is to finish it by the end of the school year (Early June) but don't hold me to it. School and video games tend to get in the way (And I've been itching to get Portal 2).

Also, if you want more frequent updates you can follow me on Twitter(That's right I'm gonna keep mentioning this)

Oh also, here's a little fun thing I just did. This should keep you occupied until the actual game comes out."

In July 8, 2011, Stealing the Diamond is released. The same day PuffballsUnited writed another News Post titled Stealing the Diamond! (Escaping the Prison sequel)

It's finally out! Stealing the Diamond is in the portal! If you don't know it's the sequel to Escaping the Prison. Go play it! Let me know what you think, what your favorite fail was, what your favorite ending was etc!

Some fun facts:

I spent 200.5 hours working on this game (That about 8 days).

I started working on it on October 11th.

Ok these aren't actually that FUN of facts. But still,

The Blog isn't complete yet. I will add more later...
