The Tale of Archon Discussion/Updates [Archive 2003]

I have alot to do still. I've only debugged the current triggers.
Part 2 would suck stand-alone... so instead for Christmas I might have a surprise :ggani:

12/7 - Plans for the remaining 4 1/2 hours tonight...

Eat dinner - Should take 20 minutes (DONE)
Do an outline for a school project and burn a CD - 40 minutes (DONE)
Work on the TTOA site - 1 1/2 hours (DONE)
Work on Part 2 (DONE)
Watch TV and crap b4 bed - 30 minutes (DONE)

What is with voice-acting as you promise on your website??^^

I want voice-actors plz.^^

:D

I'm not going to get voice actors until the entire project is 100% done.

Why:
Because if I have voice actors act for pt. 2, what if they suddenly disappear or don't want to act for pt. 3?
Or what if I get pt. 1-5 done and voiced, and then I lose interest and the project fails? Then it would have been a letdown for the voice actors.

Hold it right there Iron, you better be pretty tired to think i would let you leave me hanging on this story. If you lose intrest you better pull yourself together to make one last one to finish the story.:mtk:

Of course if I start to lose interest I will do something to wrap up the story :ggani:
Didn't get much more done besides the site tonight. Kinda bored out from the rest of the time I spent on TTOA today.

I really need to work on the weekdays more. If only I wasn't so tired from school. Well tommorow I'm gonna try to kick lazyness in the *** and work on TTOA for a good while. :ggani:

No progress for the past 3 days. Well no cinematic progress. I've drawn the maps for 3 new continents, and named most of the regions/cities of them.

I may release some new info soon, so stay tuned :ggani:

Got the Pt. 2 map open right now, I'll prolly do a few things (but then I gotta do my homework :bgrun: )

12-13

Ok I've been working on a storyline/background info update for the site. But its taking a loooonnng time. Writing some good info takes time. Especially when I only have 3/5 continents done, and I really should have worldmaps for each continent posted before I put up any data. But that would take me a really long time. Anyway, I'll prolly put something up fairly soon. I gotta get some of these old sections of storyline updated, so I can start to type up something that makes sense.

I'll prolly do a bunch on pt. 2 tommorow, as Sundays are the day when I get the most work done on TTOA.

Pretty cool man i have't readed this much because youll never get pt 2 done cuz u play to many gay games like Myst and halo newayz gt huyin foo cuz i wat to play jew

English Translation:
Pretty Cool Man i have't read much because youll never get part 2 done cause you play too many gay games like myst and halo anyways get hurryin foo i want to play

Ok I added about 1.5 minutes this morning (not debugged of course, but its there for me to test out and fix up to perfection :ggani:)
After that I played Halo with Daemonkillar.
I got plenty of time left to work on it today. I have lil' bit of homework, but being my lazy self, I'll probably just wait until homeroom monday morning to do it :ggani:

Back to work... or something emote_sweat

EDIT: Got a few more little things done.

So in all I got alot done today. Hopefully I'll be able to get some stuff done tommorow as well. Christmas break is up soon so I'll be out of school with plenty of time on my hands :ggani:

Good night all,

I was just thinking it would be cool if you made a Matrix kind of approch to this. I mean The Matrix came out, then a WHILE later Reloaded came out but with a already made preview of Revolution.

Maby you should do that, get people all hyped up after they see part 2 instead of seeing it and then fall back to sleep. Like right now.

I've already said pt. 2 won't be released alone. It wouldn't fit right if I released it alone. There is no combat what-so-ever in it, and it would just leave people hanging more then it would satisfy them.

There I do something like this:

Release pt. 2 + 3
Release pt. 2 + 3 + 4, then release the rest
Release pt. 2 + 3 + 4, then 5,6,7,8,9 then 10,11,12,13,14,15
Or I'll release it all when its completely finished.

Most likely I'll go with option 1 or 2 :ggani:

Iron_Ian

i think you should release them a bit at a time like cotn, cuz otherwise ppl will lose interest.

Release part 2+3 and then go ahaed in an other package-size.

But very important is following: Think of Erati, Zurg and me, we all make cins, and we will present it when they are particularly done, I think.
So may you have finished part 2+3 und you are working on part 4 and then suddenly^^ Zurg, Erati or I present our newest cinematic, and it is so good, that you think your part 2 btw. part 3 is too bad to show it. So you would make them new, and then the aim to finish your cinematic would move far away, cause I think you would loose interest.

So find a good middle-way to present your cins. If I were you, I would release part 2+3.

:D

I guess I will then. And then I'll release a l33t completely finalized version after I have done all the parts and released them.

*Waits for editor to save TTOA map*
Hehehe. I'm actually doing stuff on a weeknight 0_o

EDIT: Well I got a few things done. But its a school night so not too much was done.

I won't be able to do much tommorow, as I have an essay to work on, but I should have some time Wednesday and Friday. :ggani:
