Neverending Nights

13 Is Bad Luck.

So I had finished editing the audio for Episode 13 – but when I went back and listened to it (and Adam agrees), it would seem I cut too much dead air between the speeches, so it sounds like we’re talking incredibly fast. And when we apply the cave echo effect to it, it makes it almost impossible to understand. How I didn’t catch this before I saved and closed it as the final draft is well beyond me. (Probably has to do with how my Sunday went… I am telling you!) So it’s back to editing the audio for Episode 13 of Neverending Nights. Sigh. At least the audio is entertaining to listen to in rough format, because we trash talk one another relentlessly.

Well, it didn’t take too long for someone to figure out the truth about the Closing Doors announcement… but some were snagged and fooled by the announcement. You can read about it over here.

Hey folks. Just got an email from someone high up on the Bioware chain. It seems Neverending Nights was well received on the lower end of the totem pole at Bioware… but it apparently (slowly) made it’s way up the food chain and into the execs. Well, it apparently reached high enough where someone did not take kindly to us using Neverwinter Nights to use our machinima, and kindly asked us to cease production and close down the site. They’re giving us till April 15th to yank all the videos off our site here, then they will go through the channels needed to get it yanked off any other sites. They thanked us, and were very nice about everything. But they have to do what they have to do. So thank you all for riding the ride with us while it lasted – it’s been great! The person who contacted us about this was: Sloof Lirpa.

Think about it.

Ye can comment here.

It’s now available for download to the general public! Episode 8: On Borrowed Gold (Right Click… SAVE AS…) is now available for your viewing pleasure! This one weighs in at a little over 6 minutes, but is a mere 35 or so megs! (Don’t ask me, I don’t know why this one turned out so small, despite the fact that it’s longer! Video Compression is Voodoo Magic to me!) After ye have checked it out, head over to the forum and comment on the episode! I will probably begin editing Episode 9 sometime next week (audio and filming is already done – just needs to be cut and diced).

Episode 8 is in the can! It’s been cut, diced, edited, and… Well, that’s it. But it’s pretty much near done. For some reason, there is a lot of audio feedback during the episode itself… Which I can’t figure out why. (Since later, it’s fine…) I considered calling Adam and asking if he wants to redo the audio for Episode 8… but poor Episode 8 has suffered enough setbacks. Also, Episode 9 begins the new recording system – so I figure you guys would gladly suffer one episode of some nasty background “humming” noise, just to get the dern episode at long last!

So, finishing up the last touches… and will be making it available as soon as possible! Thanks for sticking around during all of the delays!

Also, if you’re a fan of the infamous “Map” – you should head into our online store. Plenty of surprises there. Also added a few more new shirts, with more to come!

UPDATE: The hissing sound “issue” that centered around Episode 8 is pretty much resolved. Because I know you guys want the best, and you expect the best, from the best – I couldn’t let Episode 8 go out the way it was sounding. (Besides, since it’s the Episode that features my wife – she’d think I did it intentionally to use the hissing sound to cover up her “amazing” voice acting skills!) Anyway, I’d like to give special thanks to Market Pantry Orange Citrus Soda for keeping me company while I figured out how to fix the sound…
