One last deed left undone

As mentioned on the front page, we have new and very talented members on our team:

Nefarious Guy, who is a Jedi Academy machinimator. He will be handling our marketing and recruitment jobs.

Drowned Fish, who is a talented 3D modeller, and he will be creating weapons and static objects for OTSS 2.

Macabre, who has done popular machinima films in the past such as NYPD Blues (one of the very few Max Payne 2 machinima out there). He will be doing some of the heavy Faceposer work for Precedent and OTSS 2, as well as sound and music if necessary.

Snipa Masta, who will be taking care of UV Mapping and skinning for OTSS 2's custom models.

The OTSS 2 script is really more of a fourth draft than a second, mostly because I've scrapped several versions before fully finishing them. I wish I could keep redoing and redoing, because with each passing day it becomes better and better. But there has to be a point where it just has to be done and you gotta accept that it's never going to be perfect. All I know is that it's much, much better than the first draft, and I'm fairly proud of it now.

A question that has been ringing in my head is whether we should release the film in 3 parts or 6. Releasing the whole film together is out of the question, although it would be my first choice. It'd take another 2 years if we did that. The total amount of custom content is depressing - right now I'm estimating around 15 different character models, and around 18 different sets. Not to mention all of the custom animations, weapon models, static objects, textures for the sets, and skins for the models.

Most people suggest 3 parts, and that is my main choice as well for the moment...

Precedent is on hold until I get my laptop back from Dell (next week).

Man, I am really looking forward to OTSS2. The first one really hooked me. Terrific sound, cinematography, effects, and man- the story really left me wanting more!

Anyways, good luck!
