  1. It's still planned but we got other stuff we want to put on the channel first.
  2. I'll need your gmail
  3. So umm to avoid any further problems, any additional Kliff and Justice players want to look at their scripts?
  4. Episode 1 REMASTERED is up.
  5. Most of the cast is pretty easy to play. Just pick whoever that isn't named Carl.
  6. So suggestions for the higher level perks have been that the character experts will watch matches of donors or play against them online and give them feedback. I don't think anybody who offers their help (and getting payed for their work) will be objecting to this, right?
  7. Every game can teach you fundamentals, but also give you plenty of game specific habits. And shaking those off as a noob as you switch between games is hard. This is why I don't like the concept of "gateway" games. Go straight to the game that is your true goal. If you like one game, play that game. If you like several games, play these several games, but don't play games just to get ready for other games.
  8. SF4 only builds your SF4 ability. If you want to play game X well, just go and start playing game X, not other games.
  9. Have your content in written form first and get peer reviews on it. This will prevent possible screw ups. In any case I just got to watch the show as part of research before a future project, good stuff so far. I liked the training mode episode because it offered a somewhat different approach from how I learn a new character.
  10. Is it just me or that the damage in Xrd is roughly 20% higher?
  11. As I said, right now I'm only doing beta phase i.e. measuring the time it takes to make an episode from scratch. If you want to write about CP Rachel, PM me your email and I'll give you access to the document page.
  12. There are no "deadlines". You just write a huge forum post with all the main important stuff one needs to know about the character, in a template we'll provide, and we make a script out of it, and when you look at it and approve it your role is done. It's only supposed to be a few hours of work in your free time overall. And I don't want people doing scripts for characters who aren't their mains unless there is no other choice.
  13. People are willing to donate but it's in the ambiguous "can or cannot happen" area right now. At this point we need 1 BB character expert to help us create a "beta" episode, so we can test the new time saving approach for the production we were working on. Obviously if the project get funded he'll get paid for his time when the episode is published like all the rest of the people who will help.

  15. PM with links sent.
  16. Pichy, why aren't you checking your PMs ever?
  17. Pichy and I made the scripts before the JP PS3 ver came out. The problem is that he has not been showing signs of life lately and I want to make sure the scripts don't need any updates. So either get him to show up, or find other JU/KL experts who can help.
  18. So far according to the poll- Some people really want to throw money at the screen, but not enough. Also the main amount most people are willing to pay is 5$. What I think we'd be better off doing at this point is to redesign the series, to cut the production time but to still try to keep most of the quality i.e. Pareto that shit down!
  19. I'll try posting the poll in other places. I think my channel is mostly GG lovers and not many BB lovers.

  23. Edit: Here's a teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHCXSzRRRPY
  24. Ok how about this- Instead of a kickstarter of 7000$ or bust, how about a kickstarter of 250$ (Edit: 300$, because of indiegogo and paypal fees) for a single episode, with additional stretch goals for more episodes (300$ each) and people can vote for which characters where each dollar counts for a vote, or something. That way at least we don't commit to a whole year worth's of hard work, and we can continue the donation after paypal ends and more people get to see the videos.
  25. (Copy pasted from the GB thread since the BB players this would be for are here and not there.) As I said in the comments already, a similar series for BBCP is not planned right now, but I'd like to share some more detailed reasoning, and do it in here where people can voice their opinions on the situation: The time it takes to produce an episode for a single character from scratch, considering the hard work of picking the right content, presenting it in the right way, and then creating a video that looks good, rather than some cheap looking windows movie maker things you usually see on youtube, takes between 20 to 30 hours. 20-30 hours is relatively fine for a one time project, but multiply that with 25 characters and this turns into another full time job on top of your actual job, all which you do for free, during your free time. Back then when we put up an episode per week, I had no life outside of it. All my free time after work and during weekends went on that, which burned me out and eventually forced me to take a 2 month break between episodes 7 and 8 -- and you can look at each video's date yourself to confirm that. This is also why we switched to bi-weekly format. Having an episode ready every week was literally impossible. While we do intent to finish what we started, we also had to accept that projects like this are too much effort for not much reward. So from now on the focus will be on projects that don't force you to commit to 20+ episodes from the very beginning, only on projects of smaller scale -- but not of smaller importance! (You'd be excited for what we DO have planned, but that's a topic for another day.) So now there are 2 options: 1. You accept that the scope of what we can give you is limited, mainly because of time constraints, and settle with just getting that. This is what usually happens with free internet content, and that's what we are prepared for. 2. You decide that those "extra" projects, like BlazBits, are important to you. Important enough that you'd be willing to pitch in with 1$, or 2$, or 5$ to make it happen, i.e. Kickstarter the shit out of it. If time equals money and our scale is measured in minimum wage, then think about Guilty Bits as a 7000$ present from us to the community. We hope you enjoyed your present, but we really can't afford to commit to another 7000$ worth of hours to make another 25 part series. Making compromises on the quality of the content is not an option, because ending up with a sub-par guide is a waste of time, and making compromises on the production values is also not an option, because it's vital to leave an impression of "holy shit this is awesome" that attracts new people to the game, and that's something you simply can't do with windows movie maker quickies. So either you help make it happen, or you somehow convince the publisher @Aksysgames or @ArcSystemWorksU even to help make it happen, or we settle with option #1. Your choice, and we'll be fine with whatever you decide. No hard feelings.
