Well, we are working on the script for the Game Ranger 4. The bad news is we're looking at maybe up to two months to finish it. Why? Well, for one thing, quality assurance, and two, there's going to be a minimum of 18 characters who need lines written. A few trusted people have given us ideas on things for the next episode, so we will be using the good suggestions. Also, we'll probably be extending an offer of allowed help to a few trusted others as well with the script, just to make sure things stay fresh.

Yeah, you read that right. We'll be needing at least 13 additional voice actors, all of whom will be playing large parts in this episode. Each character will have around fifteen lines a piece.

What I'm aiming for here is a ten minute episode of just the main scenes. Now, if we feel that the movie would just be too drawn out doing that, obviously it will be cut shorter. We may even get the movie and point across doing it in five minutes total run time...I don't know yet!

So, where's Ron going and who's he meeting? It's a secret right now. I will say that there won't be much mixing and matching of sprites from different gaming worlds in the fourth episode, however, since it's going to be a self contained world, with Ron just happening to have to go there to put things right. Of course, knowing Ron, "putting things right" means gimping his way through it and getting lucky.

Once the script has been finalized and we feel satisfied with it, there will be an open audition! At this time, besides Ron, Magus, and three other characters, there is no person in mind for the other mains. We do know what we'd like them to sound like, though. So don't be afraid to throw us your auditions when the time comes.

Finalized for the Game Ranger 4 is the ability to choose to watch an intro sequence or go straight to the scene selection, the intro sequence, the scene selection screen, and the entire first scene (not animated or acted yet).

Outside of that, the All Sprite Collab will be up and running here on July 16h, 2009, so be looking out for that. I did the preloader and four scenes. There are a lot of great sprite artists involved in this project, so make sure you review and vote. I'm looking forward to reading all the reviews.

Lastly, my personal sprite mash-up is underway and going well. I've changed the preloader to something new since I used the other preloader for Game Ranger 3. I'll be working on that as I work on the script for Game Ranger 4. If you'd like to see what I have so far, you can see it here:

Remember, it's still heavily under progress and I make constant changes every day!
