Sigh, I really wish than “Darken space” series by DravenDarken is again a live project (sadly he removed his serie from YouTube due rules change some time ago). With possibilities of this updated camera in Odyssey environment I have no doubt he could make something really awesome.
Well, here’s some news you may like:
1) DarkenSpace season 1 is coming back to YouTube in the fall. I’ve spent the last six weeks or so going back through the older episodes and updating/replacing the parts of the soundtrack that weren’t up to my current standards, and am about halfway through the list of updates now. And I met with legal counsel to discuss my concerns with the FTC guidance and the changes in that guidance in the past year, and now feel I am no longer in any jeopardy if I repost this stuff.
2) I have scripts in the works for a DarkenSpace season 2, and Charles Hubbell has agreed to reprise his lead role in the series. Now everything depends upon whether EDO pulls its act together well enough for me to be able to capture quality video from it. This news about the camera suite is a very big and necessary step in that direction, but I’m still waiting to see what happens with the performance, lighting and planet textures before I make the final commitment to go ahead with production of new episodes.
Assuming I do decide to proceed (and I want to believe that’s more likely than not … I’m pulling for FD here!), the good news is that I am now retired from my day job and will be able to pour far more time into such a series than I could when I did the original season. Add to that: much improved studio gear, more experience composing for video, and an RTX 3070 in my gaming computer, and you might rightly guess that I’m excited about the prospect of doing this again, and better than ever. Stay tuned …
