That's a decent idea. Not sure how to go about all that on the totally cheap. I don't know that any of us has the cash to setup incorporating. Not to mention the diverse nature of the team. I wonder where the best place to determine a Headquarters location would be? Clearly it should be where we get the best tax breaks -- should we ever require them.

Something to consider and thanks for the suggestion.

As a humble suggestion. I would recommend you guys create a corporate shell and all execute IP assignments to it of any IP generated as part of this project. If you ever want to take this project commercial, or prevent someone from pulling out and demanding all content, etc., such assignments will be crucial.

We will have to have a wiki, true enough. And I can set one of those up, so no worries there. And yeah, the whole same game new engine only covers the very recent idea that peachykeen had regarding allowing us to leverage NWN/NWN2 assets (at least for testing) and to allow folks with this application to use NWN/NWN2 assetst to create their modules from it. I am not sure how that can play out -- it's a bit out of my league and it was not originally part of the plan. I'm flexible though and can see the utility and advantage of at least allowing those who own NWN/NWN2 to leverage their assets by using the new game engine to make old style modules.

Helpful Suggestion: start a Wiki. If you don't know how (I don't), recruit someone who does, there's always web geeks hanging around who want to be useful.

First page: This is what the project is, and what it is not. Cause you know, I've finally gotten through my thick head that it's not "same game, new engine", but I'm having a hard time coming up with a one sentence or one paragraph description of what it actually is.

I've never liked discussion threads in wikis, so I like the regular discussion threads. Hash things out there. Move things into the wiki as they firm up and decisions are made. Put background information there. That's a fairly good way to share things that aren't 100 page word processor documents, and maybe they can do that too for all I know.

I understand your inclination to point people to three years of threads and say "read it all", and I will plow through it as time goes on (really I will), but that's not a good use of peoples' time, and it will only get worse as time goes on, more people arrive, and threads have thousands of posts.

I am reading this VO stuff. Seems to be a lot of helpful pointers here. Thanks you Dunni for pointing me in the right direction.

I do have a really good mic and headset. I have my standard sound card on my MB, but my headet/mic has a dedicated sound card with a sound canceling microphone. I just bought this recently. The brand is Platronics, which I have found to serve me well in the past.

As for recording programs I use. I have Sony ACID Pro 6.0. It is a slightly older version. However, it is pretty expensive so, 6.0 will have to do. I also have Audacity. I'm not sure how that one works really.

I've been practicing this specific characters vocal tones and accent for a few months now. I have it down really well until..... I put that mic to my head and hit record "sighs" Stage fright with out the stage! I feel ridiculous actually. No one around and yet? I still freeze up.

Maybe practice with the mic on and the record off? I am not sure of this will help my comfort zone. lol I'm grasping here.

That's all I have for now. I'm going back to reading these threads
