The Eidolon Project

[Vegechan]

Sorry to bump this, but I'm still looking to get this project rolling. Here's my topic at Newgrounds that I made awhile ago that explains a lot of what I'm planning: http://newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=533668

I'd like to hear more opinions from you guys, seeing how I'm trying to appeal to an anime crowd. Some good news is that my friend who I was originally going to get to do the conept art may end up being my art director, as he may be learning Flash over the course of the next few months.

Also, something I haven't mentioned over at Newgrounds, is the fact that I am possibly planning on making this into a DVD set. I don't know how much that would cost of course, but it's happened to succesful internet series, like Red vs Blue, or even Foamy @.@ So I know it's possible, and I'm leaving my series open for that possibility, which is why I don't want to have any liscensed material (mainly songs) in the series.

So, any more thoughts any of you would like to share?

Please hurry

Thanks ^.^

It's going to take some time though, as I'll be moving in a couple weeks so I that time will be devoted to getting myself in, then a week or so after to settle in. After that, I'll be going overtime though.

Also, a friend helped me determine a name for the main frame. Impulse. I feel it suits it very well.

I really suggest you take this project as a priority. I wouldn't let it fall behind if I were you. I've been trying to start off a similar project on my own, and I've found that once you put this thing on the backburner the first time, you'll be more inclined to do it again.

My project is still in planning phases (I've got characters and the story arc down, next comes ironing out plot inconsistencies, rounding out the cast, finishing concept art and actual screenplays). It's already dragging; I haven't even thought about it in a week. I wasn't even planning on getting a team together; I was going to do all the art myself and put in subtitles, like a silent movie.

Of course, that's not to say I'll lose interest completely one day-- no, this is just too important for me-- but with all these other things taking up my time I'm going to have to give up something else or else nothing will happen.

So if you plan on managing a team, you should put serious thought into whether you have the discipline to keep the wheels turning on your end.

...

So anyway, about your project: it sounds like there are a lot of anime conventions in it (pardon the pun). I think you should move away from that if you don't want your huge important project to become a case of "we've seen it before and done better".
