*NM blinks a couple of times.* Wow. Where was I when this got off of the ground?
Anyway, if you need money, I might be able to help you out there. (I just got paid, and have nothing else to spend in on.) The one problem I have is this: How the heck do I get it from me to you? The mail? Some other, more secure way that will not involve me being killed by my parents?

Money order through the mail? It's essentially a check if you write his name on it.

I was thinking of opening a PayPal account to handle transactions that give money to HYA as an entity. That way, once we have some stuff online that can require money to get (HYA t-shirts, stickers, DVDs... You know. Crap.) or for those who'd feel comfortable just making a donation- there's somewhere for the money to go. Admittedly, the money we make that ends up in that PayPal account will probably physically end up in an expences account I do my personal checking from until such time as we're actually turning a profit and not just covering expences. Once we're not in the hole anymore I'll pay off the loans I get from people here to get things started, then open an account just for HYA's money. Which brings me to a point I gorgot to make earlier- the money we collect from people interested in helping us out is an investment. If HYA manages to really get going well and make money, the loans you pay in at the get-go will be repayed and you'll probably get a little something extra for your trouble as a bonus gift. I'm thinkiing like a 10% bonus in the check you get back over what you pay in initially. And if it doesn't get going... You should have given me more money. But hey- at least you can't lose more than what you paid me, right? The cost of the software I'd need is right around $300 after taxes and S&H (it's not the kind of thing I could just go to a software retail and buy). Of that, I can afford maybe... $50 at the moment. I'm still looking around to see if there's not a better deal available, but it looks like that's gunna be it. In case you care, the program I'm interested in is Electric Rain's Swift3D 4.5. It's a relatively cheap 3D modeling studio with some bonus features that'll let me basicly make HYA as a cel-shaded 3D anime. Also, this program has tools for integration with Flash itself, making my job as an animator easier when it come time to do certain things that only Flash does well. Here's a link to the official website for the program: www.erain.com/products/swift3d/If things keep up like this, I may also put up a HYA message board to keep the MSPB:Z from getting too cluttered with only partially related stuff. At any rate- money and feedback are appreciated.

Well, in a last-ditch effort to find a cheaper way to get Swift 3D for HYA, I turned to my college...
AND MAN, DID THAT PAY OFF! I was sure that Electric Rain was too small a company for my school to deal with, but it turns out that they have an acedemic price licensing agreement and I'll be elligible for that discount as soon as I get in the signup for my classes in the fall semester! I can get what I need for $110!
So happy several-months-in-advance birthday to me! I'm going to hook that up as soon as I get back from LA in a few weeks (I was loking into the product even more in-depth lately, and it looks like it's going to be worth every penny). Until then, I'm downloading the demo of the product (which doesn't let you save anything, but you can practice with all the tools you get in the real thing) so I can be used to it and ready to rock by the time it arrives.
By the time I get back, I should be able to afford it at this lower price, with some bills behind me, so I probably won't need to worry about you guys loaning me money. Thanks for the awesome offer, though, NM! Anyways- and now, I'm off to download the demo!

On the upside, you've a female anthro added in. Who's also a lesbian. Poor boy, you've so many generalizations to work in now... (sorry for the late reply) Yeah, you do know that lesbains have no sexully intrest in men, so give it up.

I'm pretty sure that he just meant that yours would be a predictably stereotypical character.

Ya velcome. If you need someone to pitch in afterward, I've got a pocket full of extra money (sort of) that has your name on it... if it doesn't fall through my fingers, first.

Yeah I figure that much, men are stupid mindless things. Sab, don't push it. We know how you feel about men already. Don't worry, we won't turn you into an oversexed bimbo who'll jump on any chick in the bar. Nor do we plan to give you any other stereotypical furry-anthro aspects. It's not like you have a say in it anyways, but I thought you should know that there were several decisions made on characters early on- and yours was one of them. Let's not make unreasonable generalizations in the future, shall we? The writing team certainly won't, so I'm going to ask you to have the same courtesy for those around you.

***HYA UPDATE***
If you want in on the action, sign up now! I'm going to close the character registration soon, as there are 18 officially recognized characters already, and I don't want the cast to get too bulky, as this will only be a 26 ep. series. (Yes, I'm capping it at one season.)
In other news, I should soon (as in, within a few days) have the programs I need to do the character modeling and animation for the show. That means I'm finalizing the character designs on paper now, so that I'll be ready to make the transition to 3D as soon as I can. This also means that you can look forward to a large update on the cast design images within the next few days.
Also, I want to start to compile credits now, so I don't forget anyone who's working on this project. Not much real work has been done thusfar, aside from my own R&D, so I'm putting up a list of what needs to be done for the show and who, if anyone, is working on it:
Directing: The X Co-Production: Aries, The X Character Design: The X 3D Modeling: ... Animation: The X Music: *LuzerBoi*, ... Sounds: ... Writing: Aries, ... Editing: The X, ... Storyboarding: The X, ... 2D Backgrounds: ... 3D Backgrounds: ... Mech Design: ... Mech 3D Visualization: ... Mech Animation: The X Special Effects: The X, ... Special Thanks: ...
Cast Voices (in order of request recieved):
Aries: ... Manae: ... Paul Kennith (PK) Matrix: ... Mega Raptor: ... Nazarian Thelonius (Naz T.) Mann: ... Lucius Victor: ... AirMaster: ... Squall: ... Johnny (Craze) Tomatoe: ... Eric Murphy: ... Tobari (Sab) Sabbatine: ... Drake (DragonClaw) Canon: ... Raz: The X Carl (AKA Gojira): ... Cyrus: ... Android Raptor: ... Rachel Limbido: ... Xtermo: The X
I'm trying to leave things pretty open at the moment, since I don't want to tie anyone down to anything just yet. If, however, you want to make sure that you are your own voice, or get to have your band's music cameo'd, or that you can write or draw backgrounds, or help out in any specific way, put in your request in this thread.
I know a lot of people have casually offered to help out in the past, but I didn't want to make you stick to that unless you really meant it. So if you want to be a part of the action, sign up in here ASAP. Just put what you want to do, followed by the name you want to appear in the credits.
Most jobs are subject to a few basic tests, to make sure that your style fits in with the rest of the show. Voice actors (who aren't a part of the Reno MSPB crew) will have to email me some line readings. This will be to a different email address than my main one, so I'll PM you with further instructions if you request to voice a character. If you don't sign up to do your own voice, one will have to be made up by those who have signed on as voice actors.
(The exception to this open voicing policy is Raz, who will be voiced by me. It's too long and off-topic to fully explain here, but I recently accidentally invencted a character voice that's awesome for Raz as portrayed in HYA.)
That's all for now! Keep watching for updates, and make sure to sign up for any last-minute characters and production assistance ASAP!
