Voice test - Corneliustin

Corneliustin was a fun character to write - he's kind of a cross between Stan from Monkey Island and Foghorn Leghorn. When we released the demo which had no voicing, I watched a few playthroughs where the person playing was adding their own voicing - and without exception, everyone voiced him as a Texan, so my writing must have been reasonably successful!

Here you can see - er, hear - Rob McManus with his spot-on interpretation of the character.

(Incidentally the sparks one the faulty control panel affect my first couple of words. It wasn't me doing weird things with my voice!!)

Captain Disaster Audiobooks

A long time ago, in a galaxy pretty nearby, I started editing my original set of short stories starring the beloved space doofus and recording the results as audiobooks. I did the first five, and now I'm admitting defeat - I just don't have the time or energy to complete these. With the first 5 already recorded and available, I have made the decision to simply leave things as they are, but reduce the price from $10.99 (originally had 11 episodes to edit / record) to $4.99, to reflect how many episodes are actually available.

Below is an excerpt from Episode One, and the Itch page has excerpts for all 5 episodes.

Website milestone

In the big scheme of things it means nothing of course, but it feels quite significant to me - this website has now gone past 750,000 page views. Or, to put it in a way that perhaps sounds more impressive, three quarters of a million views.

That's all - it means nothing really, but I do love a good milestone! :-)
