Wait, I didn't update? Important!

Sorry! Things are getting hectic over here, so I forgot about the blog xD

Well, news is: Episode 3 is out for a while now and episode 4 is on its way. Episode 4 deadline is set in december so I hope to finish the episode then as well.

Link episode 3:

Devil may cry is going well. We're at mission 19. I still have to mix the final part and then we're nearly done.

Other news:

Working hard on my school project. We are in charge of the audio, so I'll post some videos here when it's finished. ^-^

Next to that the future of the upcoming The Stranger episodes are unknown as I will leave to Canada for an internship.
It''s gonna be long days so I don't know if I will have the energy or time to do something on my hobbies, but I will do my best. I'll be gone from february till august so that is a long time.
So there is a possibility I won't release anything in a while.

Things I won;t be working on in that time are:
* Voice acting - Not for the projects I;m in or auditioning. However, I might have the chance to voice act in the studio, but I think that will solely be for work.
* Singing - Same as voice acting

Things I might be working on
* Composing - I still hope to compose for audioplays as well as making practice songs. Though this depends on the time that's left.
* Mixing - Might have time for some mixing on the Stranger. I hope so as I don't want to delay it with 6 months.

Things I will be working on
* Script writing. - I'll change the scripts I have so far for the Stranger as well as write new ones. \
* Writing on the blog - I'll have a separate blog about my adventures in Canada. Keep an eye out if you're interested. (still to be created though)

So that's it!

Later release of episode 3 >(

I'm furious! Thanks to that piece of shit of a sony vegas I have to redo half of the episode!! I worked HOURS on that to make it perfect, but thanks to a wrong unknown rendering mistake it's basically all gone. Can't re-render it either as it crashes the moment I click on the project so I was 'lucky' to have rendered some of it.
Thanks a lot sony vegas.. thank you for delaying this episode again.

Unlucky with sony vegas

Sony vegas hates me! I managed to work through its crashes but now the crashes makes working on episode 3 impossible =( It crashes after 10 seconds and even crashes during rendering. Even if he survives the rendering or anything then it messes up all audio and sound effects and mutes certain pieces randomly afterwards which makes it impossible to continue with.

I managed to render the 9 minutes I have now in two parts (THANK GOD!), but this does mean I can't edit the volumes of the voices or sound effects anymore =( if something is unbalanced in the end, then sorry about that

Regarding episode 3

It's sadly on hold for now. The voice actress for Raina has to deal with her personal life and thus she is taking a small break from voice acting. So we'll wait for her until she is ready to send in lines. It's very unfortunate and I'm very sorry to the people who have been waiting on episode 3 , especially the cast from episode 3.

In the meantime some people have sent in their lines already for episode 4. Once Raina is back, I hope we can pick up the pace ^-^

So, yeah.. other update. Don't have to wait for my music  packs anymore. Got them and installed them succesfully, so when I have all the lines I'll work on the music ASAP.

Thanks for your patience guys,

Stupid East west packs!

I'm fuming. I thought I would get these packs  2 weeks ago. Now I received an email from the company I ordered it from saying it arrives in 2 weeks... *fall*
I'm not happy, not happy at all. Who says those packs will arrive in 2 weeks. I bet it will be delayed again.
This means episode 3 will be delayed with at least 3 WEEKS! I'm so sorry guys, I don't like it either.

My plans of working on my portfolio in my vacation or helping someone out with composing have to be shoved aside as well. When the packs arrive my vacation is practically over ^^;;

*rant over*

Waiting for stuff to arrive

Waiting for a new mouse.. I ordered one but it took longer than expected. My previous one died in 1 month already... It should be here tomorrow I hope, but I just can't mix without a mouse x.x So I haven't mixed anything yet. Only the previously on which I made before. Makes me feel bad as some voice actors rushed to get their lines in.
Also I am waiting for an elicencer so I can finally use my new cubase for the music and i'm waiting on my new east west packs for the instruments. And you can guess, those are delayed =.= With one or two weeks.
Next to that I'm waiting for lines from Raina as her voice actress needed more time due to some things. Don't know when those will be in.
So the episode will probably be delayed with 1 -2 weeks!
When I have everything in I'll try to get it done as fast as I can =)

Small update

Things go slow at the moment. Can't bring myself to do anything especially now it's vacation. Especially writing scripts and drawing. (so tired all the time =( )
Episode 3 is on it's way though with the deadline for the voice actors in a few days.
Devil May Cry 3 fandub has a nice progress too: Mission 14 and 15 are both short as well as 17 and 18 so we can speed through these missions to the end ^-^

Hope you all enjoy your vacation!

Deadline in 3 weeks

Aye, I thought I would have more time. I thought I could work on projects till halfway July.
But I heard yesterday it has to be rated before june 28th. BEFORE...  which means the project has to be finished even before that x.x
Now, what's my project? Full body character designs for The stranger (The main characters, the extra's will be drawn in simpler styles) plus a visual episode 1. I still have to start as I'm choosing a different animation method now. (no animation at all, just drawings)

Two and half weeks left... Bummer, but it does mean I'll be updating more frequently with character designs.

Episode 2 is on it's way. Received Raina's lines and the other two voice actors will send them in soon.
Shouldn't have procrastinated with drawing ^^;;

Episode 1 - progress

I have almost all lines! There is one missing so far from Deon, but that's okay as it doesn't stop me from mixing =D

All lines (except that missing one) are in the project and now I am adding the sound effects. The pace is quite slow now of the episode so will speed things up as well.

Don't know when I'll have the mixing finished. At least this week I hope, but before I can show the project to my test team I need to have approval of my tutor x.x because if I don't get any approval the test team doesn't have to answer a lot of tedious questions.XD Then they can just listen and write things down that has to be changed.

Episode 1 - getting slightly delayed

Episode 1 is on it's way. I'm mixing in the lines now as much as I can and every now and then a little sound effect. It's still guessing work as I still need the lines of Ryan. Those are delayed as the voice actor can't send them in right now.
But don't worry! I'm working on it. Hopefully when Ryan's lines are in I'm mostly done with the episode, so it can be send off quickly to the test team ^-^

Episode 1 - lines update

Still need Ryan's lines. But hopefully I have them before tuesday. Then it's on! I can mix everything then ^^
Everyone has done a great job at the lines so I can't wait to see the mixed result.

Publishing episode 1 will probably take longer than the upcoming episodes due to testing episode 1.
Need points for school for quality monitoring, but now I'm not even sure this test method is allowed.x(
So it's kind of unsure when it will be published. But the test team and probably the voice actors will hear it earlier.
