Hello there Ray thread. I am going to be updating all of you with what is going on. As @
4theRECORD
asked, what is the update? Well, we have a petition to bring back Custom Robo going on which is located
here. As of right now, it hasn't officially launched. Why? Well, in order to make others aware of our cause, we figured that the best way would be to put together a
video that shows off the series, and you can watch a preview for it here. The next part is going to be some good news/bad news sort of thing.
Now, this is where the real update is. We have quite a few people who will be promoting our cause, including Nintendo World Report, VideoGame BootCamp, Everything Smash, etc. The video, as it stands, is 95% complete. The only thing missing was commentary. I had a cruise to go on for some time now, and as it stood, I wouldn't have the time to record good audio. I went out and purchased a desktop microphone from best buy that ended up being garbage. With nothing left to record with, I was stuck with my laptop microphone. I spent atleast 3 days trying to record my rehearsed lines from a script with over 3,000 words. Nothing came out good. I would either mess up the sentence, miss a que, or just sound extremely weird. I mean, extremely weird. I had to change the pitch of my voice while recording just for it to sound somewhat normal, while trying to sound enthusiastic, while trying to read the words on time. It was absolutely ridiculous. I even had someone who was in the corner of the room I was recording in just SNORING while I was trying to record (he assured me he slept silently, but it was a lie).
Running out of time, I handed the task over to somebody who volunteered to take care of it since they had all the right recording equipment. It was a pretty big mistake. When I got back from my cruise, he had it done. I opened up the file in excitement, only to find out he had a really annoying voice and everything he read was obviously not taken seriously, as it sounded like some kid who had to go up in front of the class and acted smug about whatever he was presenting. I was seriously running out of time at this point, as my trial on my program I was using was going to be done in a matter of days.
I went to my one friends house to record all of my stuff as he had offered to let me use his studio to record, as he has tons of music equipment and tons of stuff to record with. Well, it was a nightmare. Me and his son were in the middle of set-up, and we must have spent atleast 30 minutes trying to get everything together. His father comes down and says he knows a better way, and goes to unplug everything we just set up. He brought out all these microphones and wires and pedals out that just didn't work together properly. He was obviously wasted and started getting touchy after nothing seemed to work.
After that, my program trial was up and it wouldn't even let me finish exporting the video in time. So as it stands right now, I have to buy the program in order to continue with the project. As some of you know, I left my job before the trip. During the trip, I was spending a lot, thinking I had the money to cover it. As it turns out, I had someone using the funds from my account while I was away, so I came back to almost nothing in my checking account. I'm getting another job as we speak, and am trying to fix my bank account problem so I don't enter debt before finishing college. I'm also busy trying to get my schoolwork caught up for 5 classes that I missed for two weeks during vacation, with finals happening RIGHT NOW.
I've been seriously busy and faced with tons of problems, but such is life, I will overcome it. I'm currently trying to find a plan B for the video, but in the meantime I will be making some support videos such as what Ray's moveset could be in smash or what could be in a new custom robo game, or videos similar to that. I'm also doing a remix of the song
Heaven, which might take me a bit before it's done. Just know that I haven't forgotten about you guys whatsoever, it's been quite the opposite really. I feel pressured to give you guys the best, so dealing with all of this has been really hard on me and just pushes me further to persevere. You guys keep me rolling though with your support, so please keep on giving it. -S1LV3RH00D aka Gameb0ybryan
