So, things have been moving along slowly but surely here. Currently, I'm out of town on vacation 'til the second week of November (hence my tardiness when it comes to replies,) but I figured I'd let you guys know what was all going on.
PATCH NOTES:
Added a scene to episode 2. as the episode lacked a particular sequence I felt belonged.
Episode 3 is re-written and complete, available for reading in the ECO folder
Currently working on episode 4, although it will likely be a little while before it's done, as I'm on vacation. The tweaks are relatively minor -- mostly dialogue and making characters' physical actions more clear. Most of what's left will come via my editor... if we can settle on a font for Basil. That's the hard part! This is not currently available, stay tuned!
A little work has been done to episode 5. This is where the pruning comes into effect, as a few side characters are being removed, as well as an auxiliary storyline that added nothing. Not currently available yet. Stay tuned!
Figured I'd warn about this bit... There's something going around on Skype right now, and it got me earlier today, and may have already gotten you. Change your password if you haven't. Be wary of any links people send you without comment. The current link I've seen going around links to a site called 'baidu' -- or at least, that's the one that my account sent out to everyone I know about 2 hours ago. :V
If I sent you a link, don't click it. I guess this is going around right now, 'cause I got a few instances of the same link in the past few days. Change your pass just in case!
It's likely I'll be getting a new account, though, or finally moving to telegram. We'll see.
Those of you who have already heard the alpha soundtrack know that this is a big project, but it's definitely gotten bigger! Almost everything on the alpha soundtrack has been either polished, or axed and redone. From what Strife and I estimate, we're around 70% on the soundtrack -- at least of our part. Our sound engineer/mixer/awesome dude Falk has been really making everything shine! Hopefully we'll get to share a little more before release.
still havnt started episode 2 of ECO but i have it downloaded onto my pc for later reading... at some point x.x some days its just hard to sit and read even when time is plentiful.
think its been about 3 years since i last looked at my skype. o.o
i'll need to get freedom planet 2 when it comes out. i enjoyed the first one.
and the big point - ENJOY THAT VACATION!!! - :3 just reminded myself of a scene from the movie warriors ^^
Hopefully time comes soon! :D I know you greatly enjoyed the story, so I'm looking forward to what'cha think! :3 n' all that. And yeah. XD Skype isn't very popular anymore, it seems. ;~; I'll probably be the last person using it, but ah well. I like it when it's not being hacked to bits. XD Also thanks :3
Thank you so much! :D So far vacation's been nice. x3 We've been all over the Southwest. Did the Grand Canyon and all that, and we're based in Vegas for most of it. Off to a race on Saturday too! x3 Then when I get home, i'm actually really excited to get back to work. @~@
Yeah, telegram isn't working for me since I don't own or want a cellphone. @~@ So I dunno. Bleh. :< I'll figure somethin' out.
I've been seeing these a lot too. D: Baidu's a popular Chinese website, maybe it's supposed to look legit to people from there?
Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head, honestly. From what I gather, it's an advertisement link that pays out cash money to the owner of the link. So I'm guessing that it's basically a get-rich-quick scheme for the hacker, or the hacker was hired to make it that way. xD Pretty ingenious, if i'm honest.
It's supervillain-esque! XD
Also, yeah! I wanted to have Verse as my icon here, to reflect that this is where ECO lives. :D I got this recently from a dear friend! :D Here's the full image.

Glad to hear things seem to be going better, and your finding some stride again with your projects. ^.^
If you do switch Skype names, I'd love to be able to still chat with you here and there. I hadn't heard of Telegram till now, but I do have Discord. I don't get too many different chat programs, or I start to lose track of who people are (especially those that regularly change their account names ^.^;)
