Actually, I believe the film (1980) was originally shot in English.

I'm just trying to debate if I should take time away from working on our 2nd game's music, to try out for the dub, & then if I get a part or 2, taking the time to do those parts. ](*,)  I did a part in Ys 4, but, I think that was before the Frozen Utopia days, & I'm really trying to get ahead on our current project, so, I'm unsure of what to do.  I'll probably just skip it & keep on with our game.

Man, that's awesome.  I can't wait to play this fantastic RPG in glorious English!

P.S. - Can't you give up sleep and do both, P.D.?  If not, maybe Church will take your place.

I just posted a thread on this in the Homebrew section. Then I saw this thread.  #-o

I am VERY excited about this! I've already sent in auditions for several characters, and it seems possible that I will get the part of Nuse. Along with getting 2nd Place in Old Rover's contest, this is very fulfilling for me! :dance:

I am playing this game...But can't get past the 4rth chapter. I need a proper guide, cuz the one on Gamefaqs is not helping.  :-k

This is, of course, the second chapter of the greatest RPG series of all time.

I Just finished recording my audition for Guess Who: Lykos/Ryukos.

Will have it encoded and sent off tomorrow.

Thanks for your interest, guys. I can honestly say after repeated playthroughs that I think this is an outstanding game, and I think you will all enjoy it very much when it's finished. For a PCE-CD game especially, it's fantastic. I'm actually looking forward to play-testing the hell out of it.

Only 2 days left until the deadline for voice acting auditions, by the way!

Finally, FYI, the gamefaqs guide gets east and west mixed up more than once. If you have any questions, let me know.

This is a great game and I'll be first in line to congratulate everyone when it is finished.

However, I'd be more interested in knowing when it's, say, half completed rather than just knowing it's "started". These projects are abandoned 100x as often as they are completed.

Also, dubbing...that's cool and all but it adds a lot of complexity to an already difficult and unpaid job making the chances for abandonment much higher.

Good luck!

The announcement of the project on Romhacking was a merely a pretext for getting an advertisement for voice actors on the front page. I actually asked them about just making an ad, and it was their idea to frame it in an announcement. Anyway, it's worked well, because it seems more than half my auditions came through there. :)
