Microsoft Courier Reaction Video Preview

[Cymon]

I've toyed with the idea of a VIP section on Cymon's Games where if you paid for a monthly subscription you'd get access to the stuff I was working on before it went public like betas for the next AP as well as sketches and whatnot. my development pace is pretty slow, being as Cymon's Games is a weekend and evenings thing which is competing with so it wouldn't be more than a couple bucks a month but you'd be supporting independent game development as well as programming education and helping me justify to my wife this time suck of a hobby of mine.

But, since I haven't initiated the VIP section maybe a preview of what the VIP section would be if I had one is in order. Attached to this are the wav files that I'll be illustrating for my next rant for the Lockergnome channel. Enjoy.

(Sorry about the less-mainstream file format. Apparently I haven't got the right version of Lame Installed in audicity at the moment. Hope you can listen to it.)

If you do this I will pay monthly.

[Cymon]

Well that makes one.

So if I did have a VIP section right now, I'd be dropping this into it.

This is the first pass, no music, of the opening of my videos for lockergnome. Gotta edit out a few bad frames there, but that's what I got now. (Need to go beddy bye.) I think it turned out alright.

I could also potentially drop a video of the drawing I did at the beginning at a more watchable speed, tho I did some reference drawings first that I forgot to record and then did a rough drawing which I made very very light and drew over so I could draw that drawing faster and more accurately. Still, you're looking at it sped up like 16 or 32 times.

EDIT: I've had imusic.net and Pterodactyl Squad recommended by Bytejacker's own John Riveria. That's good for the blippy. Anything else more musical jazzy or rock-y (and royalty free) anyone know of?

It's live now.

What Is a Microsoft Courier?

Gonna wait at least till tomorrow then reveal some Easter eggs in the video.

Easter egging!

• The opening music is a remix of the Suppox music for Star Control 2. The ending is a remix of the Zot Fot Pik song from the same. Someone on YouTube caught the ending remix, but no one caught the opening.
• I drew Cymon in the Buddy Jesus pose. I thought sure I'd be called out for that one.
• This is also the first time I've put a smiley on Cymon's Screen. I originally intended his screen to only display one character at a time, but I broke that rule this time.
• I drew the portable computer as a Pokemon because Pokemon stands for "pocket monster" and it's a pocket computer that I was talking about and... It was a stretch at best.

That's it for this video. Lockergnome is asking for more, tho at the moment I have nothing. School started this week, I'm still the new guy at work, and my creative well is tapped. So if anyone of you have any ideas for what I can do next, pipe up.
