Dance of the Wanderers: Update for October 2016

          It's very, very late, but Dance of the Wanderers Episode 1 is finally completed and on the blog for all to read! You can check it out on the Dance of the Wanderers’ page alongside the original outline and treatment and its two earlier drafts.

          Dance of the Wanderers Episode 1 is entitled: Jigsaw Falling Into Place (Home). The episode follows Kathleen Nyro as she experiences the worst day of her life. Having already lost her job and being forced to go to what is essentially her layoff party tonight, it seems the world can’t let that be the only trouble she faces today.

          Next up, I will be working on both Episode 2 and 3. I plan on having the drafts (or hopefully the final scripts) done by the time Final Fantasy XV comes out (Nov. 29th). Because, a lot of Episode 2 is the same as the pilot and Episode 3 is a simpler episode in general they will be easier to put together. And, I’ve already begun writing the scripts.

          The last thing I what to talk about is the future or end goal of Dance of the Wanderers. For a couple reasons that aren’t that important to go it to, I decided to write this story as script instead of a normal novel-style story. Doing so means that as it is the scripts aren’t actually the final product. Scripts aren’t meant to be the endgame. That said, what I’ve been thinking about the past few months is how to makes them complete and I’ve settled on something I think is good.

          Previously, I was working on an audio drama, so I thought about doing the same for Wanderers, but Wanderers has too many visual elements to it. I would’ve had to rewrite the scripts to reflect the changes or add in a narrator to read the details but feels cheap to me. Then it hit me. I could do something like the Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel—an audio/visual comic. Get an artist to draw the episodes and find actors to perform them. So, that’s my end goal for Dance of the Wanderers.

          As of right now, I’m just focusing on finishing the scripts, but hopefully, in time I can make it to my end goal.

Dance of the Wanderers: June Update

     This update will be short; I don't have a lot to update you guys on this month.

     So, as of writing this I should be nearly done with the draft of Episode 5, yet I've barely cracked Episode 2. To say Episode 2 has been giving me trouble would be an understatement. It's been giving me a tremendous amount of trouble and frustration and doubt. It's an important episode, probably the most important of the first arc and definitely the most important episode now. But moving away from bad news and excuses--

          The good news is I've finally been making some nice progress. I had a lot of trouble with the intro and now I have something simple that I believe fits the tone of the episode and encapsules its themes. Episode 3 and 4 shouldn't give me as much trouble as Episode 2, so I won't say it'll be easy sailing after 2 (it won't), but the we should be out of the storm.

     That's all for this update, with me luck and remember you can check out future updates here or on the Dance of the Wanderers page.

Dance of the Wanderers: May Update

     So, it's being a while since the last update. A lot longer than I had initially planned. Apologies. I ran into some successes and a lot of setbacks. So, where to start...

     The preproduction phase had ended... sort of. I got a good amount of work done but nowhere near what I hoped. I've decided to do the production work in tandem with the script writing since the main preproduction work is done. Outlines for the ACT 1 episodes (1-4) are done and I'm working on episodes 2 and 3 right now. A super rough draft of episode 1 is already completed, though the quality is definitely lacking (EP 2-4 will be higher quality and EP 1 will be rewriting in time).

     The schedule has not changed, which means that I am two episodes behind. The current plan is not to change the schedule. I plan on catching up and speeding up the draft writing (More on that in a future update). Drafts for episodes 2 and 3 (and hopeful 4) should be finished by the end of May and the next update should hit in early June.

     Other than that, I've reuploaded the Pilot script with minor corrections added it. Check that out and other finished drafts and scripts on the Dance of the Wanderers page.

Story/Site Plans for 2015

Currently replaying ~ It's still so amazing!!

          Hi Everyone.

          If you're reading this, thank you so much for visiting my blog after a long silence. I've got a lot of plans for 2015 and some of them involve my blog network. I've never been much of a blogger--writing random articles or talking about my personal on goings. I've occasionally dabbled in that stuff to various degrees of success and interest: Best Quote of the Week (Good), Reviews (Bad), and News (Ugly). But the bread and butter, the true core of these blogs have always been about being a place to easier display my projects--be that stories, games, pictures, etc. This year, or rather December of last, I made some resolutions projects-wise. Which in turn means more life here, if least a little.

Dance of the Wanderers

     For 2015, I'm working on a new project entitled: Dance of the Wanderers. It's a 15 episode series that about a young woman name Kathleen Nyro who becomes cursed by a Spirit and has to find a way to break the curse or leave her home behind forever.

     I'm really tired right now, so this won't be long. If you want to find out more about the project check out the Dance of the Wanderers page. There you can read updates, my insane schedule, or the just (I mean moment ago) finished Pilot episode.
