I am genuinely sorry about my sudden leaving a few years ago, can't believe how long it's been. Sadly life handed me a load of lemons and I had a hard time making lemonade. Life pretty bent me over with zero warning and screwed me, hard! (and not in a fun way either!) I've had a shit storm of stuff to contend with and what can only be described as a hellish time. The grizzly details aren't imortant because I'm back and here to stay! Not only am I back but work on my 3rd Cock Hero installment has RESUMED! WOOO YAAAY RAWR CHEER WOOP!.
I did try to recover my previous account under my old alias but it seems some email providers now have issues with Milovana's emails, so that account is now lost to the nethers. I still have my old name, only it's spelt correctly, which I think offers a more sophisticated, mature me...
For those that may have missed it, here's my last thread about Evolution2:
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=16445&p=205965&hil ... ns#p205965
Enough chit-chat, down to business;
Evolution 2 was gonna be a vast improvement over EVO1 which was quite well recieved. I remember a few people had some issues with how jarring the fast cuts were and in all honesty... I agree. I began EVO2 much more thorougly thought out and more carefully edited. I was more mindful with cuts, I tried better transitions, I've tried cutting from one scene to another where the modes are in the same poses. I've even spent ages syncing some of the scenes to the beats in certain rounds. However, it proved to be a bit more ambitious than I had initially thought and it was a hell of a lot of work. (I mean it lol) This is partially why I kinda abandoned the project too, sheer lack of time. Before I left, I backed up all my project files onto a portable drive, you know... just in case.... good job eh? and now I'm out of the eye of the storm and I have found a new lease of life and I'm going to set out to finish what I started and I am well underway!
That said, there's still a metric fuck-ton of work to be done. Here's a brief roadmap of what I'll need to do:
1. Rework/Restart some of the original parts that I'm not completely satisfied with:
I replayed some of the parts of my original project and I personally think that some of it is garbage. Some rounds I've removed entirely and am remaking them from scratch, others, are being re-edited to tweak and improve them. I'm sourcing better quality material compared to what I used initially and I'm being far more meticulous with my edits. I've already completely remade the first boss round as a tester and I don't like to toot my own horn but, it's WAY better now
.2. Re-plan the rounds:
I never fully revealed what it was i was doing with EVO2 so here's a brief summary:
-All of the rounds are themed and have several videos to choose from. Each video is its own file and needs to be put into a playlist without shuffle enabled.
-At the start of each round, you're presented with a "select stage" video which presents thumbnails along with a number for each of the videos for that round. Here's a sample:
-This select stage video has a 30 second countdown. You can use this time to rest, re-lube, sniff some poppers, or you can simply select your video immediately and continue
-To make a selection, you simply hit skip in your preferred media player the corresponding number of times. So to choose video 4 in round one, in VLC you simply hit "N" four times. Me being the super nerd that I am, I made a cockhero profile for my corsair keyboard. so if i wanna choose video 1, I hit F1. If I want video 5, I hit F5.
-Once you have completed the video you had chosen, the video will prompt you on how many times to hit skip to reach the next "select stage".
-Repeat until you reach the final boss.
- The typical Cock hero rules apply, (watch the screen/ stroke to the beat) however, this CH was made around the use of half strokes. So each beat displayed is a half stroke on your Johnson. So 2 beats would be a full up and down stroke. This is somewhat important as some later round have a beat-meter colour swap which will make you use full strokes on each beat. There are some optional play styles in the intro video too. The "shuffler" play style has you put your media player on shuffle and you have to keep going until you reach a "cum" round. Could be 10 videos, could be 2.
So, each round is set around a specific theme. Some of the themes I tried for some of the rounds just didn't work or were too difficult to make due to lack of decent source material to use that was of good enough resolution, and/or contained models that I actually find attractive. I am revisiting the themes and swapping them around or removing them entirely.
The themes at the moment:
Introduction and Instructions:Done and Done.
Round 1: Striptease - A selection of 8 different playboy models. (done and im happy with them.)
Round 2: Solo Women - A selection of women by hair colour (staying but is being tweaked.)
Round 3: Lesbian - Was originally going to be based on the location the video was shot outdoors/gym etc. Removed.
BOSS ROUND: Blowjob round (reworked and looking FINE!)
Round 4: Strip into Hardcore: Was going to be women based on ethnicity, but wasn't quite good enough. May stay.
Round 5:P.O.V round. Videos were based on each woman's cupsize. The beats in parts are also synced to the action.
BOSS ROUND: Accelerator - Selection of scenes with a beat that progressively speeds up. (didn't make it this far)
Round 6: didn't make it this far.
Round 7: didn't make it this far.
FINAL BOSS: didn't make it this far.
Some ideas I've had for rounds are:
Fetish round:I'd need to tread lightly here, cause not everyone is into anything considered "extreme" per-se. I had considered simpler things liike: Footjob/handjob/titwank etc. still a posibilty,
Holidays: Videos based on things like Xmas, Easter, Halloween, St. Patricks day. This could be a skippable round if it isnt the time of year. personally I don't like watching porn that xmas themed if it isn't December lol, but thats just me. This could also encompass cosplay in some sense. This round could be one that is optional and could be skipped.
Number of women:a choice of 1on1, 2on1, 3on1 etc. 1 on1 being a bit more inttimate and 4+ being a bit harder.
Finale I've toyed with this round mentally for some time. I know not everyone really likes the whole cumshot facials at the end of a video, So I had considered several videos that contain: Cumshots ( facials, female completions etc..) and other videos that have a longer "come now" section but is just some nice hardcore fucking rather than a woman getting splooged on.
The best and my favourite thing about the way i've built EVO2, is that because each round consists of a select video and several round video, I can add additional videos at any time and all you guys will have to do is swap out the select video and add the new ones too. BONUs!
Also, as per my previous topic, I'm open to suggestions and ideas for themes.
3. Once the rework and replan is finished, get on with the job at hand:
Once I'm satisfied with the new rounds and themes, I can crack on. Gathering the source material is always the more difficult chore when making these videos. I'm very picky about the quality of a videos and I find some movies that are perfect for the themes, but they are only SD, or its an older HD file so the quality isn't great. Selecting audio can be hard too, some songs sound like they'd be great but then the videos dont match... itts annoying, or maybe im just too picky lol.
Once the materials are Gathered, I can make a coffee (or 200) and get editing.
4. Once I have the project to an acceptable standard and stage, i'll do a sample beta test.
Once I'm, at a stage where the video is playable from start to finish (in some capacity) I'll do either a closed beta on here or i'll post a cut down condensed version using some of my favourite videos but without the option choose a path. This'll go onto a site like pornhub.
5. RELEASE!
Once we're all tested and I have rewatched the project in it's entirety several times, it will be up for release. Since each round has several videos to it. the end release is going to be fairly large. I think the videos I have at the moment total around 4.5GB and nearly 2 hours total playtime. So, I'll upload the whole thing to Empornium as a single torrent and I'll also release each round as a seperate downloads to a site like MEGA. TThey'll all be available at the same time so don't worry. I hate episodic video games so I wouldn't do that to you guys
One thing I can't wait to hear is which videos people choose. One person may go 1.3.4,B,2,1,B,3,4,B. Another may go 5,1,3,B,1,2,B,1,1,B. It adds a ton of replay value to it and as I said, I can add new videos to each round at any time and all you have to do is swap out some files. I'm feeling giddy over this lol SO, it's still a ways off yet, but it's once again in the works! Apologies again for my untimely disapppearance before. I hope this is enough to allow you to forgive me :D
Ciao for now.
Masquerade.
