(IMPORTANT) HotRamenAudios.com & General Updates While I Have Your Attention

My Very Own Website!

HotRamenAudios.com!

Designed and developed by CrimsonSFM, a talented animator and website creator to my specifications, it is where I plan to host all of my audios from now on. By verifying your Patreon membership with the site, you will have access to all the content immediately. Currently, it features a landing page, an audio player with a waveform viewer, thumbnail, alts you can toggle between from the same page, and bios for all voice acting and artistic talent who help make Hot Ramen Audios what it is, both on the landing page and individualized to each audio. Future updates will feature a built-in video player to host motion comics and animatics, a more detailed crediting system, a commissions page with all commission and contact info, a Q&A Box, and a progress board where you can stay up to date with upcoming projects. Essentially, all the content of the Patreon page, Twitter, and Trello will be centralized.

The website is operational and (hopefully) bug-free, with all current audios available. Be sure to verify your membership today.

Moving forward, I will no longer post the full audio files to Patreon. I will post audio previews here, which will be publicly available to better help free members and unsubscribed members decide if the audio interests them before signing up. You can also listen to previews on the site's front page by clicking the audio's thumbnail.

Polls, Suggestion Boxes, and Voting will stay here on Patreon.

Alts, Alts, Alts!

Patreon's way of hosting alts up to now has been not-awesome. The Zelda audio quite literally required four separate posts despite being the same audio. The website hosting all alts on one page make them more appealing to produce. For pieces with a lot of interest and momentum, such as Konosuba and Persona 5, I will produce alternate endings for $10 backers, such as pantypoop endings for the toilet audios, toilet endings for the pantypoop audios, and extreme alts for either or, if the VA is comfortable acting out the part.

Introducing The Monthly Motion Comic

I have made my content up to now with acknowledgements to this site's limitations to host and keep my work secure. Simply put, I did not feel that hosted video files were secure enough to warrant the amount of time and energy that would go into them. Once the website's built-in video player is completed, Pal and I want to make one monthly motion comic/animatic for the $10 tier. There will not be one this month, as the Samus Aran animatic will be that. Next month's will be the long overdue Hatsune Miku motion comic. After which? It will be unknown territory for the page. I've gone over reasonable scope with Pal and we both feel its possible to do a comic once a month.

To ensure that, the Monthly Motion Comic will be its own project with its own suggestion box and its own stipulations for production. Simply put, I will be choosing ideas not only based on their appeal, but their scope. The Hatsune Miku comic is 80 panels long and counting, because it was never written with visuals in mind. To keep on schedule, the audio will be generally shorter (2-3 minutes) and will be conceived of and produced well in advance of the release date. I would also like to stress that these would be original works, developed from the ground up for the page and not adaptations of other artist's comics.

Other Updates While I Have Your Attention

• The Untitled Smash Bros. Audio will be going up this week! There was a delay with Palutena's vocals, but it has been resolved. Ideally, it will even go up with a title!

• The Persona 5 audio is unlikely to come out this month. The VA for Futaba has been sick for most of the month and is behind on all of her work as a result. But on the slim chance she gets the vocals in, everyone else's vocals are in and prepped, so it may be possible. If it does not come out, that means Konosuba, Persona 5, and Zhu Yuan will be your audios for June. In light of that, I will only be picking two winners to be produced in July.

• The Kobeni script is complete! MamaPacking's draft is better than what I would have written. The dialogue needed to be edited down, and I couldn't find the time to do so until now.

• The Untitled Samus Animatic is on track for its intended release date! However, the video player on the site is not yet implemented, so I need to think of a way to host it temporarily without it falling into the grubby crab claws of dastardly space pirates. More info to come.
