auronluAfter recording 9 chapters' raw files, I discover I've got the mike set on omnidirectional, meant to pick up sounds in a room, rather than the setting that's meant for one-on-one recording. So I need to re-record them all, since the omnidirectional setting is a little more murky. Oh, well, practice makes perfect.
There is actually a less insane reason for doing this: for the last 20 years, since I first saw The Manhole, a surreal point-and-click game by the same folks that later created MYST, I've wanted to create a computer-animated audiobook of my favorite George MacDonald children's book from the 1800s. I've got to practice, or I'll never be able to pull it off. Of course, I also have to improve my drawing skills, which were never great and have atrophied. But...one step at a time. It's an odd wish, but the technology is now easily available, so...someday...I'd like to stop thinking how nice it would be to do it, and DO IT.

There's a constant list of things since my preteens/teens that I've always *known* I want to do and ... yeah ... I still need to do them. I've also wanted to create something that is a crossover between a point-n-click game, interactive art, and fiction, although something a bit more literary with more reading involved. Lots of 200-750 word stories linked together in a weird illustrated space. The problem for me, of course, is finding the time. Not that it will (or should) stop me.
