Oh snap. :O

[DigiDiskette]

Oh shi-
That was just beautiful.
So much so that I had to log into the forums for the first time in months and say so.

[Rio]

....If this was an actual movie or play, i would camp out for it.

[Demonsul]

Awesome. Really, damn, awesome.



CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO BEGIN PROPER

[nvo]

Excellent work! I look forward to hearing more of it!

[Bilar]

Radio plays are the great lost art of the 20th century.

I approve.

[crackpotTheorist]

AWESOME. Teleharmonic is THE BEST SCRATCH.

[kaoticAntagonist]

wicked sweet.

[draconicAlgorithm]

Hopy shit. I just got 1000x more excited for this. 333

[cyclicCircumferentia]

Oh god YES, I've been stalking for this for the longest time.

Sounds epic already dajhbdajbad.

[ErrorEx]

OBLIGATORY

Ughghhauih I can't wait to hear the rest!

[cosmosOgler]

Oh, yes! I'm so excited.

[Kíeros]

Yay! It has finally arrived. Almost.

Question of taste: Can I say that we are all -EXCIT--------ED even though Fef is dead?

[arianadream]

Question of taste: Can I say that we are all -EXCIT--------ED even though Fef is dead?

I don't think there's ever a time you can't say that you are -EXCIT--------ED about something awesome.

BTW, thanks for all the enthusiasm, guys! I'm so glad you're looking forward to the radio play - things have gotten kind of quiet about it, but we are still working HARD, and a ton has gotten done. The first episode will be released soon and it will be awesome!

[Son_of_Orion]

Can't wait. This is gonna be the SHIT.

[crackpotTheorist]

Each voice actors name in the credits should link to their tindeck.

Let us get a taste of whats to come.

[AgentKaz]

Woaaahhh, this sounds really awesome!

[PumpkinMan]

I cannot wait for this.

[absoluteCertainty]

\o/ jfsghdfgjyes !

[youdont12know]

You guys are awesome. Forever. May the internet bless you.

[Degulus]

And the youtube comments set a negative tone early in and mostly trash talking my Sollux lisp. Guess it's best to stick over here where people are not assholes.

As if anyone can change this thing now, the trailer is out cause we're actually close to releasing things.

Well, here's the thing. We are working very hard on this project. There are probably about 50 of us involved. We've been working on this steadily for six months. It's a miracle we're still going strong, and we should all be proud of everything we've done. Most of us are not professionals, many of us only recently learned to do new things like voice act, record sound effects, or edit audio, and few of us have very high quality recording equipment. Could we do a better job if we had a recording studio and a budget? Absolutely. But this is a fan project, done on our own time, so it's actually quite amazing what we've come up with so far.

If people want to hate on YouTube, that's fine. We don't really have to listen. Criticism is okay - we always want to know how we can make things better. But "I don't like it" isn't really helpful and should be ignored. I don't want to discourage constructive criticism, but it's probably best if it's made either by PM to a producer/director. Also, if you plan to discuss your ideas and suggestions for the radio play publicly, please do it in the production thread! That said, those of you who have responded so far in this topic are wonderful. It's stuff like this that inspires us to continue working hard on this project.

ETA: Further clarification of my position on this can be found here.

[Bilar]

I wish I would have know of this project earlier so I could have auditioned, but oh well, I see that it is in excellent hands already.

[lucidSeraph]

oh my god it's popcorn time
