Pre-Orders Going Well;Production Continues
Posted: December 21st, 2009 | Author: Jason Scott | Filed under: Interactive Fiction, production | 3 Comments »Just wanted to stop in and say that the pre-ordering promotion has been going very well, with hundreds of pre-orders from folks. I am grateful and appreciative. Right now, the duplication costs are basically paid for, although I intend to make the package more deluxe and this will increase costs a tad – it’s about putting out the best package possible, to reward people for still buying a package in the digital age.
I’ve been working basically non-stop on editing the movie, on getting additional “assets” into the mix, and generally putting stuff together. It’s a lot of work, but it’s really worth it, and I really do love this subject – combing through hours of people discussing interactive fiction and text adventures has been a real treat.
More meaty updates will come after the first of the year – right now it’s literally 12-20 hours a day of editing. There’s not much to say about that for the moment, other than the aforementioned fact that I find it really fun.
Keep spreading the word on pre-orders! Like I said, the price goes to the expected $40 on January 1st.

Jason, if you don’t mind, what editing software is that? Cinerella? What’s your workflow generally like?
It’s Sony Vegas 8. (I haven’t moved 9 yet, and probably won’t for this production.)
To go into the workflow in major detail would take a lot of time I don’t have right now, but I’ll answer questions about it if people have them.
The only comment is how much I’m looking forward to this! Might be too late (it’s Dec 31st) but might shoot over to retrogamer site and give the DVD a plug. Don’t know if the forum allows that, but I’m sure many retrogame fans will want to know of the DVD
