[05:55:16] Dadrobit https://i.imgur.com/S9oQfgi.jpg Bearded Trace has changed just a bit lol.

[05:57:28] unsteddyphoenix Yeah

[05:57:33] unsteddyphoenix He has so much

[05:57:44] unsteddyphoenix Just...unreleased stuff

[05:58:04] unsteddyphoenix This trace you could voice

[05:58:07] unsteddyphoenix He has stubble

[05:58:58] Bgrmystr2 wait really? When did the image of that folder come from Dadro?

[06:02:57] unsteddyphoenix the datters were originally 14 and 17 huh...

[06:09:28] Bgrmystr2 :thinking: Hm, 6:10 in the mornin

[06:09:32] Bgrmystr2 will need to sleep I guess

[06:09:45] Dadrobit Oh, man, it's old, Tom put those out years ago.

[06:09:54] Bgrmystr2 oh okay good to know

[06:09:57] Bgrmystr2 thought it was recent

[06:09:57] Dadrobit Along with showing off the original first pages

[06:09:59] Dadrobit https://i.imgur.com/qLowtz7.jpg

[06:10:13] Dadrobit Fun Note: Flora doesn't have her stripes yet.

[06:10:19] Bgrmystr2 omg ;D

[06:10:24] Bgrmystr2 er

[06:10:26] Bgrmystr2 :D *

[06:10:30] Bgrmystr2 wrongface

[06:11:09] Bgrmystr2 "Dream 1" in the bottom of that 2nd comic panel

[06:11:30] Bgrmystr2 we don't get to see the "Level 1 warrior" I'm kinda sad lol

[06:11:36] Bgrmystr2 but alas, to sleep I go

[06:11:58] Dadrobit Night!

[06:12:56] Dadrobit Also, I'm not sure that I'd want to voice a character tbh.

[06:15:47] Dadrobit This comic's got some legs, and that'd be a heckuva task to actually put together a cast that could put in the time to narrate everything to an acceptable degree of quality.

[06:16:53] Dadrobit Much less animate the whole thing like it's some weekend task.

[06:36:36] unsteddyphoenix Oh yeah, theres no chance of that

[06:36:51] unsteddyphoenix More talking in some magical dreamworld where an animation was feasible

[06:37:03] unsteddyphoenix Though wouldnt cast you as trace in all seriousness

[07:23:27] Dadrobit To speak nothing of the difficulty of representing 3 different languages without actually having anything to work off of except English.

[07:24:23] unsteddyphoenix There would need to be some sort of workaround

[07:24:25] Dadrobit That would be hella cumbersome to narrate.

[07:25:27] unsteddyphoenix Yeah an animaiton is just unrealistic

[07:25:35] unsteddyphoenix Clearly needs to be a fully fledged film

[07:25:49] unsteddyphoenix Also do you know what sleep is

[07:26:20] Dadrobit If it were just in an audiobook format, it might not be terrible with a narrator. But otherwise...

[07:26:40] Dadrobit Sleep is for the weak and the well rested.

[07:26:46] unsteddyphoenix Hmm. That could be alright.

[07:27:11] unsteddyphoenix I appreciate you

[07:27:21] unsteddyphoenix All other americans have left me¬

[07:27:48] unsteddyphoenix Converting it to an audiobook might not be impossible

[07:27:53] unsteddyphoenix Lot of work but

[07:28:07] Dadrobit Stuff like, "Flora and Natani whispered to one another in their mother tongue." *Insert dialogue*

[07:28:36] Dadrobit Awww, thanks for the appreciation.

[07:28:58] Dadrobit I know one person who's not gonna appreciate this later today though. Me.

[07:29:09] Dadrobit But he's largely unimportant.

[07:30:47] unsteddyphoenix Says you

[07:31:11] Dadrobit I mean, it'd be totally possible to turn it into an audiobook. It'd be like any other non-book IP being turned into a novel, like the Halo books.

[07:31:31] unsteddyphoenix How many books are translated from comic to audiobook?

[07:31:43] Dadrobit Then it's just a matter of casting and engineering it.

[07:31:52] unsteddyphoenix It actually seems easier. You can just describe each panel, not much thought needed.

[07:32:19] Dadrobit That's what I'd assume would be the case.

[07:32:48] Dadrobit Still a boatload of work though at over 1k pages.

[07:34:09] unsteddyphoenix Damn, one page a day would be 3 years...

[07:34:25] Dadrobit Hm, compiling the script wouldn't be terrible now either with page transcripts already done now.

[07:36:00] Dadrobit Honestly, with a competent team, depending on how long it took a writer/editor to transcribe the action and scenery going on, it would probably only take a few months.

[07:36:16] Dadrobit But it would take a grand amount of $$$

[07:36:27] unsteddyphoenix Unless it was a passion project for all of them

[07:36:35] unsteddyphoenix Would multiple writers be possible?

[07:36:57] Dadrobit Passion project turns it into many more months lol.

[07:37:07] unsteddyphoenix I imagine Tom would have to be consulted sometimes for insight into the characters thoughts...

[07:37:14] unsteddyphoenix It's true.

[07:37:34] unsteddyphoenix Maybe a kickstarter lo;

[07:38:47] Dadrobit I think multiple writers would be ~possible~... But they'd likely end up stumbling over one another. Better to have a proper team of director/writer/editor.

[07:39:18] unsteddyphoenix True. It's cheaper anyway.

[07:39:55] Dadrobit A single wirter helps keep the vision consistent.

[07:40:27] unsteddyphoenix I agree, the downside is being dependent on that person

[07:40:37] unsteddyphoenix But it's better than having the writing style jump around at places

[07:41:28] Dadrobit The failure of a single person not delivering their share is a burden that every person on the team bears.

[07:42:00] unsteddyphoenix I know it well...even once been that person.

[07:42:07] unsteddyphoenix feels bad both ways

[07:42:24] Dadrobit A writer not delivering, or a narrator not delivering. Both would put everything on halt.

[07:43:04] Dadrobit Yeah, I'm hella bad at procrastinating on non-essential things...

[07:43:34] Dadrobit Tom's still waiting on the next draft of the side story from me....

[07:44:15] unsteddyphoenix lol

[07:44:42] unsteddyphoenix Yeah I planned to hand in more attempts, or modify the story I already did but...

[07:44:49] unsteddyphoenix I didnt!

[07:45:01] unsteddyphoenix Have so many half-finished projects...

[07:46:03] Dadrobit That's also why I'm hesitant to support the Sage/Tom graphic novel. How many projects does Tom have already that he wants to do?

[07:46:44] unsteddyphoenix A lot.

[07:47:21] Dadrobit Winry. Colin/Sam. Fan side comics.

[07:47:42] unsteddyphoenix I think the Wrinry dream might be dead, but yeah.

[07:48:31] unsteddyphoenix I dont think it's a graphic novel

[07:48:45] unsteddyphoenix Sage described it as a japanese light novel style

[07:49:04] Dadrobit Ah, yeah, that was it.

[07:49:07] unsteddyphoenix Those things are mostly text, with like pictures scattered between them

[07:49:26] unsteddyphoenix What confuses me is, Tom hates writing?

[07:49:54] unsteddyphoenix So I assumed that Sage would be doing most of the actual putting it to words, while they both work on concepts

[07:50:07] unsteddyphoenix And maybe Tom draws various pics idk

[07:50:51] Dadrobit I'm reminded of a bad young adult book I read forever ago where two authors co-wrote a story handing the story off to one another chapter to chapter.

[07:50:57] unsteddyphoenix Seems like something they'd do in their spare time, which Tom would be using to do his homework anyway~

[07:51:26] unsteddyphoenix That sounds...vaguely masturbatory

[07:51:55] Dadrobit It was brutally clear that their visions didn't match up and it was kind of a weird tug of war.

[07:52:28] unsteddyphoenix lol

[07:52:36] unsteddyphoenix yeah, a single writer really is better

[07:52:54] Dadrobit Funny you should say that actually. One of the authors was clearly trying to turn it into a romance while the other just wanted a slice of life iirc.

[07:54:18] unsteddyphoenix Theres a game where you write a paragraph of a story, then hand it off to someone else revealing only the last line to them and they continue it

[07:54:20] Dadrobit Is Tom used to doing his homework? I thought his specialty was in putting homework off?

[07:54:31] unsteddyphoenix Maybe they were playing some variation of that

[07:55:01] unsteddyphoenix Dunno. Sage strikes me as a somewhat demanding life partner

[07:55:09] Dadrobit Just make the last sentence a total non sequitor.

[07:56:08] Dadrobit "So with my heart steeled against the cold, I began to consume my raw chicken."

[07:56:44] unsteddyphoenix I feel like that...goes against the spirit of it

[07:56:50] unsteddyphoenix But sure

[07:57:14] unsteddyphoenix "Then his minecraft game crashed"

[07:57:23] Dadrobit Just publish it as a modern art piece.

[07:57:43] unsteddyphoenix If that isnt art then what is

[07:57:48] unsteddyphoenix Not counting real art

[07:57:49] Dadrobit Everyone else "just doesn't get it."

[07:58:53] unsteddyphoenix The emperors new abstraction

[07:59:04] unsteddyphoenix If you dont see it, youre uncultured swine

[07:59:25] Dadrobit Lol

[08:01:51] Dadrobit I really only had "be a lazy sak and watch E3" written in for the docket today, but maybe I should be almost productive towards the side comics story today...

[08:02:03] Dadrobit Sack*

[08:02:18] unsteddyphoenix You can do it! I believe in you!

[08:02:49] Dadrobit Write? Or be a lazy sack?

[08:03:14] unsteddyphoenix writing

[08:03:23] unsteddyphoenix As a fellow millenial, I know you can do the other

[08:03:32] unsteddyphoenix no faith neccessary

[08:03:43] Dadrobit So much in common!

[08:05:06] unsteddyphoenix similar interests!

[08:07:16] Dadrobit .... Square Enix starts in 4 hours. If I put the nose to the grindstone, I could probably finish my draft up before then....

[08:08:03] unsteddyphoenix and then, just as the panel starts, you go to sleep!

[08:08:19] unsteddyphoenix Establishing dominance over modern game developers

[08:08:55] unsteddyphoenix christ I might sleep before you

[08:09:12] Dadrobit Iirc, the only thing I'm really interested in from them is Kingdom Hearts 3, and Microsoft already debuted that yesterday with a release date.

[08:09:14] unsteddyphoenix Ive never...left before someone else in this chat what an odd feeling

[08:09:25] unsteddyphoenix Yeah I was gonna say, what else is there?

[08:09:38] unsteddyphoenix They havent mentioned the FF7 remake for a billion years

[08:10:18] Dadrobit Lol, you've probably done it back when I was in security. Used to spend all night on here and get home a half hour from now only to get back on and chat for a bit.

[08:11:47] unsteddyphoenix Oh yeaaah...

[08:11:51] Dadrobit Also, I heard from a friend who has a friend who's uncle works in SE that a lot of FF7 had to be scrapped after the announcement and they've only just recently settled into proper develo

[08:12:01] Dadrobit development.

[08:12:25] unsteddyphoenix What you just said sounds like someone making fun of insider leaks

[08:13:16] Dadrobit Would I do something like that? :)

[08:14:03] unsteddyphoenix Inconcludable

[08:14:32] unsteddyphoenix But my friends cousins dog said maybe

[08:14:53] unsteddyphoenix And he's a golden retriever so im inclined to believe it

[08:14:59] Dadrobit Inconcludable, much like the release date of FF7.

[08:15:47] unsteddyphoenix Man I wanna play that too

[08:15:56] unsteddyphoenix Only FFs ive really played were 7 and 10

[08:16:00] unsteddyphoenix And they were hecking good

[08:16:28] Dadrobit I've played around half of them.

[08:16:40] Dadrobit Tactics is probably my favorite one though.

[08:17:19] Dadrobit It had/has the deepest and most mature story of them all in my opinion.

[08:19:15] Dadrobit "A man does not eat an omelette without breaking eggs! Blood is the price of progress! It is the ink in which history's pages are writ! Look around you, boy!"

[08:19:39] Dadrobit One of my favorite bad guy monologues.

[08:21:04] Dadrobit "Justice? I'd die of shame to hear the word from my own lips! Such lofty ideals cannot rule a people so common. Who has earned you the right to wield your sword of justice? To be hailed as hero? Is it not I?"

[08:21:35] Dadrobit Such fantastically rotten bastards were in that game.

[08:29:18] unsteddyphoenix I played tactics2

[08:29:21] unsteddyphoenix That was really good

[08:29:30] unsteddyphoenix Always wondered why they didnt make more

[08:30:09] unsteddyphoenix Dont remember they story standing out to me much, the the gameplay was fun as heck

[08:31:28] Dadrobit The one on the 3DS?

[08:33:13] unsteddyphoenix mmmI think so

[08:33:21] unsteddyphoenix was eitther 3ds or gba

[08:35:07] Dadrobit Ah, yeah. There were two on mobile. One for the GBA, then the second came out for the DS.

[08:35:36] Dadrobit They had similar gameplay style to the PlayStation FFT, but the story was waaaaaaaaaaaay different.

[08:35:37] unsteddyphoenix yeah likely the ds then

[08:36:00] Dadrobit The original FFT was straight up Game of Thrones.

[08:36:11] Dadrobit Before Game of Thrones.

[08:36:26] unsteddyphoenix ooo

[08:36:33] Dadrobit The story is actually really really brutal.

[08:36:39] unsteddyphoenix game of thrones was my shit before game of thrones

[08:37:09] unsteddyphoenix Im into that

[08:37:30] unsteddyphoenix "Political fantasy" might be my favourite genre

[08:37:40] unsteddyphoenix if that is a genre

[08:37:45] unsteddyphoenix And not something I made up just noe

[08:37:53] Dadrobit Political Fantasy is a perfect descriptor actually.

[08:38:26] Dadrobit It's all about the corruption that lies in the thrones of the warring nation. And later you learn of the corruption of the church controlling both sides.

[08:38:32] Dadrobit nations*

[08:39:34] Dadrobit A huge focus is also on the class divides of the commoners vs the nobles.

[08:40:02] unsteddyphoenix im all about everything you just said

[08:40:37] unsteddyphoenix "multiple power dynamics" is my safe word

[08:40:50] Dadrobit "No less human than we? Ha! Now there's a beastly thought. You've been less than we from the moment your baseborn father fell upon your mother in whatever gutter saw you sired! You've been chattel since you came into the world drenched in common blood!"

[08:41:32] Dadrobit Savage levels over 9000

[08:42:25] Dadrobit Seriously, if you can find the time, it's well worth it. The soundtrack is dope as well.

[08:43:05] unsteddyphoenix Maybe I can emulate it. My old ps2 was stolen many years ago~

[08:43:37] Dadrobit It had a remaster for PSP in 2007 if you can get that?

[08:43:59] unsteddyphoenix Huh, I do actually have an old psp somewhere

[08:44:08] unsteddyphoenix That just might work...

[09:30:00] unsteddyphoenix Well, dunno if youre still awake, but gnight

[09:30:25] unsteddyphoenix Have a good whatever you do instead of sleeping
