First off let's ignore the fact that I chose Alta to be the character for the update graphic twice in a row unintentionally. So I had meant to do another update at the end of last month, but that didn't happen, and I didn't really take December off either as planned. Though to be fair I did really slow down. That being said it feels like a lot has happened since the last update.
So one of the first things I suppose I should address is the casting page for those who don't know. I removed it. Just temporarily. The reason being the only roles left were that of the Hamato brothers and there just has been much interest in them. And since I wasn't going to update the page anyways until I had a bunch of characters ready to go it just made sense to remove it entirely. I also have changed how I'm determining the casting budget. Original when this first started I gave myself a set number that was the same for every character, a maximum. Then once I started really casting and a lot of actors were coming to me their rates we're just honestly way over my budget for how many lines or words there are for each character. So then I was like making budget exceptions for pretty much every character and suddenly these characters with significantly less material than Uni were costing nearly the same amount. And Uni is the lead role so it just didn't feel fair to me. So I decided I would just be offering a rate that's the same as the lead so everyone is compensated the same. To me that just seems more fair everyone I work with is incredibly talented, and I just don't want anyone ending up feeling screwed because I started like going way over budget just to cast like a single person. It just makes it all a lot less stressful and keeps things more manageable for me to say, "listen here's the role, the words, the lines, and pay." And if an actor is cool with that then awesome if not that's totally understandable. But I'm like one person on a budget trying to do the best they can with that budget, and I frankly know it's feasible with the budget. So anyways, that's that, I believe in being transparent with people. So when the casting page does come back, it'll have all the stuff front and center so no one is wasting each other's time, and since I know every role will be within my budget it'll allow me to get people booked way quicker, and thusly just get things done quicker. Ho-Kay! Moving on to the more fun stuff. A lot of stuff I feel like has happened so here we go.

And that's where I'm at right now. Obviously as per usual these lists aren't 100% accurate, but they're relatively close. I shifted my focus to characters with speaking roles in the audiobook so that I can get that out as soon as possible. Which honestly doesn't do too much I'm realizing because most of the cast that is feature in the book say at least one thing, which means because I can even cast them I have to complete everything for them for the dating sim first. But still a better system than what I was doing before. I'm hoping to get casting going again in about a month or two. I'm really hoping I'll be able to get a good chunk of characters ready if I give myself say two months to do so. The Kappa are all ready so that's a good start and other characters are getting pretty close. Any who that's all for now folks!
