Up and running!

Hello everyone – another small update! Last night we managed to re-film all of Episode 8 and Episode 9! We’re also using a new program that seems to generate a sharper image quality to the videos. (We’ll see once we’re done and through with everything!)

That’s it for now!

Delay of game… 10 yard penalty!

Hey folks! I know I said Episode 8 was almost done – but we’re going film some additional footage to use in it. We will probably be doing that this weekend. So Episode 8 will probably come out sometime next week. Also, starting with Episode 10 probably (I like numbers like 10!), we will be trying to deliver a new episode every 10 days (see, there’s that number 10 again! – Actually, the 10 days was Adam’s idea).

But in the meantime, The Neverending Nights store is open, so you can check that out. Go on and grab yourself one! You know you want to! Available in a number of sizes, too! Have some suggestions, ideas, comments? Head into the forum and let us know!

Open 24 Hours!?

Yes… the Cafepress store is now officially open. I am working on making up some shirts (most of them will be various lines from the series) – and you can check it out – available first – The Flashy Neverending Nights T-Shirt among some other ones! Go on and grab yourself one! You know you want to! Available in a number of sizes, too! Have some suggestions, ideas, comments? Head into the forum and let us know!

Eventually, I’d love to open our own shop (free of Cafepress) – but that’s for the future to decide!

New Heroes… and more Tawmis Ramblings.

Well, Adam, Paul and myself just finished recording Episode 11’s Audio last night… and we are pretty sure our new “heroes” are going to become the new fan favorites! (Perhaps even becoming more popular than Peter, if such a thing is possible!)

I can not tell you how much fun we had recorded this episode… Well, with my talent for rambling (no really, scroll down)… I am sure I could. But I will save that tale for another time!

Well we have laid low bringing updates here because of our bandwidth woes. After being mentioned in the Bioware Newsletter, we tripled our bandwidth max (which was 80 gigs). So I haven’t said much here, trying to let the bandwidth kind of even out. But… some updates…

The filming for Episode 9 is now also complete (but still needs to edited… naturally, after Episode 8 is edited… and speaking of Episode 8…)

Episode 8 is nearly complete, and will probably be available soon. It will probably be available off the mirror site exclusively for bandwidth purposes (for the time being, till we make it into next month).

We still need to film Episode 10 and 11… and that will put us ahead for a little while.

The reaction to us being in the Bioware Newsletter has been overwhelming! It’s given us a ton more exposure (naturally if we have tripled our bandwidth limit of 80 gigs, right?)… And because of those bandwidth woes, we opened up a Neverending Nights Paypal account… where donations will go towards the website’s bandwidth… recording studio equipment… etc etc.

Also if anyone is going to E3, look for us there! (Well, we won’t have a booth… but Adam, myself and Chris [who plays Eric the Elongated in Episode 9]… and we’re working on getting Paul [who plays, aduh, Paul the Dwarf] the pass we need – will be at E3 roaming around)! And if ye see us and wanan smack us, say hello, or whatever – feel free to!

Also thinking of opening up a Cafepress store as well… both for advertising purposes… and to make a dollar here and there – again all to pay for that crazy bandwidth.

Before – every day we averaged about 1 to 2 gigs… So the closest we ever really got was using about 65 gigs of 80gigs…

Since the Bioware Newsletter – our average seems to be sitting at 3 to 3.5 gigs every day… (So even if ye take 3 gigs x 30 days = 90 gigs – which still goes over our bandwidth)!

So we will probably be doing a few things when Episode 10 comes out…

1. We will cut it down to make it only 5 Episodes available for download, and we will rotate through them. (So for example, when we release Episode 10, probably Episodes 6 thru 10 will be available… then around Episode 15, it will be like Episodes 1 thru 4, plus Episode 15, etc etc).

2. We’re going to offer low-res versions of the video. Because, let’s face it – we don’t have the mad following that folks like Rooster Teeth have. So not everyone is all into having Hi-Res versions of our videos. Some would be content – and probably more than happy, for that matter – to have low-res versions, as they just may wanna watch it and delete it (and this would provide quicker downloads).

So between low-res versions, limited videos available, mirror sites, paypal donations, and opening a NeN store soon… I am hoping that everything balances out. :-)

Wonder who has done what voices (or who will be doing what voices in upcoming episodes) – check out the Cast & Credits link.

In the future (when Adam has the time since he’s the PHP master, and I am the mere and much humbled html master) – the link will be available from the main page!

And don’t forget, if you’re downloading the videos this month – to help with bandwidth issues, download from the mirror site.

Phew.

I think that’s it for now.

Small Update…

Medic! We need a medic over here! Our bandwidth is bleeding!

Heh, okay, aside from our bandwidth issues… I would like to give you guys a small update! I am currently editing Episode 8’s audio… and then will be applying it to the video… I’d like to get Episode 8 available sometime soon… though, because of the aforementioned bandwidth woes, it will probably only be available off one of the mirror sites and not off NeverendingNights.com directly, until next month (I imagine anyway).

Also, sometime last week, or the week before (everything’s a blur at this point) – we did the audio for Episode 9. Well tonight, Adam and I finished filming Episode 9. (You may notice a small change in the video quality in Episode 9… the computers were recently wiped and applied with clean installs – so we sort of accidently lost the recording setting we got so used to… but I think I managed to recover that info tonight)! But Episode 9 may look a little different (and may look more like Episode 2 and 3… unless we actually take the time to refilm it all).

Next… If you have any kind of issues with the website, or downloads, or anything of that nature that deals with Neverending Nights – head into this forum and let us know!

I’d like to thank those of you who have generously applied donations to the paypal account for the site (we’re a bit worried that we’re going to be looking at a big bill at the end of the month for exceeding our bandwidth so much…) Also, if you do donate – Adam will be notified. And if you do donate, let us know your user name on the boards (if you have account there), by private messaging Adam or myself on the forums. We’re going to be testing something out that will be exclusive to folks who donate.

And another bit of exciting news – Adam started building the recording studio in his garage for future recordings of Neverending Nights. And though it’s barely started, I am already very excited about how it’s turning out!

Now… back to the grind of editing Episode 8.
