I decided this would be a good place to start doing weekly update posts on the PlayStation Experiment, my upcoming chronogaming series covering the PlayStation and the rest of the fifth generation of consoles.
Progress on the first episode has been slow, but steady. Now that I've got a lot of the basic common materials and workflow in place, I'm gaining a bit of velocity, but I've had less time recently due to a bunch of other obligations.
The first episode covers all of the Japanese PlayStation launch games along with an introduction to the series and a segment covering game history leading up to the PlayStation's launch. I've finished playing, recording footage, and writing reviews for the launch games plus the other segments. Currently, my focus has been on recording the voiceover narration.
Narration work is probably my least favorite part of the process, but I'm slowly getting more comfortable with it. I'm still working out the optimal flow for recording and editing audio. Today, I recorded two more shorter segments, for the two mahjong games that were PlayStation Japanese launch titles. Those join the two other segments I recorded last weekend.
During the week, I'm going to try to put a bit of time after work towards editing audio. I don't expect to get too much done next weekend, though, because I'm getting my omicron booster + flu shot on Saturday. I'm still hoping to actually get some completed segments done in the next few weeks so I can maybe get a preview out soon-ish.
