Yey, my first trial thread. After five years of being registered member (though just a year of being active member), how the time flies. And to think that the main idea behind Angela Light series is exactly from those old times of talking animation that never ever stopped! Actually, it was some time after that, back then I had an idea of a trial where Jake Marshall was a movie director. I did reuse that for my first not ever send competition entry. Back then I was calling her Themis White, she had different design, different color palette and different intended personality. But still, the main idea behind her story was this same. I’ll talk about that after full release of the first episode.

Help needed Voice for Angela
I need a voice for Angela, . I'm currently using Mia, but she is just a placeholder.
Angela is pretty confident and bit haughty, she often treats little victories as a permission to ridicule her opponents.

Spyromed (who I don't know why deleted his posts ;P) gave up on proofreading due to lack of time and real life stuff. So I'm in desperate need of another proofreader.
I don't ask for a lot, just a grammar clean up that would ensure my text to be properly understandable and readable, and also acceptably in character in case of canon characters. I don't want the trial to be rewritten into perfect english, I just want it to be good enough. I am also understandable when it comes to speed of proofreading (I still have to animate Angela and finish final intro pic ;P).
First part has ~1700 frames (Spyromed checked first 600). Second part is also ready and has ~2100 frames, though I didn't check it with grammar checking programs like part 1.

I won't be able to do a ton of work immediately due to being busy with IRL stuff (and comp entry help), but I can definitely chip in on this.

Well, now I have 2 proofreaders, so I don't think there is need for a third one (unless Doc and Ferdie think otherwise).
As for playtesters - I think we can wait with this until proofreading is done.

TheDoctor finished proofreading Part 1, so I think it is ready for playtesting.
If somebody besides justafan wants to join, just say so. I will send instructions after my sleep ;P
I'm proofreading the second part, and it's slow going due to a number of personal obligations on my end. If anyone wants to help out, I'd recommend checking in with Gamer2002. He's taking the time to delay release until everything is proofread, so I'm feeling a bit of a ticking clock now that part 1 is coming out!
Actually, the release was delayed also because I still had to make miniatures and I had some problems with resizing Evan's sprites (original filenames were too long and my photoshop cut them, what caused talking and not talking gifs to overwrite each others without me noticing man, I was swearing like mad because of it).
Though releasing part 1 to put additional pressure on proofreaders was something I considered ;]
BTW, Ferdie, if you have time send me your review of the case, even if short. You and Doc are the only one who know it in its entirety, but you guys aren't telling me anything :p
