Neverending Nights

Well, Bioware has gone and done it! They launched the official Neverwinter Nights 2 forum. Naturally, I am keeping my eyes glued to what they’re going to offer in NWN2. I’d like to, when the time comes, port over to NWN2… however, if we aren’t able to make characters that look like Peter and Grayson (Peter clearly being the more important one, since he carries the series!) – I am not sure how we would do it. But if need be, I’d be more than willing to stick with NWN1 for the duration of our Machinima Series (however long that may be!)

If you are signed in, I made a post over on the NWN2 forums over here. You can also find a discussion on their forum about NWN2 over here – and it includes some very important monkey talk!

BIG surprise awaits you in the video section…

Well, I am not gonna blow the surprise here – but if you should head into the video section, there’s something waiting for you! (Is it Episode 6? Well… I will tell you now, it isn’t!) But… then what could it be? Are you looking at the video section right now, wondering what it is? Of course not, because you’re still reading this! You can’t trick me! So when you get a chance… head into the Video Section… and look for something that weighs in at 134 megs of Neverending Nights … um, goodness?

What? Were you expecting something more? When we said big surprise – we meant big as in file size! Share your comments over here.

The folks at Machinima.com have been hard at work! They recently launched a brand new look to their site! I gotta say, I dig it! It makes finding things much easier – also if you go into one series, if the maker has other items on Machinima.com – it kindly shows you links with thumbnails to them! Why don’t I grab a random example to show you? Let’s see… random search through Machinima.com… ah ha, here’s one that looks interesting! Check out how it looks!

Snazzy, eh?

And for those wondering, Episode 5 should be up any day now. (Probably sometime tonight). And gonna touch up Episode 6 some (we shot some additional footage to see if we could make it look smoother)…

Also, if you didn’t notice (I only discovered after a little bird told me! See! I didn’t duplicate the email this time! They will never know it was you, Ben! D’oh!) – Episode 1 on Machinima.com – now has a streaming Quicktime version of it! So check it out! (Special thanks to Ben for all the hardwork!)

Interesting. Stumbled across this while running around Machinima.com… it’s an editoral blog about the current state of Machinima! But why do I find it “interesting.”

Because other than Red vs Blue, it seems to tear apart every other Machinima out there… Except… check this out…

Neverending Nights. Got potential. Have to watch some more episodes.
But clearly, these guys know how to voice act and display emotion in the dialog.

Now I am floored… because when I read through the other ones it tore through… those are ones that have been around a lot longer than ours, and have more time under their belt.

You can read the whole thing over here.

You can also discuss it on our forum, over here and share your thoughts if you agree, disagree, etc – not just about what he said about us – but Machinima in general.

Also, if you head into the video section, you will see the final draft of Episode 5: Ye Salty Dog! (Right Click SAVE AS…) has been released for your downloading (dis)pleasure! Comment about the episode can be made on our forum! This episode introduces our first “new actress” into Neverending Nights! It’s Christi, the Salt Vendor from Galana! And if you have been following the poll on our forum she is currently winning the “Most Popular Character” vote! (So feel free to go in there and vote for “Peter”).

No, it’s not available for download – yet. We finished the audio last week and completed the filming just a few days ago. After some quick editing, Episode Six was completed about an hour ago! We’re now working on Episode 7 and the Christmas Episode! (Yes, Christmas! We know it’s late… or very, very early, depending on how you want to look at it!)
